Part of the KS KSM Series range, used in Warehouse and Distribution Centres.
Key Benefits
- Carries 40 kg per unit in normal service and 60 kg at peak load
- Spring loaded design maintains ball contact under light and variable loads
- Press mount fits into a pre-drilled hole in the deck plate for quick installation
- Steel ball and case options suit general industrial environments
- Stainless steel case option for wet or corrosive areas
Application Scenarios
- Transfer points between two conveyor lines where light trays need to be reoriented
- Assembly stations where a flat component is rotated by hand between operations
- Packaging lines where trays are moved and aligned on a flat deck
- Feeding systems for processing machinery requiring smooth, omnidirectional movement
- Workbenches with curved surfaces where a tray must follow a contour
Who It Is For
- Conveyor builders integrating low load transfer points into a line
- Industrial equipment makers building worktables and feeding systems
- Packaging machinery suppliers needing small transfer units for tray handling
- Manufacturers of processing machinery requiring smooth load rotation
- Industrial distributors stocking ball transfer units by load and mount type
Problems It Solves
- Light loads that stick or drag when pushed across a fixed deck plate
- Transfer points where product must change direction without powered diverters
- Operators struggling to rotate a tray or flat part by hand at a work station
- Need for a compact, low-profile unit that fits into a standard deck hole
- Requirement for a unit that maintains ball contact under variable or light loads
Technical Features
- Spring loaded mechanism keeps the ball in contact with the load under light or uneven pressure
- Press mount design allows the unit to be pressed into a deck plate without bolting
- 19.05 mm diameter steel ball provides consistent rolling motion for flat items
- Case available in carbon steel, galvanized steel, chrome plated steel, or stainless steel
- Unit weight of 430 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 humid areas
- Chrome plated steel case for wear resistance and appearance
- Stainless steel case (SUS304) for wet, washdown or corrosive environments
Quality Control
- Load capacity verified against the 40 kg rating before packing
- Spring function checked by hand to ensure consistent ball contact
- Material grade confirmed against the case option ordered
Customization Options
- Case material selected between carbon steel, galvanized steel, chrome plated steel, and stainless steel
- Other KSF series models available for different load ratings
- Ball material is fixed as steel; no nylon option available
Use Guide
- Divide the load by the number of units in contact to ensure no more than 40 kg per unit
- Keep peak and impact loading below the 60 kg maximum load figure
- Press the unit into a flat, clean deck plate hole to ensure full contact
- Use stainless steel case where the deck is exposed to water or cleaning agents
- Do not use on uneven or soft-bottomed items such as cloth-wrapped goods

Compared With Other Options
| Flange mount ball transfer units | Press mount requires no bolts and fits into a hole, while flange mount needs a flange and mounting holes |
|---|---|
| Higher load rated units | The KSF-19N suits 40 kg loads, so heavier applications require a larger unit with higher capacity |
| Spring loaded units with different ball sizes | This unit has a 19.05 mm ball, so other sizes are needed for different tray or component dimensions |
