It is designed for use in conveyor transfer points, feeding systems and processing machinery where flat, smooth items such as trays need to be moved in any direction. The unit weighs 110 g and is housed in a nylon case with a flange mount for secure attachment to a deck plate or workbench.
Part of the NL Series range, used in Warehouse and Distribution Centres.
Key Benefits
- Carries 20 kg per unit in normal service and 25 kg at peak load
- Flange mount with two screw holes allows secure attachment and easy removal for maintenance
- 25.4 mm diameter ball provides stable rolling for flat, smooth objects like trays
- Nylon case resists wear and reduces noise in industrial environments
- Omni-directional movement allows product rotation and transfer in any direction
Application Scenarios
- Transfer points between two conveyor lines running at right angles
- Feeding systems where trays or flat components need to be repositioned by hand
- Processing machinery auxiliary equipment requiring smooth load transfer
- Packaging lines where flat items are rotated or aligned at a station
- Workbenches with curved surfaces where omnidirectional movement is needed
Who It Is For
- Conveyor system integrators building transfer and alignment points
- Material handling equipment builders designing feeding and processing stations
- Industrial distributors stocking ball transfer units by load rating
- Assembly line builders requiring manual repositioning of flat components
- Manufacturers of packaging and processing machinery needing low-friction transfer
Problems It Solves
- Flat items jamming or dragging when moved across a fixed deck plate
- Transfer points where product must change direction without powered diverters
- Manual repositioning of trays or components that require rotation in any direction
- Lack of consistent mounting and load rating across multiple supplier components
- Noise and wear from metal-on-metal contact in high-frequency transfer points
Technical Features
- 25.4 mm diameter main ball for consistent contact with flat, smooth surfaces
- Flange mount with two screw holes for secure attachment to deck plates
- Nylon case provides wear resistance and reduces noise during operation
- Main ball available in nylon, steel or stainless steel to match surface requirements
- Unit weight of 110 g for deck load and shipping calculations
Materials
- Nylon main ball for non-marking contact with painted or polished surfaces
- Carbon steel ball for general industrial use with higher wear resistance
- Stainless steel ball (SUS304) for wet, washdown or corrosive environments
- Nylon case for reduced noise and wear in high-frequency transfer points
Quality Control
- Load capacity verified against the 20 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 thread integrity
Customization Options
- Ball material selected between nylon, steel and stainless steel
- Case material is fixed as nylon in this model
- Other NL Series load ratings available where 20 kg is not the right size
Use Guide
- Divide the load by the number of units in contact to ensure no more than 20 kg per unit
- Keep peak and impact loading below the 25 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 where the deck is exposed to washdown or corrosive conditions

Compared With Other Options
| Press fit ball transfer units | Flange mount allows removal for service, while a press fit unit is faster to install but harder to replace |
|---|---|
| Lower rated NL Series units | The NL-25C suits 20 kg loads, so lighter decks are better served by a smaller unit that rolls with less effort |
| Metal case ball transfer units | The nylon case reduces noise and wear, but may have lower durability under heavy impact compared to metal cases |
Middle Load for pom ball transfer unit NL-25C Questions
What load can one NL-25C ball transfer unit carry?
The rated load capacity is 20 kg per unit and the maximum load capacity is 25 kg.
How is the NL-25C mounted?
It is a flange mount unit, so it is bolted through the flange onto the deck plate using two screw holes.
Which ball material should I choose?
Nylon for surfaces that must not be marked, carbon steel for general use, and stainless steel for wet or washdown areas.
Is a stainless steel version available?
Yes, the main ball can be supplied in stainless steel (SUS304).
How much does the unit weigh?
Each NL-25C weighs 110 g, which is used when calculating deck weight and shipping.
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.
