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

Press Mount High Load Ball Transfer Unit IS-76 Questions

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.
