Product Overview

The NL-25C is a flange mount ball transfer unit with a 25.4 mm diameter nylon, steel or stainless steel main ball, rated for 20 kg working load and 25 kg maximum load. 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

Manufacturing Process

Step 1

Machining of the flange and case body

Step 2

Assembly of the ball and support components

Step 3

Drilling and finishing of mounting holes

Step 4

Load check against the 20 kg rating before packing

Step 5

Final inspection and packaging

Compared With Other Options

Press fit ball transfer unitsFlange mount allows removal for service, while a press fit unit is faster to install but harder to replace
Lower rated NL Series unitsThe 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 unitsThe 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.
