Press Mount Machined Ball Transfer Unit SP-60
The SP-60 is a press mount machined ball transfer unit with a 60 mm diameter main ball, rated for 800 kg working load and 1200 kg maximum load. It is designed to be pressed into a deck plate so that heavy trays, pallets or flat components can be moved and rotated in any direction by hand. The unit weighs 3.8 kg and is available with steel, stainless steel or nylon main balls in steel or galvanized, chrome plated, or stainless steel cases.
Product Overview
The SP-60 is a press mount machined ball transfer unit with a 60 mm diameter main ball, rated for 800 kg working load and 1200 kg maximum load. It is designed to be pressed into a deck plate so that heavy trays, pallets or flat components can be moved and rotated in any direction by hand. The unit weighs 3.8 kg and is available with steel, stainless steel or nylon main balls in steel or galvanized, chrome plated, or stainless steel cases.
Part of the SP Series range, used in Warehouse and Distribution Centres.
Key Benefits
- Carries 800 kg per unit in normal service and 1200 kg at peak load
- Press mount installs directly into a deck plate with no need for bolts or flanges
- 60 mm diameter ball provides high load capacity for heavy flat items
- Steel, stainless steel or nylon ball options suit different surface protection needs
- Steel, galvanized, chrome plated or stainless steel case options for different environments
Application Scenarios
- Transfer points between two conveyor lines where heavy trays must be rotated or repositioned
- Assembly stations where large flat components are manually aligned before joining
- Feeding systems for packaging machinery requiring smooth 360-degree movement
- Processing tables for CNC routers or band saws where workpieces are reoriented
- Heavy-duty workbenches where flat loads are moved by hand across a fixed surface
Who It Is For
- Conveyor system integrators building high-load transfer points
- Material handling equipment builders designing flat deck transfer zones
- Industrial distributors stocking ball transfer units by load rating
- Assembly line builders needing manual repositioning of large flat parts
- Equipment makers for processing machinery requiring omnidirectional movement
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 trays or components that require 360-degree rotation
- Lack of consistent load capacity across multiple suppliers in a single system
- Need for a single component that handles both transport and alignment in one unit
Technical Features
- 60 mm diameter main ball for high load capacity and stability under heavy static load
- Press mount design allows direct insertion into a prepared deck hole
- Fine machined ball seat ensures consistent rolling effort across the full load range
- Main ball supplied in steel, stainless steel or nylon to match surface protection needs
- Case supplied in steel, galvanized steel, chrome plated steel or stainless steel for durability
Materials
- Carbon steel ball and case for general industrial use
- SUS304 stainless steel ball and case for wet or corrosive environments
- Nylon ball for non-marking contact with painted or polished surfaces
- Galvanized steel case for improved corrosion resistance in moderate environments
- Chrome plated steel case for wear resistance and a smooth finish
Quality Control
- Load capacity tested against the 800 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
- Press fit depth verified to ensure secure installation in deck plate
- Dimensional check of ball diameter and case outer diameter
Customization Options
- Ball material selected between steel, stainless steel and nylon
- Case material selected between steel, galvanized, chrome plated and stainless steel
- Other SP Series load ratings available where 800 kg is not the right size
- Custom mounting hole size available upon request for specific deck thickness
Use Guide
- Divide the total load by the number of units in contact to ensure no unit exceeds 800 kg working load
- Keep peak and impact loading below the 1200 kg maximum load figure
- Press the unit into a deck plate with a hole sized to match the 100 mm mounting diameter
- Choose nylon ball where the load surface must not be marked
- Choose stainless steel ball and case where the deck is exposed to moisture or washdown

Compared With Other Options
| Flange mount ball transfer units | Press mount installs faster and requires no bolts, but is harder to remove for service |
|---|---|
| Lower rated SP Series units | The SP-60 suits 800 kg loads, so lighter applications are better served by a smaller unit with lower rolling resistance |
| Plain conveyor rollers | Ball transfer units allow movement in any direction, while rollers only move product along one axis |
