Flange Mount Ball Transfer Unit CY-38A
The CY-38A is a flange mount pressed ball transfer unit with a 38 mm diameter ball, rated for 60 kg working load and 80 kg maximum load. It is designed to be bolted through a flange onto a deck plate, allowing flat, smooth objects like trays to be moved and rotated in any direction by hand. The unit weighs 460 g and is available with a steel, stainless steel, or nylon main ball in a steel or galvanized, chrome-plated, or stainless steel case.
Product Overview

Part of the CY Series range, used in Sheet Metal and Press Shops.
Key Benefits
- Carries 60 kg per unit in normal service and 80 kg at peak load
- Flange mount allows secure attachment and easy removal for maintenance
- 38 mm diameter ball provides stable rolling under moderate load
- Steel, stainless steel, or nylon ball options suit different surface protection needs
- Galvanized, chrome-plated, or stainless steel case options for varied environmental conditions
Application Scenarios
- Transfer tables between two conveyor lines running at right angles
- Assembly stations where a tray or flat component must be rotated by hand
- Feeding systems in packaging machinery requiring smooth directional change
- Processing machinery with curved work surfaces where product alignment is critical
- Material handling decks where multiple units are used to move trays across a surface
Who It Is For
- Conveyor system integrators building transfer points into automated lines
- Material handling equipment builders designing flat deck transfer tables
- Packaging machinery manufacturers needing directional flexibility in feed systems
- Industrial distributors stocking ball transfer units by load and mounting type
- Production line builders requiring consistent, replaceable components for deck assemblies
Problems It Solves
- Flat loads that jam or drag when pushed across a fixed deck plate
- Transfer points where product must change direction without powered diverters
- Operators struggling to rotate or align a tray or sheet by hand at the end of a line
- Mixed-use decks where a single unit must handle both light and heavy flat items
- Inconsistent mounting methods that lead to loose or misaligned units over time
Technical Features
- 38 mm diameter ball for stable load distribution and smooth omnidirectional movement
- Flange mount with two screw holes for secure attachment to deck plates
- Main ball supplied in steel, stainless steel, or nylon to match surface requirements
- Case supplied in steel, galvanized steel, chrome-plated steel, or stainless steel
- Unit weight of 460 g for deck load and shipping calculations
Materials
- Steel ball for general industrial use with high wear resistance
- Stainless steel ball for wet, washdown, or corrosive environments
- Nylon ball to protect painted or polished surfaces from marking
- Galvanized steel case for improved corrosion resistance in moderate environments
- Chrome-plated steel case for enhanced surface hardness and appearance
Quality Control
- Load capacity verified against the 60 kg working load before packing
- Ball rotation checked by hand for free movement in all directions
- Material grade confirmed against the ball and case option ordered
- Mounting holes checked for correct diameter and spacing
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 60 kg is not the right size
Use Guide
- Divide the load by the number of units in contact to check the 60 kg per unit rating
- Keep peak and impact loading below the 80 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 washed down or exposed to moisture

Compared With Other Options
| Press mount ball transfer units | Flange mount bolts to the deck and can be removed for service, while a press fit unit is faster to install but harder to replace |
|---|---|
| Lower rated CY Series units | The CY-38A suits 60 kg loads, so lighter decks are better served by a smaller unit that rolls with less effort |
| Plain conveyor rollers | Ball transfer units allow movement in any direction, while rollers only move product along one axis |
Flange Mount Ball Transfer Unit CY-38A Questions
What load can one CY-38A ball transfer unit carry?
The rated load capacity is 60 kg per unit and the maximum load capacity is 80 kg.
How is the CY-38A mounted?
It is a flange mount unit, so it is bolted through the flange onto the deck plate rather than pressed into a hole.
Which ball material should I choose?
Steel for general use, stainless steel for wet or corrosive areas, and nylon to protect painted or polished surfaces.
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-38A weighs 460 g, which is used when calculating deck weight and shipping.
Can I get other load ratings in the same series?
Yes, the CY Series covers other load ratings, so ask for the model that matches your load per unit.
