Key Benefits
- 250 kg working load capacity and 300 kg maximum load for heavy-duty handling
- Flange mount with two screw holes allows secure attachment and easy removal for maintenance
- 30.16 mm diameter ball enables smooth omnidirectional movement of flat, rigid loads
- Nylon ball option prevents marking on painted or polished surfaces
- Stainless steel case and ball option suitable for washdown or corrosive environments
Application Scenarios
- Transfer points between two conveyor lines running at right angles or diagonal angles
- Feeding systems in packaging machinery where trays or flat components need to be repositioned
- Processing tables in machining or assembly lines where a heavy fixture must be rotated by hand
- Curved work surfaces on band saws or router tables requiring continuous load transfer
- Material handling decks in automated systems where a single unit must support consistent heavy loads
Who It Is For
- Conveyor system integrators building high-load transfer points
- Industrial equipment builders requiring durable ball transfer units for processing tables
- Packaging machinery manufacturers integrating transfer decks into feeding lines
- Assembly line designers needing hand-rotatable platforms for heavy fixtures
- Industrial distributors stocking ball transfer units by load rating and mounting type
Problems It Solves
- Heavy flat loads that jam or bind when pushed across a fixed deck plate
- Transfer points where product must change direction without powered diverters
- Operators struggling to rotate or align a heavy load by hand at the end of a line
- Inconsistent performance when using multiple low-capacity units on a single deck
- Lack of a single supplier for matched ball transfer units with consistent load ratings
Technical Features
- Fine machined ball and seat for consistent rolling under heavy static load
- Flange mount with two screw holes for secure attachment to a deck or table
- 30.16 mm diameter ball allows smooth omnidirectional movement of flat items
- Main ball available in nylon, steel, or stainless steel to match surface requirements
- Case available in steel or stainless steel for dry or wet environments
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 250 kg working load before packing
- Ball rotation checked by hand for free movement in all directions
- Material grade confirmed against the ball and case option ordered
- Flange and mounting holes inspected for correct alignment and finish
Customization Options
- Ball material selected between nylon, steel, and stainless steel
- Case material selected between steel and stainless steel
- Other load ratings available in the FB Series where 250 kg is not the right size
Use Guide
- Divide the total load by the number of units in contact to ensure no unit exceeds 250 kg working load
- Keep peak and impact loading below the 300 kg maximum load figure
- Mount units on a flat, rigid deck plate so all balls sit at the same height
- Choose the nylon ball where the load surface must not be marked
- Choose stainless steel ball and case where the deck is exposed to washdown or moisture

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-025 suits 250 kg loads, so lighter applications are better served by smaller units that roll with less effort |
| Standard roller bearings | Ball transfer units allow omnidirectional movement, while roller bearings only move product along one axis |
Customized Mahcined Ball Transfer Unit FB-025 Questions
What load can one FB-025 ball transfer unit carry?
The rated load capacity is 250 kg per unit and the maximum load capacity is 300 kg.
How is the FB-025 mounted?
It is a flange mount unit with two screw holes, so it is bolted to the deck plate rather than pressed in.
Which ball material should I choose?
Nylon for surfaces that must not be marked, steel for general use, and 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-025 weighs 430 g, 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.
