Press Mount High Load Ball Transfer Unit IS-76
The IS-76 is a press mount high load ball transfer unit with a 76 mm diameter steel ball, rated for 400 kg working load and 450 kg maximum load. It is designed to be pressed into a deck plate so that heavy trays, pallets or flat panels can be moved and rotated in any direction by hand. The unit weighs 10.5 kg and is available with a steel or stainless steel case and a carbon steel or nylon ball.
Product Overview
The IS-76 is a press mount high load ball transfer unit with a 76 mm diameter steel ball, rated for 400 kg working load and 450 kg maximum load. It is designed to be pressed into a deck plate so that heavy trays, pallets or flat panels can be moved and rotated in any direction by hand. The unit weighs 10.5 kg and is available with a steel or stainless steel case and a carbon steel or nylon ball.
Part of the IA IS Series range, used in Warehouse and Distribution Centres.
Key Benefits
- Carries 400 kg per unit in normal service and 450 kg at peak load
- Press mount fixes the unit into a deck plate with no bolts or flanges required
- 76 mm diameter ball provides stable support for large flat loads
- Steel or stainless steel case options for dry or wet environments
- Carbon steel or nylon ball choice to suit surface protection needs
Application Scenarios
- Transfer points between two conveyor lines where heavy trays must be rotated
- Loading tables for industrial presses or forming machines handling flat steel or plastic sheets
- Assembly line stations where a large fixture must be repositioned by hand
- Packaging lines where flat trays are moved between stations without powered transfer
- Processing machinery feed tables requiring omnidirectional movement of rigid components
Who It Is For
- Conveyor system integrators building high load transfer points
- Industrial equipment builders designing flat load handling tables
- Assembly line engineers needing manual repositioning of heavy fixtures
- Material handling contractors installing transfer decks in production lines
- Industrial distributors stocking high load ball transfer units by capacity
Problems It Solves
- Heavy flat loads that cannot be moved easily across a fixed deck plate
- Transfer points where product must change direction without powered diverters
- Manual repositioning of large fixtures that require full 360 degree rotation
- Lack of consistent load rating across multiple suppliers for a single deck design
- Need for a single component that supports both static and dynamic load without jamming
Technical Features
- 76 mm diameter steel ball with fine machining for consistent rolling under load
- Press mount design allows direct insertion into a pre-drilled deck hole
- Housing made from carbon steel with optional galvanizing or chrome plating
- Ball available in carbon steel or nylon to match the load surface
- Unit dimensions of 158 mm diameter by 105 mm height for deck space planning
Materials
- Carbon steel ball for general industrial use with high wear resistance
- Nylon ball for protecting painted or polished surfaces from marking
- Carbon steel case for standard dry environments
- Galvanized steel case for mild corrosion resistance
- Chrome plated steel case for improved surface hardness and appearance
- Stainless steel case for wet, washdown or corrosive areas
Quality Control
- Load capacity verified against the 400 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
- Press fit hole size checked to ensure proper insertion into deck plate
- Weight verified at 10.5 kg for shipping and deck load calculations
Customization Options
- Ball material selected between steel and nylon
- Case material selected between steel, galvanized steel, chrome plated steel, and stainless steel
- Other IS Series load ratings available where 400 kg is not the right size
Use Guide
- Divide the load by the number of units in contact to ensure the 400 kg per unit rating is not exceeded
- Keep peak and impact loading below the 450 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 case where the deck is washed down or exposed to moisture

Compared With Other Options
| Flange mount ball transfer units | Press mount requires no bolts or flanges and is faster to install, but harder to remove for maintenance |
|---|---|
| Lower rated IS Series units | The IS-76 suits 400 kg loads, so lighter decks are better served by a smaller unit that rolls with less effort |
| Plain conveyor rollers | Ball transfer units allow movement in any direction, while rollers only move product along one axis |

What load can one IS-76 ball transfer unit carry?
The rated load capacity is 400 kg per unit and the maximum load capacity is 450 kg.
How is the IS-76 mounted?
It is a press mount unit, so it is pressed into a pre-drilled hole in the deck plate.
Which ball material should I choose?
Steel for general use and nylon for surfaces that must not be marked.
Is a stainless steel version available?
Yes, the case can be supplied in stainless steel for wet or corrosive environments.
How much does the unit weigh?
Each IS-76 weighs 10.5 kg, which is used for deck load and shipping calculations.
Can I get other load ratings in the same series?
Yes, the IS Series covers other load ratings, so ask for the model that matches your load per unit.
