Shock-Absorbing Press-Fit Ball Transfers

The ball in these transfers is spring-loaded to absorb impact. Drop-in design makes for easy installation.
Steel balls are durable. Stainless steel balls offer the most corrosion resistance. They also don’t need to be lubricated.
Flange-Mount Ball Transfers


Steel balls are durable. Stainless steel balls offer the most corrosion resistance. They don’t need to be lubricated. Nylon balls are nonmarking.
Ball transfers with an angled working orientation can be used to form support stands.
Capacity is given for the ball up orientation. Using these ball transfers in a ball down or angled orientation could reduce the capacity stated.
