Press Mount Pressed Ball Transfer Unit CY-15T
The CY-15T is a press mount pressed ball transfer unit with a 15 mm diameter ball, rated for 8 kg working load and 11 kg maximum load. It is designed to be pressed into a hole in a deck plate so that flat, smooth objects like trays can be moved in any direction by hand. The unit weighs 35 g and is available with a steel, stainless steel or nylon ball in a steel, galvanized, chrome plated or stainless steel case.
Product Overview
The CY-15T is a press mount pressed ball transfer unit with a 15 mm diameter ball, rated for 8 kg working load and 11 kg maximum load. It is designed to be pressed into a hole in a deck plate so that flat, smooth objects like trays can be moved in any direction by hand. The unit weighs 35 g and is available with a steel, stainless steel or nylon ball in a steel, galvanized, chrome plated or stainless steel case.
Part of the CY Series range, used in Sheet Metal and Press Shops.
Key Benefits
- Carries 8 kg per unit in normal service and 11 kg at peak load
- Press mount fits into a pre-drilled hole for quick installation without bolts
- 15 mm diameter ball allows smooth movement of flat, rigid items
- Steel, stainless steel or nylon ball options suit different surface protection needs
- Steel, galvanized, chrome plated or stainless steel case options for different environment conditions
Application Scenarios
- Transfer points on a flat deck where trays or rigid panels need to be repositioned by hand
- Assembly line stations where a component must be rotated or shifted between operations
- Feeding systems in packaging machinery where flat items move between stations
- Processing tables where a flat workpiece is manually aligned before machining
- Conveyor transition zones where product changes direction without powered diverters
Who It Is For
- Conveyor system integrators building manual transfer points into a line
- Material handling equipment builders designing flat deck transfer zones
- Industrial distributors stocking ball transfer units by load and mount type
- Assembly line builders needing low-friction movement for rigid components
Problems It Solves
- Manual repositioning of flat items that stick or drag on a fixed deck surface
- Transfer points where product must change direction without powered mechanisms
- Need for a low-cost, simple mounting method without additional fasteners
- Requirement for consistent ball transfer performance across multiple units on a deck
- Need to avoid marking or damaging the surface of sensitive components
Technical Features
- 15 mm diameter ball for smooth movement of flat, rigid objects
- Press mount design fits into a drilled hole without bolts or flanges
- Ball material selected from steel, stainless steel or nylon to match surface needs
- Case material selected from steel, galvanized, chrome plated or stainless steel
- Unit weight of 35 g for deck load and shipping calculations
Materials
- Steel ball for general industrial use with high wear resistance
- Stainless steel ball for wet or corrosive environments
- Nylon ball to protect painted or polished surfaces from marking
- Steel case for standard dry environments
- Galvanized or chrome plated case for improved corrosion resistance
Quality Control
- Load capacity verified against the 8 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 load ratings available where 8 kg is not the right size
Use Guide
- Ensure the deck plate hole is sized to match the press fit tolerance for secure installation
- Divide the total load by the number of units in contact to ensure no unit exceeds 8 kg working load
- Keep peak and impact loading below the 11 kg maximum load figure
- 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 with no bolts, but flange mount allows easier removal and replacement |
|---|---|
| Lower rated CY Series units | The CY-15T suits 8 kg loads, so lighter decks are better served by a smaller unit that rolls with less effort |
| Swivel casters | Press mount units are for flat deck use only and cannot be used to move on the floor like casters |
