Key Benefits
- Carries 40 kg per unit in normal service and 50 kg at peak load
- Stud mount with M8 diameter allows secure attachment to deck plates or workbenches
- Fine machined ball seat ensures low rolling resistance under static and dynamic load
- Nylon ball option protects painted or polished surfaces from marking
- Stainless steel ball and case option for use in wet, washdown or corrosive environments
Application Scenarios
- Transfer points in packaging lines where trays are rotated or repositioned by hand
- Feeding systems on processing machinery where flat components need omnidirectional movement
- Workbenches and router tables requiring smooth, low-friction load transfer
- Assembly stations where a fixture is turned by hand between operations
- Conveyor integration points where product changes direction without powered diverters
Who It Is For
- Conveyor system integrators building transfer and rotation points into material handling lines
- Industrial equipment builders designing workbenches and processing tables
- Packaging machinery manufacturers needing reliable ball transfer units for tray handling
- Material handling equipment makers integrating ball transfer units into feeding and alignment systems
- Industrial distributors stocking ball transfer units by load rating and mounting type
Problems It Solves
- Flat loads that jam or bind when pushed across a fixed deck plate or plain rollers
- Transfer points where product must change direction without powered diverters or complex mechanisms
- Operators struggling to rotate or align a load by hand at the end of a line
- Mixed-use decks where a single unit must handle both light and heavy flat items
- Workbenches requiring stable, low-friction movement of trays or components
Technical Features
- Fine machined ball and seat to maintain consistent rolling effort under load
- Stud mount with M8 diameter for secure attachment to deck plates or workbenches
- Main ball available in nylon, steel or stainless steel to match surface and environment
- Case available in steel or stainless steel for dry or wet environments
- 19.05 mm diameter ball provides stable load support for flat, smooth objects
Materials
- Nylon main ball for non-marking contact with painted or polished surfaces
- Carbon steel ball and case for general industrial use in dry environments
- Stainless steel ball and case for wet, washdown or corrosive areas
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 ball and case option ordered
Customization Options
- Ball material selected between nylon, steel and stainless steel
- Case material selected between steel and stainless steel
- Other D 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 ensure no more than 40 kg per unit
- Keep peak and impact loading below the 50 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 or exposed to moisture

Compared With Other Options
| Flange mount ball transfer units | Stud mount is faster to install on a deck plate but requires a tapped hole, while flange mount bolts from above and allows easier removal |
|---|---|
| Lower rated D Series units | The D-6H 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 |
Stud Mound Fine Machined Ball Transfer Unit D-6H Questions
What load can one D-6H ball transfer unit carry?
The rated load capacity is 40 kg per unit and the maximum load capacity is 50 kg.
How is the D-6H mounted?
It is a stud mount unit with an M8 diameter stud, so it is screwed into a tapped hole in the deck plate.
Which ball material should I choose?
Nylon for surfaces that must not be marked, carbon steel for general use and stainless steel for wet or washdown areas.
Is a stainless steel version available?
Yes, both the ball and the case can be supplied in stainless steel.
How much does the unit weigh?
Each D-6H weighs 130 g, which is used when calculating deck weight and shipping.
Can I get other load ratings in the same series?
Yes, the D Series covers other load ratings, so ask for the model that matches your load per unit.
