Enhanced mini units facilitate smooth product handling

Through a long-term commitment to research and development several key enhancements have been brought to the products, including reduced friction, increased longevity and greater capability in all orientations. For some units, such as the 11MI-06-17, the load capacity has also been increased by 50% from 10kg to 15kg.

Chris Branch, Head of Research and Development at Alwayse Engineering said: “This series of enhancements to our wide range of Mini Ball Transfer Units demonstrates our commitment as market leader to continuously develop and improve our products. We have 75 years of experience designing and manufacturing ball transfer units which gives us a unique advantage in the marketplace.”

Used throughout industries as diverse as oil and gas, medical imaging, automotive and special FX for the film industry, Alwayse Mini Units allow engineers and designers the ability to move parts, materials and equipment easily, precisely and in any direction instantly.

Available in some 17 different configurations, with load capacities of up to 70kg and body diameters ranging from 8mm to 28mm, the units are fitted with threaded stems to enable precise location within applications.
