Product Overview

The NL-19A is a flange mount nylon ball transfer unit with a 19.05 mm diameter ball, rated for 10 kg working load and 15 kg maximum load. It is designed for light-duty handling of flat, smooth objects such as trays, panels, and rigid containers. The unit weighs 55 g and features a nylon case with a choice of nylon, steel or stainless steel ball. It mounts via flange with two screw holes for secure attachment to a worktable or deck plate.

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

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 and easy removal for maintenance
  • Nylon case reduces weight and provides low friction for smooth movement of light loads
  • Omni-directional ball allows rotation in any direction for precise positioning
  • Nylon ball option protects painted or polished surfaces from marking

Application Scenarios

  • Transfer points on assembly lines where small trays or panels need to be rotated by hand
  • Feeding systems for packaging machinery handling rigid flat components
  • Workstations on processing tables where a light fixture or tool must be repositioned
  • Conveyor transfer decks between two lines running at right angles with low load requirements
  • Routing and band saw tables where a flat workpiece needs to be reoriented during cutting

Who It Is For

  • Conveyor system integrators building light-duty transfer and rotation points
  • Industrial equipment builders designing worktables and feeding stations
  • Packaging machinery manufacturers needing low-load handling components
  • Assembly line builders integrating manual positioning points for small parts
  • Industrial distributors stocking ball transfer units by load rating and material

Problems It Solves

  • Light loads that stick or drag when moved across a fixed deck plate
  • Transfer points where product must change direction without powered diverters
  • Operators struggling to reposition small but stiff components by hand
  • Need for a compact, low-weight transfer unit that fits into tight deck spaces
  • Requirement for a non-marking ball transfer unit for painted or polished surfaces

Technical Features

  • Flange mount with two screw holes for secure and removable attachment
  • 19.05 mm diameter ball allows smooth movement of small flat items
  • Nylon case reduces weight and provides low wear in light-duty applications
  • Ball available in nylon, steel or stainless steel to match surface and environment
  • Unit weight of 55 g for deck load and shipping calculations

Materials

  • Nylon case for low weight and reduced friction in light-duty handling
  • Nylon ball for non-marking contact with painted or polished surfaces
  • Steel ball for higher wear resistance in general industrial use
  • Stainless steel ball for wet or washdown environments

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 hole alignment checked for proper screw fit

Customization Options

  • Ball material selected between nylon, steel and stainless steel
  • Case material is fixed as nylon for this model
  • 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 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
  • Use the nylon ball where the load surface must not be marked
  • Avoid using on uneven or soft-bottomed items such as cloth-wrapped goods

Compared With Other Options

Steel case ball transfer unitsThe NL-19A has a lighter nylon case, reducing deck weight and friction, but may have lower durability under repeated impact
Press fit ball transfer unitsThe flange mount allows removal for maintenance, while a press fit unit is faster to install but harder to replace
Higher load NL Series unitsThe NL-19A suits 10 kg loads, so heavier applications require a larger model with higher capacity

Nylon Ball Transfer Unit NL-19A Questions

What load can one NL-19A 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-19A mounted?

It is a flange mount unit with two screw holes, so it is bolted to the deck plate rather than pressed in.

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 fixed as nylon.

How much does the unit weigh?

Each NL-19A weighs 55 g, which is used for deck load and shipping calculations.

Can I get other load ratings in the same series?

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