Application Scenarios
- Transfer points on a flat worktable where trays or components need to be repositioned by hand
- Assembly line stations where a fixture must be rotated between operations
- Feeding systems where flat parts are moved and aligned on a workbench
- Packaging machinery where a tray is turned or shifted between processes
- Processing machinery with curved work surfaces requiring 360-degree movement
Who It Is For
- Conveyor system integrators building transfer points with manual repositioning
- Industrial equipment builders integrating ball transfer units into workbenches
- Assembly line designers needing manual rotation of fixtures or parts
- Material handling equipment makers building modular workstations
- Industrial distributors stocking ball transfer units by load and mounting type
Problems It Solves
- Loads that jam or drag when pushed across a fixed deck due to lack of omnidirectional movement
- Workstations where product must be repositioned but no powered diverter is available
- Operators struggling to rotate a heavy or large flat component by hand
- Mounting systems that allow rotation or misalignment due to loose fit or round housing
- Surface damage from steel balls on painted or polished worktables
Technical Features

- Stud mount with M12 diameter provides a secure, fixed attachment point
- Hexagonal housing prevents rotation and ensures alignment with the mounting hole
- Ball and case materials selected independently for load and environment
- Unit weight of 210 g for deck load and shipping calculations
Materials
- Nylon ball for non-marking contact with painted or polished surfaces
- Carbon steel ball and case for general industrial use
- Stainless steel ball and case (SUS304) for wet, washdown or corrosive environments
Quality Control
- Load capacity verified against the 60 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
