Key Benefits
- Carries 250 kg per unit in normal service and 300 kg at peak load
- Stud mount screws into the deck plate, allowing secure attachment and easy removal for maintenance
- Fine machined ball seat maintains low rolling effort under heavy static load
- Stainless steel ball and case option for wet, washdown or corrosive environments
- Nylon ball option protects painted or polished surfaces from marking
Application Scenarios
- Transfer points between two conveyor lines running at right angles where trays must be rotated
- Loading tables feeding a press brake, laser cutter or assembly station where a heavy flat part is repositioned
- Assembly line stations where a fixture is turned by hand between operations
- Packaging lines where flat trays are moved and aligned in multiple directions
- Processing machinery where a flat component is fed and rotated on a workbench
Who It Is For
- Conveyor system integrators designing transfer and rotation points into a line
- Material handling equipment builders constructing workbenches and transfer tables
- Industrial distributors stocking ball transfer units by load rating and mounting type
- Assembly line and production line builders needing consistent, reliable transfer points
Problems It Solves
- Heavy loads that jam or bind when pushed across a fixed deck plate or plain rollers
- Transfer points where product must change direction without a powered diverter
- Operators struggling to rotate or align a load by hand at the end of a line
- Mixed-use decks where a single load rating must handle both light and heavy items
- Need for a reliable, serviceable mounting method that does not require press fitting
Technical Features
- Fine machined ball and seat rather than a pressed or stamped housing
- Stud mount with threaded hole for secure attachment to a 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 980 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 250 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 250 kg is not the right size
Use Guide
- Divide the load by the number of units in contact to check the 250 kg per unit rating
- Keep peak and impact loading below the 300 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 screws into the deck and allows easier removal for service, while a flange mount bolts from above and requires a larger clearance hole |
|---|---|
| Press mount ball transfer units | Stud mount provides a secure, removable attachment, while a press fit unit is faster to install but harder to replace |
| Lower rated D Series units | The D-12HA suits 250 kg loads, so lighter decks are better served by a smaller unit that rolls with less effort |
