Stud-Mount Ball Transfers


Install these ball transfers in a threaded hole or use a nut to secure.
Stainless steel balls offer the most corrosion resistance. 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.

Washdown Stud-Mount Ball Transfers

A double-sealed ball keeps out dirt and debris, and side vents expel contaminants. With a ball that’s stainless steel, these ball transfers resist corrosion. They also don’t need to be lubricated. They can be used at an angle, so you can use them to build 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.
