Steel Balls

GBC stocks a range of steel balls in various materials and accuracy. Balls are available in carbon-chrome steel, popularly called ‘bearing steel’. These balls are characterised by high hardness (60-66 HRC), high load carrying capability and long life. Other sizes not generally kept as stock items are available upon request but minimum order quantities will apply due to the size and nature of the product.

• Carbon Steel – the most economical material used, these balls are also hardened and ground, and are used in many ‘low-load’ general purpose applications
• Chrome Steel– same as Carbon Steel with slightly better corrosion resistance
• Stainless Steel – typically used where resistance to environmental corrosion is of concern, these are available as standard in grade 420 stainless (a magnetic grade). 308 grade is available upon request
