Key Benefits
- 50 kg working load and 60 kg maximum load per unit for consistent performance
- Downward mount with two screw holes allows secure attachment to a worktable or deck plate
- 19.05 mm diameter steel ball provides stable, omnidirectional movement for flat items
- Available in carbon steel, galvanized steel, chrome-plated steel or stainless steel (SUS304) for different environmental needs
- Compact 53 x 38 mm dimensions fit into tight deck spaces without interfering with adjacent components
Application Scenarios
- Transfer points on a flat deck where trays or flat panels need to be moved in any direction
- Feeding systems on packaging or processing machinery where items must be repositioned by hand
- Curved work areas on band saws or router tables where continuous movement is required
- Assembly line stations where a flat component is rotated or aligned manually
- Conveyor integration points where a load must transition between two lines at an angle
Who It Is For
- Conveyor system integrators building transfer points with fixed deck plates
- Packaging machinery builders needing omnidirectional movement for tray handling
- Industrial equipment manufacturers integrating ball transfer units into processing lines
- Material handling equipment makers designing worktables with manual repositioning
- Production line builders requiring consistent load handling across multiple stations
Problems It Solves
- Loads that cannot be rotated or repositioned easily on a fixed deck plate
- Transfer points where product must change direction without powered diverters
- Manual alignment of flat items that require 360-degree movement on a stable platform
- Inconsistent mounting methods that lead to loose or misaligned units during operation
- Lack of a single-source supplier for ball transfer units with matching load and mounting specs
Technical Features
- 19.05 mm diameter steel ball for consistent rolling under load
- Downward mount with two screw holes for secure attachment to a deck plate
- Steel ball and case with options for galvanized, chrome-plated or stainless steel finishes
- 53 x 38 mm overall dimensions for compact integration into worktables
- Mount length of 41 mm to ensure proper clearance and alignment with the deck
Materials
- Carbon steel case and steel ball for general industrial use
- Galvanized steel case for improved corrosion resistance in humid environments
- Chrome-plated steel case for enhanced wear resistance and appearance
- Stainless steel (SUS304) case and steel ball for washdown or corrosive areas
Quality Control
- Load capacity tested against the 50 kg working load rating before packing
- Ball rotation checked by hand for free movement in all directions
- Material grade confirmed against the case and ball option ordered
- Mounting holes inspected for correct size and alignment
Customization Options
- Case material selected between carbon steel, galvanized steel, chrome-plated steel or stainless steel (SUS304)
- Ball material is steel, no alternative materials available
- Other IK UK Series models available for different load ratings or mounting types
Use Guide
- Ensure the load per unit does not exceed 50 kg during normal operation
- Keep peak or impact loads below the 60 kg maximum load limit
- Mount the unit on a flat, rigid deck plate so all balls sit at the same height
- Use stainless steel version in wet or washdown environments to prevent corrosion
- Only use on flat, smooth surfaces such as trays or metal sheets—do not use on soft or uneven bottoms

Compared With Other Options
| Flange mount ball transfer units | Downward mount bolts from below and is better suited for deck plates with limited space above, while flange mount units are bolted from above |
|---|---|
| Press fit ball transfer units | Downward mount allows removal and replacement without damaging the deck, while press fit units are faster to install but harder to service |
| Higher rated units | The IK-19B is suited for 50 kg loads, so heavier applications require a larger model with higher load capacity |
