Value Collection 41161 Ball Transfer Round Base Chrome Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 41161 is a chrome steel ball transfer unit designed for material handling applications where smooth, multidirectional load movement is required. The unit features a 1-3/4 inch overall diameter with a round base configuration and a mount height of 1-3/4 inches. The ball is constructed from chrome steel for durability and corrosion resistance, while the housing carries a black oxide finish. It mounts via a 1/2-20 threaded stud with a 1 inch thread length, making installation straightforward in compatible mounting surfaces. This type of unit is installed by maintenance technicians, industrial equipment assemblers, and conveyor system integrators.

Ball transfer units like the 41161 are commonly used in assembly line conveyor tables, packaging equipment, light-duty sorting systems, and material staging platforms. The round base and threaded stud mount allow integration into both custom fabricated tables and standard conveyor frames. This unit is suited for applications that require free-rolling, omnidirectional movement of bins, trays, boxes, or workpieces across a flat working surface in light to medium industrial environments.

Key Features

• Chrome steel ball construction for smooth rolling and wear resistance
• Black oxide housing finish for corrosion resistance in industrial environments
• Round base with 1-3/4 inch overall diameter for compact footprint
• 1/2-20 threaded stud mount with 1 inch thread length for secure installation
• 1-3/4 inch mount height for consistent surface clearance across conveyor arrays
• Weighs 0.95 pounds for manageable handling during installation

Compatibility

Designed as a standard threaded-mount ball transfer unit suitable for conveyor tables, assembly fixtures, and material handling equipment that accept a 1/2-20 threaded stud with a 1 inch thread length.

Installation Notes

Ball transfer units are installed by maintenance technicians or equipment assemblers using standard hand tools. Before installation, ensure the mounting surface is powered down and de-energized if integrated into a motorized conveyor system. Thread the stud into a properly tapped hole to the full thread length and secure with an appropriate locknut to prevent backing out under load. Do not overtighten, as this can distort the housing and restrict ball movement.
