Product Name Notes
Brass Ball Profile These balls are used in electrical devices, petrochemical industry operations, and consumer products such as appliances. Small-diameter balls are often used in valves. Electrical conductivity makes brass...
Characteristics of Borosilicate Precision Glass Balls Borosilicate glass balls withstand high thermal shock; can mechanically give continual service at 450°F with extreme temperature limit at 900°F; very high electrical resistivity...
Characteristics Soda lime precision glass balls will provide continual service at 230°F.; good electric and corrosion resistant properties; available in a variety of colors and surface finish (polished or matte).
Nylon balls are an environmentally-frie ndly choice due to how they are made and that they are reusable. Profile Nylon balls are insoluble in diluted mineral acids and most organic...
Profile 316 stainless steel balls have exceptional corrosion resistance, thanks to their higher nickel and molybdenum content. Developed to resist attack by sulphuric, phosphoric and acetic acid compounds; these stainless...
Profile Acetal balls offer predictable mechanical, chemical and electrical properties over a broad temperature range for extended periods of time. They exhibit good fatigue resistance, impact resistance, tensile and shear...
Profile AISI 420 stainless steel balls demonstrate good wear characteristics and hardness. Slightly less hardness and greater corrosion resistance, when compared to 440C. Corrosion Resistance Stainless steel balls have excellent...
Profile AISI 430 stainless steel balls are an economical alternative to 302/304 for corrosive environments and conditions. Magnetic properties offer advantages in assembly of 430 products. Characteristics Stainless steel balls...
Profile AISI 440C stainless steel balls provide maximum hardness, toughness and dimensional stability. They are highly resistant to rolling-contact fatigue. 440C stainless steel balls are used in a hardened condition,...
Profile Carbon steel balls are an economical alternative to through-hardened precision balls. They provide reliable performance for less expensive anti-friction bearings, steering columns, casters, conveyors and trolleys, roller skates, toys,...
Profile Chrome steel is a bearing grade alloy steel. This material is known as 52100 steel in the US, 100Cr6 in Europe, SUJ2 in Japan and GCr15 in China. This...
Profile High hardness and dimensional stability make tungsten carbide balls the preferred choice for precision hydraulic valves, high-load bearings, inertial navigation systems, ball screws, linear bearings in slideways, gauging and...
Profile Polyethylene balls are a low-cost thermoplastic alternative, providing excellent abrasion resistance and high impact characteristics. Polyethylene balls are also used to reduce unpleasant odors. The smooth surface of polyethylene...
Profile Polypropylene balls have excellent chemical resistance and low density, as well as the highest melting point of the volume thermoplastics. They are an excellent electrical insulator, with low dielectric...
Profile Precision AISI 304/302 stainless steel balls Type 18-8 are used when conditions require corrosion performance and toughness not available in hardenable stainless steels. Principal applications are in couplings, valves...
Profile There are no known industrial acids or caustics that will attack Teflon, and there is no known solvent for it. Application Teflon balls are recommended for applications where lightweight,...
We manufacture colored plastic balls in any custom color. In addition, natural (off-white) is the standard color. At Hartford, we can custom match whatever color you need for your specific...
