Frequently Asked Questions
A: We offer a wide range of sizes, from as small as 0.80mm (1/32″) up to 2-1/2″, catering to various industrial needs and specifications.
A: The grade number indicates the tolerance and sphericity of the balls. Lower numbers (such as 3 or 5) represent higher precision and are used in applications requiring the utmost accuracy, like aerospace bearing applications.
A: These balls consist of 1.30% to 1.60% Chromium and 0.98% to 1.10% Carbon, enhancing their hardness and wear resistance. They also contain manganese and silicon and have low levels of Phosphorus and Sulphur to improve strength and durability.
A: Our steel balls meet stringent international standards, including IATF 16949:2016 and ISO 14001:2015, ensuring high quality and consistency in automotive and environmental management applications.
A: Proper storage is crucial for maintaining the quality. Here’s how to do it:
- Keep Dry: Store in a moisture-free area to prevent rust.
- Control Temperature: Avoid extreme temperature changes.
- Protect Surfaces: Use non-abrasive materials for storage.
- Separate Grades: Store different sizes or grades apart.
- Inspect Regularly: Check periodically for any signs of damage.
A: Abbott Ball Company typically processes and ships within 4 to 6 weeks. The exact timeline can vary based on the specifics of the order and current production schedules.
Customers are encouraged to contact our customer service team for the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding their order status and specific lead times.
A: The life expectancy can vary significantly based on the application, load, operating conditions, and maintenance practices.
