press mount pressed ball transfer unit CY-12T
The CY-12T is a press mount pressed ball transfer unit with a 12 mm diameter ball, rated for 5 kg working load and 7 kg maximum load. It is designed to be pressed into a hole in a flat deck plate so that a light tray, panel or container can be moved and rotated in any direction by hand. The unit weighs 35 g and is available with a steel, stainless steel or nylon ball in a steel or galvanized, chrome plated, or stainless steel case.
Product Overview
The CY-12T is a press mount pressed ball transfer unit with a 12 mm diameter ball, rated for 5 kg working load and 7 kg maximum load. It is designed to be pressed into a hole in a flat deck plate so that a light tray, panel or container can be moved and rotated in any direction by hand. The unit weighs 35 g and is available with a steel, stainless steel or nylon ball in a steel or galvanized, chrome plated, or stainless steel case.
Part of the CY Series range, used in Sheet Metal and Press Shops.
Key Benefits
- Carries 5 kg per unit in normal service and 7 kg at peak load
- Press mount fits into a pre-drilled hole for fast installation without bolts
- 12 mm diameter ball allows smooth movement of small flat items
- Steel, stainless steel or nylon ball options suit different surface contact needs
- Steel, galvanized, chrome plated or stainless steel case options for different environments
Application Scenarios
- Transfer points on a flat deck where light trays or panels are rotated by hand
- Feeding systems in packaging or processing machinery where small items need omnidirectional movement
- Workbenches with curved sections where a tray must follow a contour
- Assembly line stations where a small component is repositioned between operations
- Conveyor integration points where a light load changes direction without powered diverters
Who It Is For
- Conveyor system integrators building low-load transfer points
- Material handling equipment builders designing light-duty worktables
- Packaging machinery manufacturers needing small omnidirectional movement
- Industrial distributors stocking ball transfer units by load and size
- Production line builders requiring simple, low-cost transfer solutions
Problems It Solves
- Light loads that stick or drag when pushed across a flat deck plate
- Transfer points where small items must change direction without powered components
- Workbenches with curved sections that require smooth, continuous movement
- Systems where bolted mounting is not practical due to space or deck thickness
- Applications where a low-profile, compact transfer unit is needed
Technical Features
- Press mount design fits into a pre-drilled hole without bolts
- 12 mm diameter ball provides consistent contact for small flat items
- Ball and case materials selected independently to match surface and environment
- Compact 20 x 17 mm dimensions fit into tight deck spaces
- Weight of 35 g for deck load and shipping calculations
Materials
- Steel ball for general use with flat, hard surfaces
- Stainless steel ball for wet or corrosive environments
- Nylon ball to protect painted or polished surfaces from marking
- Steel case for standard industrial use
- Galvanized or chrome plated case for improved corrosion resistance
Quality Control
- Load capacity verified against the 5 kg rating before packing
- Ball rotation checked by hand for free movement in all directions
- Material grade confirmed against the ball and case option ordered
Customization Options
- Ball material selected between steel, stainless steel and nylon
- Case material selected between steel, galvanized, chrome plated and stainless steel
- Other CY Series models available for different load or size requirements
Use Guide
- Ensure the deck plate hole is sized to match the press fit dimensions for secure installation
- Divide the load by the number of units in contact to stay within the 5 kg per unit rating
- Keep peak and impact loading below the 7 kg maximum load figure
- Use nylon ball where the load surface must not be marked
- Use stainless steel ball and case where the deck is exposed to moisture or cleaning

Compared With Other Options
| Flange mount ball transfer units | Press mount installs faster with no bolts but is harder to remove or replace after installation |
|---|---|
| Higher rated CY Series units | The CY-12T suits 5 kg loads, so heavier applications require a larger model with higher capacity |
| Bolted mounting units | Press mount requires no through holes or fasteners, saving deck space and installation time |
