Key Benefits
- Carries 40 kg per unit in normal service and 50 kg at peak load
- Stud mount with M8 thread allows secure attachment to workbenches and deck plates
- Fine machined ball and seat reduce rolling resistance under load
- Nylon ball option protects painted or polished surfaces from marking
- Stainless steel ball and case option for wet or washdown environments
Application Scenarios
- Transfer points on a packaging line where trays are rotated or repositioned by hand
- Feeding systems in processing machinery where flat components need omnidirectional movement
- Assembly stations where a fixture is turned or aligned between operations
- Workbenches on a production line where tools or parts are moved across the surface
- Curved work areas on router tables or band saws requiring smooth directional transfer
Who It Is For
- Conveyor system integrators building transfer points into automated lines
- Industrial equipment builders integrating ball transfer units into workbenches
- Packaging machinery manufacturers needing reliable transfer points for trays
- Production line builders requiring low-friction movement for flat components
- Industrial distributors stocking ball transfer units by load and mounting type
Problems It Solves
- Flat items 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 or align a load by hand at a workbench
- Mixed-use workbenches where a single unit must handle both light and heavy items
- Workbenches in washdown areas requiring corrosion-resistant components
Technical Features
- Fine machined ball and seat for consistent rolling under load
- Stud mount with M8 thread for secure attachment to workbench or deck plate
- 19.05 mm diameter ball allows smooth movement of flat, smooth objects
- Ball and case materials selected independently to match environment and surface
- Unit weight of 150 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 use
- Stainless steel ball and case 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 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

Compared With Other Options
| Flange mount ball transfer units | Stud mount bolts from below and is easier to install on a workbench, while flange mount requires a deck plate with a clearance hole |
|---|---|
| Lower rated D Series units | The D-6HT suits 40 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 |
