Bicycle Steel Ball

Bicycle steel balls are special type of balls, mostly used in place of bearing balls where expected wear and tear is less. They are produced using extremely sophisticated and specialized machines. Heat treatment is one of the most critical operations which provide required strength & hardness to the ball. It makes the balls tough and wear resistant. Apart from intermediate vigil at all operations, for all quality parameters, finished products are also tested with extremely sophisticated equipments to ensure right quality of balls.

Material used for bicycle steel balls is EN-9, EN-31 and Mild Steel. Balls of this material have the advantage of being through hardened and will take higher loads and provide longer life than case hardened balls, for such applications as the cycle industry. These balls are substantially cheaper than balls manufactured from high carbon chrome alloy steels. Mainly six sizes are used for bicycles & its spares like Hub, Pedal, Freewheel, Handle, etc. These are:- 1/8", 1/4", 3/16", 5/32".
