Aluminum Oxide Bearing Balls

Product Description

Aluminum Oxide Bearing Balls are engineered ceramic components designed for high-demand environments. These balls possess outstanding resistance to most corrosive chemicals—excluding hydrochloric acid, hydrofluoric acid, and strong alkalis. They are non-porous, lightweight, and significantly harder than steel. With very low friction coefficients and the ability to operate at higher rotational speeds than traditional steel balls, they are ideal for high-precision, high-speed, and corrosion-resistant bearing applications in aerospace, chemical processing, and various industrial sectors.
