Disk mount pressed ball transfer unit CY-16B
The CY-16B is a disk mount pressed ball transfer unit with a 16 mm diameter ball, rated for 10 kg working load and 15 kg maximum load. It is designed to be mounted through a 4.5 mm hole in a flat deck plate, allowing light cartons, trays or small components to be moved and rotated in any direction by hand. The unit weighs 40 g and is available with a steel, stainless steel or nylon ball in a steel or galvanized, chrome plated, or stainless steel case.
Product Overview
The CY-16B is a disk mount pressed ball transfer unit with a 16 mm diameter ball, rated for 10 kg working load and 15 kg maximum load. It is designed to be mounted through a 4.5 mm hole in a flat deck plate, allowing light cartons, trays or small components to be moved and rotated in any direction by hand. The unit weighs 40 g and is available with a steel, stainless steel or nylon ball in a steel or galvanized, chrome plated, or stainless steel case.
Part of the CY Series range, used in Sheet Metal and Press Shops.
Key Benefits
- Carries 10 kg per unit in normal service and 15 kg at peak load
- Disk mount fits through a 4.5 mm hole so the unit sits flush with the deck surface
- Pressed ball design allows for low profile installation in tight spaces
- Steel, stainless steel or nylon ball options suit different surface protection needs
- Steel, galvanized, chrome plated or stainless steel case options for varied environmental exposure
Application Scenarios
- Transfer points on small assembly lines where light parts are rotated by hand
- Feeding systems for packaging machinery where small trays need omnidirectional movement
- Curved work surfaces on router tables or band saws where components must follow a contour
- Conveyor integration points where a light load must be redirected without powered diverters
- Processing machinery auxiliary equipment requiring low-profile, compact transfer units
Who It Is For
- Conveyor system integrators building light-duty transfer and rotation points
- Packaging machinery builders needing compact ball transfer units for small parts
- Industrial equipment makers designing curved or angled work surfaces
- Assembly line builders integrating manual rotation points for light components
- Industrial distributors stocking ball transfer units by load rating and mounting type
Problems It Solves
- Light loads that bind or drag when moved across a fixed deck plate
- Transfer points where product must change direction without a powered mechanism
- Space-constrained areas where a low-profile unit is required
- Need for a consistent range of ball transfer units with matching shaft and hole sizes
- Inconsistent mounting or ball materials when sourcing from multiple suppliers
Technical Features
- Pressed ball design with a 16 mm diameter ball for omnidirectional movement
- Disk mount with a 4.5 mm mounting hole for installation through a deck plate
- Ball material selected from steel, stainless steel or nylon to suit surface contact
- Case material selected from steel, galvanized, chrome plated or stainless steel
- Unit weight of 40 g for deck load and shipping calculations
Materials
- Steel ball for general industrial use with standard wear resistance
- Stainless steel ball for wet, washdown or corrosive environments
- Nylon ball for non-marking contact with painted or polished surfaces
- Steel case for standard dry environments
- Galvanized or chrome plated case for improved corrosion resistance
- Stainless steel case for wet, washdown or high-corrosion areas
Quality Control
- Load capacity verified against the 10 kg rating before packing
- Ball rotation checked by hand for free movement in all directions
- Material grade confirmed against the ball and case option ordered
- Mounting hole size checked to ensure 4.5 mm diameter for proper fit
Customization Options
- Ball material selected between steel, stainless steel and nylon
- Case material selected between steel, galvanized, chrome plated and stainless steel
- Other CY Series load ratings available where 10 kg is not the right size
Use Guide
- Divide the load by the number of units in contact to ensure no more than 10 kg per unit
- Keep peak and impact loading below the 15 kg maximum load figure
- Mount units on a flat 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 moisture or cleaning

Compared With Other Options
| Flange mount ball transfer units | Disk mount sits flush with the deck and requires a smaller hole, while flange mount is bolted from above and allows easier removal |
|---|---|
| Higher rated CY Series units | The CY-16B suits 10 kg loads, so heavier applications require a larger model with higher capacity |
| Press fit ball transfer units | Disk mount is pressed into a hole and can be replaced, while press fit units are harder to remove and service |
