Ceramic Balls
Size: 0.5mm-20mm
Grade: G3/G5/G10
Certificate:ISO9001, TS16949, ISO14001
Feature: spherical, rolling elements that provide higher stiffness, lower thermal expansion, lighter weight, increased corrosion resistance, and higher electrical resistance than steel balls
Applications for Ceramic Balls
The GlobalSpec SpecSearch database contains information about applications for ceramic balls, many of which are used as bearings. The following list provides some examples.
· Ceramic aerospace bearings are used in airframes as well as gyroscopes (gyros), navigation systems, flow meters, avionic instruments, and other aerospace parts.
· Agitator balls have suitable corrosion and density (weight) for agitation or mixing applications, such as the balls used in aerosol paint cans.
· Ceramic automotive bearings are used with seating tracks and seat slides, safety restraints and seatbelt locking mechanisms, airbags, constant velocity (CV) joints, double offset joints, tripod joints, cross groove joints, spindle bearings, and many other systems.
· Conveyors balls are used in conveyors, ball transfer units, roller table, casters, roller or lazy Susan applications.
· Spring loaded balls are used in quick disconnect couplings or snap on fasteners and fastening systems. Socket wrenches often use this type of fastening mechanism to hold onto the socket.
Ceramic balls are also used in float or level sensing, flow metering, gaging or alignment, valves, sprayers and pumps, and pollution or vapor control systems.
