Product Description
1700 - 15 Alwayse
TYPE 15 - Stainless Steel Bearings and Pressings
This is a simple and inexpensive range of ball transfer units which have a large ball exposure. They are ideal for lighter duties and where there is a cost consideration.
All units are fitted with a seal which simply and effectively removes debris by an internal plastic scraper.
The direction of rotation slightly moves the ball against the seal providing a highly effective cleaning action.
For normal applications steel bearings with zinc plated pressings and components are recommended. However, when used as a castor or in wet conditions stainless steel (Type 15) is recommended.
Alwayse Engineering Limited was established in Birmingham, United Kingdom in 1939 when a small engineering company, Sheridan Tools, was purchased. Later its name was changed to “Alwayse” meaning that the units are multidirectional and move in all directions or ways -hence “Alwayse”. The distinctive spelling adds to the company’s individuality. As the originator of the Ball Transfer Unit over 70 years ago, Alwayse has become an essential part of the material handling industry. Alwayse Ball Units manufactured from high-quality materials in the Birmingham factory are used in all sectors throughout the World and over 2,000,000 are sold every year.
