Key Benefits

  • Carries 10 kg per unit in normal service and 15 kg at peak load
  • Flange mount allows secure attachment and easy removal for maintenance
  • Nylon ball and case reduce marking on painted or polished surfaces
  • Compact size of 46 x 23 mm fits into tight deck spaces
  • Omni-directional movement enables rotation and repositioning without powered diverters

Application Scenarios

  • Transfer tables between two conveyor lines running at right angles
  • Assembly stations where a tray or fixture needs to be rotated by hand
  • Packaging lines where flat trays are repositioned for labeling or filling
  • Feeding systems for processing machinery requiring manual alignment
  • Workbenches with curved or angled surfaces where directional control is needed

Who It Is For

  • Conveyor system integrators building light-duty transfer and rotation points
  • Material handling equipment builders designing low-load handling decks
  • Industrial distributors stocking ball transfer units by load rating
  • Assembly line builders needing manual repositioning at workstations
  • Equipment makers integrating handling points into processing machinery

Problems It Solves

  • Light loads that stick or drag when pushed across a fixed deck plate
  • Transfer points where product must change direction without powered components
  • Operators struggling to rotate a tray or fixture by hand at a workstation
  • Need for a compact, low-profile unit that fits into tight deck spaces
  • Risk of surface damage from metal balls on painted or polished work surfaces

Technical Features

  • Flange mount with two screw holes for secure attachment to deck plate
  • Nylon main ball reduces marking on sensitive surfaces
  • Nylon case for light-duty use in dry, non-corrosive environments
  • 19.05 mm ball diameter allows smooth rolling under low load
  • Compact dimension of 46 x 23 mm for integration into tight deck layouts

Materials

  • Nylon main ball for non-marking contact with painted or polished surfaces
  • Nylon case for light-duty use in dry, non-corrosive environments
  • Steel ball option for higher wear resistance in general use
  • Stainless steel ball option for wet or washdown areas

Quality Control

  • Load capacity verified against the 10 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
  • Flange mounting holes checked for correct alignment and size

Customization Options

  • Ball material selected between nylon, steel and stainless steel
  • Case material available in nylon for light-duty use
  • Other NL Series load ratings available where 10 kg is not the right size

Use Guide

  • Divide the load by the number of units in contact to ensure the 10 kg per unit rating is not exceeded
  • Keep peak and impact loading below the 15 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
  • Use the nylon case for dry environments; avoid in wet or corrosive areas

Compared With Other Options

Press mount ball transfer unitsFlange mount bolts to the deck and can be removed for service, while a press fit unit is faster to install but harder to replace
Higher rated NL Series unitsThe NL-19C suits 10 kg loads, so heavier decks are better served by a larger unit with higher load capacity
Plain conveyor rollersBall transfer units allow movement in any direction, while rollers only move product along one axis

Flange Mount Nylon Ball Transfer Unit NL-19C Questions

What load can one NL-19C ball transfer unit carry?

The rated load capacity is 10 kg per unit and the maximum load capacity is 15 kg.

How is the NL-19C 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?

Nylon for surfaces that must not be marked, steel for general use, and stainless steel for wet or washdown areas.

Is a stainless steel version available?

Yes, the ball can be supplied in stainless steel, but the case is nylon.

How much does the unit weigh?

Each NL-19C weighs 50 g, which is used for deck load and shipping calculations.

Can I get other load ratings in the same series?

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