- Processing machinery auxiliary tables where small parts need to be repositioned
- Curved work surfaces on band saws or router tables requiring 360-degree movement
Who It Is For
- Conveyor builders integrating low-load transfer points into a line
- Industrial equipment makers building workbenches with movable decks
- Packaging machinery manufacturers needing small directional transfer units
- Material handling system integrators sourcing consistent small ball transfer units
- Industrial distributors stocking ball transfer units by load rating 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 reposition small but stiff panels by hand
- Mixed-use decks where a single unit must handle both light and moderately heavy items
- Need for a compact, low-weight transfer unit that fits into tight deck space
Technical Features
- Fine machined ball and seat rather than a pressed or stamped housing
- Stud mount with M6 diameter for secure attachment to the deck plate
- Main ball supplied in nylon, steel or stainless steel to suit the load surface
- Case supplied in steel or stainless steel for dry or wet environments
- Unit weight of 60 g for deck load and shipping calculations
Materials
- Nylon main ball for non marking contact with painted or polished surfaces
- Carbon steel ball and case for general industrial decks
- Stainless steel ball and case for wet, washdown or corrosive areas
Quality Control
- Load capacity checked against the 15 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 nylon, steel and stainless steel
- Case material selected between steel and stainless steel

Use Guide
- Divide the load by the number of units in contact to check the 15 kg per unit rating
- Keep peak and impact loading below the 20 kg maximum load figure
- Mount units on a flat deck plate so all balls sit at the same height
- Choose the nylon ball where the load surface must not be marked
- Choose stainless steel ball and case where the deck is washed down

Compared With Other Options
| Flange mount ball transfer units | Stud mount fits into a clearance hole and is secured with a nut, while a flange mount bolts from above and requires a larger deck opening |
|---|---|
| Lower rated D Series units | The D-5H suits 15 kg loads, so lighter applications 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 |
