flange mount pressed ball transfer unit CY-15A
The CY-15A is a flange mount pressed ball transfer unit with a 15 mm diameter ball, rated for 10 kg working load and 15 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 38 g and is available with a steel, stainless steel, or nylon ball in a steel or galvanized, chrome-plated, or stainless steel case.
Product Overview
The CY-15A is a flange mount pressed ball transfer unit with a 15 mm diameter ball, rated for 10 kg working load and 15 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.

Part of the CY Series range, used in Sheet Metal and Press Shops.
Key Benefits
- Carries 10 kg per unit in normal service and 15 kg at peak load
- Flange mount with two screw holes allows secure attachment to a deck plate
- 15 mm diameter ball provides stable movement for flat, smooth items
- Steel, stainless steel, or nylon ball options suit different surface protection needs
- Steel, galvanized, chrome-plated, or stainless steel case options suit various environmental conditions
Application Scenarios
- Transfer points between two conveyor lines running at right angles
- Feeding stations on packaging machinery where trays need to be repositioned
- Processing tables where flat components are rotated by hand for assembly
- Conveyor decks where a light load must be moved in any direction without powered guidance
- Auxiliary equipment in material handling systems requiring low-friction omnidirectional movement
Who It Is For
- Conveyor system integrators building transfer and rotation points
- Material handling equipment builders constructing decks and worktables
- Industrial distributors stocking ball transfer units by load and size
- Packaging machinery manufacturers needing low-profile transfer units
- Assembly line builders requiring manual repositioning of flat components
Problems It Solves
- Flat items that jam or drag when pushed across a fixed deck plate
- Transfer points where product must change direction without a powered diverter
- Manual repositioning of trays or components that require 360-degree movement
- Need for a compact, low-profile unit that fits into tight deck space
- Requirement for consistent mounting and load performance across multiple units
Technical Features
- 15 mm diameter ball for stable omnidirectional movement of flat objects
- Flange mount with two 4 mm mounting holes spaced 40 mm apart for secure attachment
- Pressed ball housing with a steel or galvanized, chrome-plated, or stainless steel case
- Ball material selected from steel, stainless steel, or nylon to suit surface contact
- Unit weight of 38 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
- Steel case for standard dry environments
- Galvanized or chrome-plated steel case for improved corrosion resistance
- Stainless steel case for high hygiene or aggressive environments
Quality Control
- Load capacity tested against the 10 kg working load rating
- Ball rotation checked by hand for free movement in all directions
- Material grade confirmed against the ball and case option ordered
- Mounting hole size and spacing verified to 4 mm and 40 mm respectively
- Unit weight checked to ensure 38 g tolerance
Customization Options
- Ball material selected between steel, stainless steel, and nylon
- Case material selected between steel, galvanized, chrome-plated, or stainless steel
- Other CY 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 no more than 10 kg per unit
- 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 nylon ball where the load surface must not be marked
- Choose stainless steel ball and case where the deck is exposed to moisture or cleaning

Compared With Other Options
| Pressed-in ball transfer units | Flange mount allows removal and replacement, while a pressed-in unit is fixed and harder to service |
|---|---|
| Lower rated CY Series units | The CY-15A suits 10 kg loads, so lighter applications may benefit from a smaller unit with less rolling resistance |
| Swivel casters | Ball transfer units are for deck-mounted movement, while casters are for floor-level mobility and are not suitable for fixed deck applications |
