Key Benefits
- Carries 40 kg per unit in normal service and 60 kg at peak load
- Spring loaded design maintains ball contact under load and reduces wear
- Press mount fits into a pre-drilled hole so no bolts or flanges are needed
- 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 running at right angles
- Loading tables where trays are rotated by hand before entering a machine
- Assembly stations where a component is turned between operations
- Feeding systems for packaging machinery requiring smooth directional change
- Processing tables where light panels are repositioned without powered guidance
Who It Is For
- Conveyor system integrators building low load transfer points
- Material handling equipment builders designing light-duty transfer decks
- Assembly line builders needing manual rotation of light components
- Industrial distributors stocking ball transfer units by load rating
- Packaging machinery makers requiring directional flexibility in feed zones
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 light tray or panel by hand at the end of a line
- Decks where a single unit must handle both light and slightly heavier items
- Systems where bolted mounts are not practical due to deck thickness or access
Technical Features
- Spring loaded mechanism keeps the ball in contact under load
- Press mount design fits into a clearance hole without bolts or flanges
- 19.05 mm diameter steel ball allows smooth omnidirectional movement
- Case available in carbon steel, galvanized steel, chrome plated steel or stainless steel
- Unit weight of 450 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
- Ball rotation checked by hand for free movement in all directions
- Material grade confirmed against the case option ordered
Customization Options
- Case material selected between carbon steel, galvanized steel, chrome plated steel and stainless steel
- Ball material is steel, as specified
- Other KSF Series load ratings available where 40 kg is not the right size
Use Guide
- Divide the load by the number of units in contact to check the 40 kg per unit rating
- Keep peak and impact loading below the 60 kg maximum load figure
- Press the unit into a flat deck plate with a 36.5 mm diameter hole
- Choose stainless steel case where the deck is washed down or exposed to moisture
- Avoid using on uneven or soft-bottomed items such as cloth-wrapped loads

Compared With Other Options
| Flange mount ball transfer units | Press mount requires no bolts or flanges, so faster to install but harder to remove for service |
|---|---|
| Lower rated KSF Series units | The KSF-19T suits 40 kg loads, so lighter decks are better served by a smaller unit that rolls with less effort |
| Plain conveyor rollers | Ball transfer units allow movement in any direction, while rollers only move product along one axis |
