Ball Transfer Plates

These plates are designed to rest on a flat surface and are good for rotating and positioning heavy workpieces.

Note: The length and width of the material you're moving should be at least three times the ball spacing.

Ball Transfer Conveyors

Use these ball transfer conveyors alone or add them to High-Capacity Roller Conveyors to rotate and position material along a conveying line.

Note: Weight capacities are based on an evenly distributed load with a stand at each end. The length and width of the material you're conveying should be at least three times the ball spacing.

Create-Your-Own Ball Transfer Plates

Snap these ball transfers together like jigsaw pieces to create a custom ball transfer plate, or use them unconnected to create your own pattern for rotating and positioning material. They have magnets embedded in the frame, so you can mount them on any flat magnetic metal surface and rearrange them as your operations change.

Multidirectional Flow Rails

Rotate materials in any direction on these flow rails. Use them to convey packages and pallets in flow racks, assembly areas, and confined spaces.

Note: Capacities are based on a fully supported rail.

Threaded-Stud Mount Ball Transfer	Flange Mount Ball Transfer

Ball transfers rotate to accommodate changes in direction.

Threaded-Stud Mount Ball Transfer—Threaded-stud-mount ball transfers are attached to the rail with a stud and nut.

Flange Mount Ball Transfer—Flange mount ball transfers are riveted in place.

Legal-for-Trade Inline Conveyor Scales

Weigh boxes as they flow through your conveyor line to reduce bending and lifting. These scales integrate seamlessly into your line thanks to their conveyor rollers or ball transfers, which move boxes along after weighing. A check-weighing mode flags boxes that are outside a specified weight range. And a weight accumulation mode keeps a running weight of all boxes measured. These scales are National Type Evaluation Program (NTEP) approved for use with legal-for-trade materials sold by weight.

Mount the display in front of the scale, on a nearby wall, or use the included stand to mount it above the scale. 1" digits are easy to read from a distance. These scales are rated IP65 for protection from dust and low-pressure washdowns. They plug into a standard outlet or run on the rechargeable battery for up to 72 hours. Transmit data to your PC by connecting the scale with an RS-232 computer cord (not included).

Accessories for Scales

Carts

For temporary jobs, set your scale on a cart (sold separately), then roll it up to your conveyor or workbench. Two of the casters are lockable, so the cart stays in place during longer jobs or when used in a conveyor line.
