Global Industrial 298715 Stud Mount Ball Transfer Unit

Product Description

The GLOBAL INDUSTRIAL 298715 is a stud mount ball transfer unit designed for use in ball transfer conveyor table systems. The assembly features a 1-inch diameter steel ball seated inside a 1-6/7-inch diameter pressed steel housing. Overall height is 2-9/25 inches, with a 7/8-inch long, 1/4-20 threaded stud for secure mounting. Tested load capacity is 150 pounds per ball. A locking nut is included to hold the unit firmly in position once installed. This unit is suited for facilities techs, maintenance crews, and conveyor system installers working on light-to-medium-duty material handling lines.

This ball transfer unit is intended for installation in ball transfer conveyor tables used in warehouse, distribution, manufacturing, and light industrial environments. It is typically used as a replacement unit or as part of a new table build where omnidirectional movement of boxes, totes, or flat-bottomed loads is required. The stud mount design allows for straightforward installation into pre-drilled table decks or frames. Each unit is sold individually.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or add-on component for ball transfer conveyor tables using 1/4-20 stud mount ball transfer units with a 1-inch ball diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by maintenance technicians or conveyor system installers. Before servicing or replacing ball transfer units on an active conveyor line, ensure the line is de-energized and all loads are cleared from the table surface. A standard wrench is used to tighten the locking nut against the table deck. Do not overtighten, as this may deform the pressed steel housing or affect ball rotation.
