Part of the NJ LW FB Series range, used in Sheet Metal and Press Shops.
Key Benefits
- Carries 600 kg per unit in normal service and 800 kg at peak load
- Flange mount with two screw holes allows secure attachment to a deck or worktable
- 60 mm diameter ball provides stable rolling under heavy static and dynamic loads
- Stainless steel ball and case option for use in wet, washdown or corrosive environments
- Nylon ball option protects painted or polished surfaces from marking during transfer
Application Scenarios
- Heavy load transfer tables in packaging lines where trays or rigid containers are repositioned
- Curved workstations on band saws or router tables requiring 360 degree movement
- Assembly line feed points where large flat components must be rotated by hand
- Material handling decks in industrial processing systems where multiple units share the load
- Feeding systems in automated machinery where precise alignment of flat parts is required
Who It Is For
- Conveyor system integrators building high-load transfer points
- Industrial equipment builders designing processing or packaging workstations
- Material handling contractors installing heavy-duty transfer decks
- Production line engineers needing consistent load ratings across multiple units
- Industrial distributors stocking ball transfer units by load capacity
Problems It Solves
- Heavy flat loads that bind or jam when pushed across a fixed deck or plain rollers
- Transfer points where product must change direction without powered diverters
- Operators struggling to rotate or align large flat components by hand
- Mixed load applications where a single unit must support both light and heavy items
- Lack of consistent load ratings and mounting options when sourcing from multiple suppliers
Technical Features
- Fine machined ball and seat to maintain low rolling resistance under heavy static load
- Flange mount with two screw holes for secure attachment to a flat deck or worktable
- 60 mm diameter main ball for high load capacity and stability during rotation
- Main ball available in nylon, carbon steel or stainless steel to match surface requirements
- Case available in carbon steel or stainless steel (SUS304) for dry or wet environments
Materials
- Nylon main ball for non-marking contact with painted, polished or sensitive surfaces
- Carbon steel ball and case for general industrial use in dry environments
- Stainless steel ball and case (SUS304) for wet, washdown or corrosive areas
Quality Control
- Load capacity verified against the 600 kg working load rating before packing
- Ball rotation checked by hand for free movement in all directions
- Material grade confirmed against the ball and case option ordered
- Flange mounting holes checked for alignment and thread integrity
Customization Options
- Ball material selected between nylon, carbon steel and stainless steel
- Case material selected between carbon steel and stainless steel (SUS304)
- Other load ratings available in the FB Series where 600 kg is not the correct size
- Mounting configuration can be adapted for flange or press fit if required
Use Guide
- Divide the total load by the number of units in contact to ensure no unit exceeds 600 kg working load
- Keep peak and impact loading below the 800 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 corrosive conditions

Manufacturing Process
Step 1
Machining of the case and ball seat to precise tolerances

Step 3
Drilling and finishing of the flange mounting holes
Step 4
Load testing to verify 600 kg working load capacity
Step 5
Final inspection and packing
Compared With Other Options
| Press mount ball transfer units | Flange mount allows removal and replacement without damaging the deck, while a press fit unit is faster to install but harder to service |
|---|---|
| Lower rated FB Series units | The FB-026 suits 600 kg loads, so lighter applications are better served by a smaller unit with less rolling resistance |
| Plain conveyor rollers | Ball transfer units allow movement in any direction, while rollers only move product along one axis |
Customized Mahcined Ball Transfer Unit FB-026 Questions
What load can one FB-026 ball transfer unit carry?
The rated load capacity is 600 kg per unit and the maximum load capacity is 800 kg.
How is the FB-026 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, 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-026 weighs 2.5 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.
