Part of the NJ LW FB Series range, used in Sheet Metal and Press Shops.
Key Benefits
- Rated for 200 kg working load and 250 kg maximum load per unit
- Flange mount with M20 diameter allows secure bolt-on installation
- 30.16 mm diameter ball enables smooth omnidirectional movement of flat loads
- Available with nylon, steel or stainless steel ball to suit surface contact needs
- Steel or stainless steel case supports use in industrial and washdown environments
Application Scenarios
- Transfer points between two conveyor lines running at right angles
- Feeding systems where flat trays or panels need to be rotated or repositioned
- Processing machinery auxiliary stations requiring manual alignment of components
- Packaging lines where flat items are moved and turned by hand
- Assembly lines with workstations that require 360-degree load rotation
Who It Is For
- Conveyor system integrators building transfer tables and rotation points
- Material handling equipment builders designing feeding and processing stations
- Industrial distributors stocking ball transfer units by load and mounting type
- Assembly line builders needing consistent load capacity across multiple units
- Production line designers requiring flange-mounted units for easy maintenance
Problems It Solves
- Heavy flat loads that bind or jam when pushed across a fixed deck
- Transfer points where product must change direction without powered diverters
- Manual repositioning of trays or panels that require 360-degree rotation
- Inconsistent mounting methods when using units from multiple suppliers
- Lack of a single source for ball transfer units matching a specific shaft or flange size
Technical Features
- Fine machined ball and seat for consistent rolling under load
- Flange mount with M20 diameter for bolt-on installation on deck plates
- 30.16 mm diameter main ball for stable load transfer and low rolling resistance
- Main ball supplied in nylon, steel or stainless steel to match surface requirements
- Case supplied in steel or stainless steel for durability in dry or wet environments
- Unit weight of 1.4 kg for deck load and shipping calculations
Materials
- Nylon main ball for non-marking contact with painted or polished surfaces
- Carbon steel ball and case for general industrial use
- Stainless steel ball and case (SUS304) for wet, washdown or corrosive environments
Quality Control
- Load capacity verified against the 200 kg working load rating
- Ball rotation tested by hand to ensure free movement in all directions
- Material grade confirmed against the ball and case option ordered
Customization Options
- Ball material selected between nylon, steel and stainless steel
- Case material selected between steel and stainless steel
- Mounting diameter and flange configuration available in standard sizes
- Other FB Series load ratings available upon request
Use Guide
- Divide the total load by the number of units in contact to ensure no unit exceeds 200 kg working load
- Keep peak and impact loading below the 250 kg maximum load limit
- Mount units on a flat, rigid deck plate so all balls sit at the same height
- Use nylon ball where the load surface must not be marked
- Use stainless steel ball and case where the unit is exposed to washdown or corrosive conditions

Compared With Other Options
| Press fit ball transfer units | Flange mount allows removal and replacement without damaging the deck, while press fit units are faster to install but harder to service |
|---|---|
| Lower rated FB Series units | The FB-024 suits 200 kg loads, so lighter applications may benefit from a smaller unit with lower rolling resistance |
| Standard roller conveyors | Ball transfer units allow omnidirectional movement, while rollers only move product along a single axis |
Customized Mahcined Ball Transfer Unit FB-024 Questions
What load can one FB-024 ball transfer unit carry?
The rated load capacity is 200 kg per unit and the maximum load capacity is 250 kg.
How is the FB-024 mounted?
It is a flange mount unit with M20 diameter, so it is bolted through the flange onto the deck plate.
Which ball material should I choose?
Nylon for non-marking contact, carbon steel for general use, stainless steel for wet or washdown areas.
Is a stainless steel version available?
Yes, both the ball and the case can be supplied in stainless steel (SUS304).
How much does the unit weigh?
Each FB-024 weighs 1.4 kg, which is used for deck load and shipping calculations.
Can I get other load ratings in the same series?
Yes, the FB Series includes other load ratings, so ask for the model that matches your load per unit.
