Part of the SI SD Series range, used in Warehouse and Distribution Centres.

Key Benefits

  • Carries 150 kg per unit in normal service and 200 kg at peak load
  • Flange mount allows secure attachment and easy removal for maintenance
  • 25.4 mm diameter ball provides stable rolling under heavy static and dynamic loads
  • Steel or stainless steel case options suit dry, wet or washdown environments
  • Two mounting screw holes ensure solid attachment to worktables and benches

Application Scenarios

  • Transfer points between two conveyor lines running at right angles
  • Loading tables feeding automated machinery where product rotation is needed
  • Assembly stations requiring manual repositioning of flat components
  • Packaging lines where trays or containers must be rotated for labeling or filling
  • Workbenches in processing or feeding systems where items are reoriented by hand

Who It Is For

  • Conveyor system integrators building transfer and rotation points
  • Material handling equipment builders designing worktables and decks
  • Industrial distributors stocking ball transfer units by load and mounting type
  • Manufacturers of processing and packaging machinery needing auxiliary movement points

Problems It Solves

  • Heavy flat items that cannot be rotated or repositioned on fixed rollers
  • Transfer points where product must change direction without powered diverters
  • Workbenches where operators struggle to push or align heavy trays by hand
  • Systems requiring consistent load capacity across multiple transfer units
  • Need for a single supplier for flange mount units with matching shaft and diameter

Technical Features

  • 25.4 mm diameter steel ball for high load capacity and durability
  • Flange mount with two screw holes for secure attachment to deck plates
  • Steel case with optional galvanization, chrome plating or stainless steel finish
  • 200 kg maximum load capacity for short-term peak or impact loading
  • Compact dimensions of 57 x 41 mm for integration into tight spaces

Materials

  • Carbon steel ball and case for general industrial use
  • Galvanized steel case for improved corrosion resistance in humid environments
  • Chrome-plated steel case for enhanced wear and appearance
  • Stainless steel (SUS304) case for wet, washdown or food handling applications

Quality Control

  • Load capacity verified against the 150 kg working load rating
  • 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)
  • Other SD Series load ratings available where 150 kg is not the right size
  • Mounting diameter and flange configuration maintained to match standard deck plate holes

Use Guide

  • Divide the total load by the number of units in contact to ensure no unit exceeds 150 kg working load
  • Keep peak or impact loading below the 200 kg maximum load figure
  • Mount units on a flat, rigid deck plate so all balls sit at the same height
  • Choose stainless steel case for wet, washdown or corrosive environments
  • Use only on flat, smooth surfaces such as trays; do not use on uneven or soft-bottomed items

Compared With Other Options

Press mount ball transfer unitsFlange mount allows removal and replacement without damaging the deck, while press fit units are faster to install but harder to service
Lower rated SD Series unitsThe SD-25 suits 150 kg loads, so lighter applications are better served by a smaller unit with lower rolling resistance
Plain conveyor rollersBall transfer units allow movement in any direction, while rollers only move product along one axis
