Product Overview
The NL-25B 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 housed in a nylon case and designed for use on flat, smooth surfaces such as trays or deck plates. The unit weighs 120 g and is mounted via a flange with two screw holes for secure attachment to a worktable or conveyor deck.
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
- Nylon case reduces weight and provides corrosion resistance in dry environments
- Main ball available in nylon, steel or stainless steel to suit surface contact requirements
- 25.4 mm diameter ball enables smooth omnidirectional movement of flat, rigid items
Application Scenarios
- Transfer points on a flat deck where trays or rigid containers need to be rotated or repositioned by hand
- Feeding systems in packaging machinery where flat items must be moved in any direction
- Processing tables in assembly lines where fixtures are manually adjusted
- Curved work areas on router tables or band saws requiring 360-degree load transfer
- Conveyor decks where a single load rating must support consistent flat-surfaced items
Who It Is For
- Conveyor system integrators building transfer decks with consistent load handling
- Packaging machinery builders needing reliable omnidirectional movement for flat trays
- Industrial equipment makers designing worktables with manual repositioning points
- Assembly line designers integrating manual alignment stations into production flow
- Material handling equipment builders sourcing ball transfer units by load and mounting type
Problems It Solves
- Flat items that jam or drag when pushed across a fixed deck due to lack of omnidirectional movement
- Transfer points where product must change direction without powered diverters or complex mechanisms
- Manual repositioning of fixtures or trays that requires excessive force or misalignment
- Inconsistent mounting methods that lead to loose or misaligned units during operation
- Lack of a single supplier for ball transfer units with matching load rating, ball material and mounting style
Technical Features
- 25.4 mm diameter main ball allows smooth movement of flat, rigid objects
- Flange mount with two screw holes provides secure and repeatable attachment
- Nylon case reduces weight and resists moisture in dry environments
- Main ball available in nylon, steel or stainless steel to match surface contact needs
- Unit weight of 120 g for deck load and shipping planning
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 lightweight, dry environment applications
Quality Control
- Load capacity verified against the 20 kg working load rating before packing
- Ball rotation checked by hand for free movement in all directions
- Material grade confirmed against the ball and case option ordered
- Flange and mounting holes inspected for correct alignment and finish
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 under normal use
- Keep peak and impact loading below the 25 kg maximum load figure
- Mount units on a flat, rigid 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 where the deck is exposed to washdown or corrosive conditions

Compared With Other Options
| Press fit ball transfer units | Flange mount allows removal and replacement without damaging the deck, while press fit units are faster to install but harder to service |
|---|---|
| Lower rated NL Series units | The NL-25B suits 20 kg loads, so lighter applications are better served by a smaller unit with less rolling resistance |
| Steel case ball transfer units | The nylon case reduces weight and is suitable for dry environments, while steel case units offer higher durability in heavy-duty settings |
POM Ball Transfer Unit NL-25B Questions
What load can one NL-25B 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-25B 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, carbon steel for general use, and stainless steel (SUS304) 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-25B weighs 120 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.
