Part of the CY Series range, used in Sheet Metal and Press Shops.

Key Benefits

  • Carries 40 kg per unit in normal service and 50 kg at peak load
  • Flange mount allows secure attachment and easy removal for maintenance
  • 30 mm diameter ball provides stable support for medium-weight flat items
  • Available with steel, stainless steel or nylon ball to match surface requirements
  • Case options in steel with galvanizing, chrome plating or stainless steel for durability

Application Scenarios

  • Transfer points between two conveyor lines running at right angles
  • Assembly stations where a tray or flat component needs to be rotated by hand
  • Feeding systems for packaging machinery requiring smooth directional change
  • Processing tables where flat parts are repositioned without powered movement
  • Material handling decks in production lines where manual alignment is needed

Who It Is For

  • Conveyor system integrators building transfer and rotation points
  • Industrial equipment builders designing feeding or processing tables
  • Packaging machinery manufacturers needing omni-directional movement
  • Production line builders integrating manual repositioning stations
  • Industrial distributors stocking ball transfer units by load rating

Problems It Solves

  • Flat items that jam or drag when pushed across a fixed deck plate
  • Transfer points where product must change direction without powered diverters
  • Manual repositioning of trays or components that require 360-degree rotation
  • Need for a consistent component range that matches tube diameter and shaft size
  • Lack of a single supplier for ball transfer units with matching load and mounting specs

Technical Features

  • Pressed ball transfer unit with flange mount for bolt-on installation
  • 30 mm diameter main ball for stable support of medium-weight flat loads
  • Flange with two mounting holes spaced 70 mm apart for secure attachment
  • Mounting hole diameter of 7 mm to accept standard bolts
  • Compact dimensions of 86 x 40 mm for integration into tight deck spaces

Materials

  • Steel ball and case for general industrial use with good wear resistance
  • Stainless steel ball and case for wet, washdown or corrosive environments
  • Nylon ball for non-marking contact with painted or polished surfaces
  • Galvanized steel case for improved rust resistance in dry or mildly humid areas
  • Chrome plated steel case for enhanced surface hardness and appearance

Quality Control

  • Load capacity verified against the 40 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
  • Mounting hole size and spacing verified to match 7 mm and 70 mm specifications
  • Flange flatness checked to ensure even contact with the deck plate

Customization Options

  • Ball material selected between steel, stainless steel and nylon
  • Case material selected between steel with galvanizing, chrome plating or stainless steel
  • Other CY Series load ratings available where 40 kg is not the right size
  • Mounting hole size and distance can be adjusted for different deck designs

Use Guide

  • Divide the total load by the number of units in contact to ensure no more than 40 kg per unit
  • Keep peak and impact loading below the 50 kg maximum load figure
  • Mount units on a flat, rigid deck plate so all balls sit at the same height
  • Choose nylon ball where the load surface must not be marked
  • Choose stainless steel ball and case where the deck is exposed to moisture or washdown

Compared With Other Options

Press fit ball transfer unitsFlange mount allows removal and replacement without damaging the deck, while a press fit unit is faster to install but harder to service
Lower rated CY Series unitsThe CY-30A suits 40 kg loads, so lighter applications are better served by a smaller unit that rolls with less effort
Swivel castersBall transfer units allow 360-degree movement on a flat surface, while casters are designed for floor movement and have directional limitations

Flange Mount Ball Transfer Unit CY-30A Questions

What load can one CY-30A ball transfer unit carry?

The rated load capacity is 40 kg per unit and the maximum load capacity is 50 kg.

How is the CY-30A mounted?

It is a flange mount unit, so it is bolted through the flange onto the deck plate using two 7 mm mounting holes spaced 70 mm apart.

Which ball material should I choose?

Steel for general use, stainless steel for wet or corrosive environments, and nylon to protect painted or polished surfaces from marking.

Is a stainless steel version available?

Yes, both the ball and the case can be supplied in stainless steel.

How much does the unit weigh?

Each CY-30A weighs 240 g, which is used for deck load and shipping calculations.

Can I get other load ratings in the same series?

Yes, the CY Series includes other load ratings, so ask for the model that matches your load per unit.
