Tungsten Carbide Ball Views
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 checking instruments, and meters. Tungsten carbide balls are also used for ballizing, to work-harden and improve fretting fatigue strength
Hartford Technologies is a leading American manufacturer of custom tungsten carbide balls and bearing assemblies, precision balls, rollers, pins, and shafts with manufacturing facilities in America and China. We provide comprehensive value-added services, including application engineering and inventory management, to a customer base that spans automotive to medical, leisure products to agriculture.
Uses: Tungsten carbide balls are used where extreme hardness and wear resistance is required; in such applications as bearings, ball screws, valves, flowmeters. TC balls are also used for coining and pivots, detents and tips for gages and tracers. Decimal-inch size tungsten carbide balls are widely used for ballizing or hole sizing. TC balls are also used for gauging and checking.
Standard Fractional Tungsten Carbide Balls: The most common tungsten carbide ball material is generally referred to as C1/C2 (see chart below). Most standard fractional inch and metric size TC balls are available off the shelf (see below), many other sizes are and grades are also available from stock or special order. Tungsten Carbide balls are used where extreme hardness and wear resistance is required in such applications as ballizing, bearings, ball screws, valves and flowmeters. Tungsten carbide balls may also be brazed onto a stem or shank to be used for valves, gauges, our other applications. online contact form
