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 units | The NL-19A has a lighter nylon case, reducing deck weight and friction, but may have lower durability under repeated impact |
|---|---|
| Press fit ball transfer units | The flange mount allows removal for maintenance, while a press fit unit is faster to install but harder to replace |
| Higher load NL Series units | The 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.
