The KSF-22 is a spring loaded press mount ball transfer unit with a steel main ball, rated for 70 kg working load and 80 kg maximum load. It is pressed into a hole in a deck plate so that a medium weight carton, pallet or sheet can be pushed 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-22 is a spring loaded press mount ball transfer unit with a steel main ball, rated for 70 kg working load and 80 kg maximum load. It is pressed into a hole in a deck plate so that a medium weight carton, pallet or sheet can be pushed 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 Ball Transfer Unit range, used in Sheet Metal and Press Shops.
Key Benefits
- Carries 70 kg per unit in normal service and 80 kg at peak load
- Spring loaded design maintains ball contact under load and reduces wear
- Press mount installs quickly into a pre-drilled hole without bolts
- Steel case with galvanized, chrome plated or stainless steel options for different environments
- Low weight of 350 g reduces deck load and shipping costs
Application Scenarios
- Transfer points between two conveyor lines where medium weight loads change direction
- Assembly line stations where a component is rotated by hand between operations
- Pallet loading tables where a 70 kg load must be repositioned easily
- Sheet metal handling decks where a medium weight blank is turned for processing
- Warehouse staging areas where a carton is manually reoriented before scanning
Who It Is For
- Conveyor system integrators building medium load transfer points
- Material handling equipment builders designing rotating decks
- Assembly line builders needing hand-rotatable workstations
- Industrial distributors stocking ball transfer units by load rating
- Warehouse automation contractors installing manual repositioning zones
Problems It Solves
- Medium 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 load by hand due to high friction
- Decks where a single unit must handle both static and dynamic loads
- Need for a quick install solution without drilling for mounting bolts
Technical Features
- Spring loaded mechanism keeps the main ball in contact with the deck under load
- Press mount design fits into a drilled hole and is secured by interference fit
- Steel main ball provides durability and consistent rolling performance
- Case available in steel, galvanized steel, chrome plated steel or stainless steel
- Unit weight of 350 g for deck load and shipping calculations
Materials
- Steel ball for general industrial use with high wear resistance
- Galvanized steel case for improved corrosion resistance in humid environments
- Chrome plated steel case for a smoother surface and better appearance
- Stainless steel case for wet, washdown or corrosive areas
Quality Control
- Load capacity verified against the 70 kg rating before packing
- Spring tension checked to ensure consistent ball contact
- Material grade confirmed against the case option ordered
- Visual inspection for surface defects on the case and ball
Customization Options
- Case material selected between steel, galvanized steel, chrome plated steel and stainless steel
- Other K Series load ratings available where 70 kg is not the right size
- Spring tension can be adjusted for different load profiles upon request
Use Guide
- Divide the load by the number of units in contact to ensure no more than 70 kg per unit
- Keep peak and impact loading below the 80 kg maximum load figure
- Press the unit into a hole drilled to the correct diameter for a secure fit
- Choose galvanized or chrome plated case for humid or outdoor areas
- Choose stainless steel case for washdown or food handling environments

Compared With Other Options
| Flange mount ball transfer units | Press mount installs faster without bolts but is harder to remove for service |
|---|---|
| Lower rated K Series units | The KSF-22 suits 70 kg loads, so lighter decks are better served by a smaller unit that rolls with less effort |
| Spring loaded press mount with nylon ball | Steel ball offers higher durability and load capacity, while nylon is used for surface protection |
