Spring Loaded Press Mount Ball Transfer Unit KSF-19H
The KSF-19H is a spring loaded press mount ball transfer unit with a 19.05 mm diameter steel ball, rated for 50 kg working load and 70 kg maximum load. It is designed to be pressed into a 36 mm diameter hole in a deck plate, allowing flat, smooth objects like trays to be moved and rotated in any direction by hand. The unit weighs 350 g and is available with a steel, galvanized steel, chrome plated steel or stainless steel case.
Product Overview
The KSF-19H is a spring loaded press mount ball transfer unit with a 19.05 mm diameter steel ball, rated for 50 kg working load and 70 kg maximum load. It is designed to be pressed into a 36 mm diameter hole in a deck plate, allowing flat, smooth objects like trays to be moved and rotated in any direction by hand. The unit weighs 350 g and is available with a steel, galvanized steel, chrome plated steel or stainless steel case.
Part of the KS KSM Series range, used in Warehouse and Distribution Centres.
Key Benefits
- Carries 50 kg per unit in normal service and 70 kg at peak load
- Spring loaded design maintains consistent ball contact under load and compensates for minor deck surface variations
- Press mount fits into a 36 mm hole so no flange or bolts are needed
- Steel ball and case options suit general industrial environments
- Stainless steel case option for wet or corrosive areas
Application Scenarios
- Transfer points on a flat deck where trays or flat panels are repositioned by hand
- Feeding systems on packaging or processing machinery where product alignment is needed
- Curved work areas on router tables or band saws requiring 360 degree movement
- Assembly line stations where a fixture must be rotated without powered assistance
- Conveyor end points where a flat load needs to be turned before entering the next line
Who It Is For
- Conveyor system integrators building low load transfer points
- Material handling equipment builders designing manual repositioning stations
- Packaging and processing machinery manufacturers needing omni-directional movement
- Industrial distributors stocking ball transfer units by load and mounting type
- Production line builders requiring simple, low maintenance transfer points
Problems It Solves
- Flat loads that jam or drag when pushed across a fixed deck plate
- Transfer points where product must change direction without powered diverters
- Decks with slight warping or unevenness that cause ball transfer units to bind
- Need for a compact, low-profile transfer unit that does not require bolt holes
- Manual repositioning tasks where a powered solution is not cost effective
Technical Features
- Spring loaded mechanism maintains ball contact under load
- 19.05 mm diameter steel ball for consistent rolling performance
- Press fit into a 36 mm diameter hole with no bolts or flange required
- Housing made from carbon steel, galvanized steel, chrome plated steel or stainless steel
- Unit weight of 350 g for deck load and shipping calculations
Materials
- Carbon steel ball and case for general industrial use
- Galvanized steel case for improved corrosion resistance in moderate environments
- Chrome plated steel case for a smoother surface and better wear resistance
- Stainless steel case (SUS304) for wet, washdown or corrosive areas
Quality Control
- Load capacity verified against the 50 kg rating before packing
- Ball rotation checked by hand for free movement in all directions
- Material grade confirmed against the case option ordered
- Spring tension checked to ensure consistent ball contact under load
Customization Options
- Case material selected between carbon steel, galvanized steel, chrome plated steel and stainless steel
- Ball material is steel, not available in nylon or stainless steel
- Other KSF Series load ratings available where 50 kg is not the right size
Use Guide
- Ensure the deck plate has a 36 mm diameter hole for press fit installation
- Divide the total load by the number of units in contact to stay within the 50 kg per unit rating
- Keep peak and impact loading below the 70 kg maximum load figure
- Use the stainless steel case where the deck is exposed to moisture or cleaning agents
- Do not use on uneven or soft bottom surfaces such as cloth-wrapped items

Load check and final inspection before packing
Compared With Other Options
| Flange mount ball transfer units | Press mount requires no bolts or flange, so installation is faster but harder to remove for service |
|---|---|
| Lower rated KSF Series units | The KSF-19H suits 50 kg loads, so lighter applications are better served by a smaller unit with less rolling resistance |
| Spring loaded press mount units with nylon balls | The KSF-19H uses a steel ball, so it is not suitable for surfaces that must not be marked |
Spring Loaded Press Mount Ball Transfer Unit KSF-19H Questions
What load can one KSF-19H ball transfer unit carry?
The rated load capacity is 50 kg per unit and the maximum load capacity is 70 kg.
How is the KSF-19H mounted?
It is a press mount unit, so it is pressed into a 36 mm diameter hole in the deck plate.
Which case material should I choose?
Carbon steel for general use, galvanized steel for better corrosion resistance, chrome plated steel for wear resistance, and stainless steel (SUS304) for wet or corrosive environments.
Is a stainless steel version available?
Yes, the case can be supplied in stainless steel (SUS304).
How much does the unit weigh?
Each KSF-19H weighs 350 g, which is used for deck load and shipping calculations.
Can I get other load ratings in the same series?
Yes, the KSF Series includes other load ratings, so ask for the model that matches your load per unit.
