press mount pressed ball transfer unit CY-8H
The CY-8H is a press mount pressed ball transfer unit with an 8 mm diameter ball, rated for 3 kg working load and 5 kg maximum load. It is designed to be pressed into a hole in a deck plate so that small trays, panels or flat items can be moved and rotated in any direction by hand. The unit weighs 5 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-8H is a press mount pressed ball transfer unit with an 8 mm diameter ball, rated for 3 kg working load and 5 kg maximum load. It is designed to be pressed into a hole in a deck plate so that small trays, panels or flat items can be moved and rotated in any direction by hand. The unit weighs 5 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 3 kg per unit in normal service and 5 kg at peak load
- Press mount fits into a pre-drilled hole so the unit is fixed without bolts
- Small size allows dense mounting on compact decks for light load handling
- Nylon ball option protects painted or polished surfaces from marking
- Stainless steel or chrome plated case resists corrosion in humid or wet areas
Application Scenarios
- Transfer points on small assembly lines where light trays are rotated between stations
- Feeding systems for packaging machinery handling flat components
- Processing tables where small panels need to be repositioned by hand
- Conveyor transfer decks between short sections of belt or roller conveyor
- Workbenches with limited space where multiple units are mounted close together
Who It Is For
- Conveyor system integrators building light-duty transfer points
- Assembly line builders needing small, compact transfer units
- Industrial distributors stocking ball transfer units by load and size
- Material handling equipment makers designing compact handling decks
Problems It Solves
- Small loads that stick or drag when pushed across a fixed deck plate
- Transfer points where product must change direction without powered diverters
- Limited space on a workbench where bolted units would interfere with other components
- Need for a low-profile unit that does not protrude above the deck surface
- Risk of marking painted or polished surfaces with steel balls
Technical Features
- Pressed into a hole in the deck plate without bolts or flanges
- 8 mm diameter ball with fine fit in the case for smooth rotation
- Ball material selected between steel, stainless steel and nylon
- Case material available in steel, galvanized steel, chrome plated steel or stainless steel
- Unit weight of 5 g for deck load and shipping calculations
Materials
- Steel ball and case for general industrial use
- Stainless steel ball and case for wet or corrosive environments
- Chrome plated case for improved wear resistance and appearance
- Nylon ball for non-marking contact with painted or polished surfaces
- Galvanized case for moderate corrosion resistance in damp areas
Quality Control
- Load capacity verified against the 3 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 ratings and sizes
Use Guide
- Ensure the deck hole is sized to the 13 mm mount diameter for a secure press fit
- Divide the total load by the number of units in contact to stay under the 3 kg per unit rating
- Keep peak and impact loading below the 5 kg maximum load figure
- Use nylon ball where the load surface must not be marked
- Choose stainless steel or chrome plated case for environments with moisture or frequent cleaning

Compared With Other Options
| Flange mount ball transfer units | Press mount requires no bolts and fits flush, but is harder to remove and replace than a flange mounted unit |
|---|---|
| Higher rated CY Series units | The CY-8H suits 3 kg loads, so heavier items require a larger model with higher capacity |
| Swivel casters | Press mount units are fixed to a deck and do not roll on the floor, unlike casters used for mobile equipment |
