- Packaging lines where cartons are turned or aligned before sealing
Who It Is For
- Conveyor system integrators building transfer and rotation points
- Material handling equipment builders constructing deck sections
- Industrial distributors stocking ball transfer units by load and size
- Assembly line builders needing manual rotation of fixtures or parts
- Warehouse automation contractors installing manual transfer zones
Problems It Solves
- Loads that bind or jam when pushed across a fixed deck plate
- Transfer points where product must change direction without powered diverters
- Operators struggling to rotate or align a load by hand at the end of a line
- Mixed deck applications where a single unit must handle varying load weights
- Need for a compact, low-profile transfer point that fits into tight deck spaces
Technical Features
- 38 mm diameter ball with fine rolling surface for consistent motion
- Disk mount design pressed into a hole in the deck plate
- Main ball supplied in steel, stainless steel or nylon to match the load surface
- Case supplied in steel, galvanized steel, chrome plated steel or stainless steel
- Unit weight of 430 g for deck load and shipping calculations
Materials
- Steel ball for general industrial use and high load capacity
- Stainless steel ball for wet, washdown or corrosive environments
- Nylon ball for non-marking contact with painted or polished surfaces
- Steel case for standard industrial decks
- Galvanized or chrome plated steel case for improved corrosion resistance
Quality Control
- Load capacity verified against the 45 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
- Unit weight measured to ensure consistency across batches
Customization Options
- Ball material selected between steel, stainless steel and nylon
- Case material selected between steel, galvanized steel, chrome plated steel and stainless steel
- Other CY Series load ratings available where 45 kg is not the right size
Use Guide
- Divide the load by the number of units in contact to check the 45 kg per unit rating
- Keep peak and impact loading below the 55 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 washdown

Compared With Other Options
| Flange mount ball transfer units | Disk mount is pressed into the deck and requires no bolts, but is harder to remove for service |
|---|---|
| Lower rated CY Series units | The CY-38B suits 45 kg loads, so lighter applications 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 |
