  • 38 mm diameter ball allows smooth movement of medium weight loads
  • Steel ball option for general industrial use and high wear resistance
  • Nylon ball option protects painted or polished surfaces from marking

Application Scenarios

  • Transfer points between two conveyor lines running at right angles
  • Loading tables feeding a press brake, laser cutter or assembly station
  • Curved work areas on band saws, router tables or processing machinery
  • Feeding systems where product needs to be rotated or repositioned by hand
  • 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 unitsDisk mount is pressed into the deck and requires no bolts, but is harder to remove for service
Lower rated CY Series unitsThe CY-38B suits 45 kg loads, so lighter applications are better served by a smaller unit that rolls with less effort
Plain conveyor rollersBall transfer units allow movement in any direction, while rollers only move product along one axis
