Downward Ball Transfer Unit UK-19T
The UK-19T is a downward ball transfer unit with a 19.05 mm diameter steel ball, rated for 50 kg working load and 80 kg maximum load. It mounts through a 60 mm diameter hole from below the deck plate, allowing a flat, smooth object like a tray to be moved in any direction by hand. The unit weighs 3 kg and is available with a steel, galvanized steel, chrome-plated steel or stainless steel case.
Product Overview
The UK-19T is a downward ball transfer unit with a 19.05 mm diameter steel ball, rated for 50 kg working load and 80 kg maximum load. It mounts through a 60 mm diameter hole from below the deck plate, allowing a flat, smooth object like a tray to be moved in any direction by hand.

Part of the IK UK Series range, used in Warehouse and Distribution Centres.
Key Benefits
- Carries 50 kg per unit in normal service and 80 kg at peak load
- Downward mount bolts from below the deck plate, allowing access for maintenance
- 19.05 mm diameter ball provides stable rolling for flat, smooth trays and panels
- Steel or stainless steel case options suit dry, wet or washdown environments
- Two screw holes in the base allow secure attachment to worktables and benches
Application Scenarios
- Transfer points on a flat deck where trays or panels need to be repositioned by hand
- Feeding systems in packaging or processing machinery where items must be rotated
- Workbenches on assembly lines where a fixture is moved between operations
- Curved work surfaces on band saws or router tables requiring omnidirectional movement
- Conveyor integration points where a flat load changes direction without powered diverters
Who It Is For
- Conveyor system integrators building transfer points with downward mounting
- Industrial equipment builders designing worktables with manual repositioning
- Packaging and processing machinery manufacturers needing low-load transfer units
- Assembly line builders integrating manual positioning stations into production lines
- Industrial distributors stocking downward ball transfer units by load and mount type
Problems It Solves
- Flat loads that cannot be rotated or repositioned easily on a fixed deck
- Transfer points where product must change direction without powered mechanisms
- Worktables that require stable, low-friction movement for trays or panels
- Mounting constraints where space above the deck is limited
- Need for a consistent range of downward-mounted units with known load ratings
Technical Features
- 19.05 mm diameter steel ball for consistent rolling on flat surfaces
- Downward mount with 60 mm diameter hole for installation from below the deck
- Steel case with options for galvanizing, chrome plating or stainless steel finish
- Two screw holes in the base for secure attachment to worktables or benches
- Unit weight of 3 kg for deck load and shipping calculations
Materials
- Carbon steel ball and case for general industrial use
- Galvanized steel case for improved corrosion resistance in damp environments
- Chrome-plated steel case for wear resistance and a smoother surface
- Stainless steel (SUS304) case for washdown, food, or corrosive areas
Quality Control
- Load capacity verified 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 option ordered
Customization Options
- Case material selected between carbon steel, galvanized steel, chrome-plated steel and stainless steel (SUS304)
- Ball material is steel, as specified in the standard configuration
- Other UK Series models available for different load ratings and mounting types
Use Guide
- Divide the load by the number of units in contact to ensure each unit stays under 50 kg working load
- Keep peak and impact loading below the 80 kg maximum load figure
- Mount the unit on a flat deck plate so the ball sits at the same height as adjacent units
- Use the stainless steel case where the deck is exposed to washdown or corrosive conditions
- Avoid using on uneven or soft-bottomed items like cloth-wrapped goods

Compared With Other Options
| Upward ball transfer units | Downward mount allows installation from below the deck, ideal where space above is limited |
|---|---|
| Press fit ball transfer units | Downward mount bolts through the deck, allowing removal for maintenance, unlike press-fit units |
| Higher load rated units | The UK-19T is suited for 50 kg loads; heavier applications require a larger model in the same series |
