Stålkugle

Stålkugle is a Swedish term that translates directly to "steel ball" in English. It refers to a solid sphere made of steel. These objects are manufactured in a wide range of sizes, from very small ball bearings to larger, heavier spheres. The specific properties of a stålkugle depend on the type of steel used, its hardness, and the precision of its manufacturing.

Stålkugler have numerous applications. They are commonly found in ball bearings, where their smooth, hard surfaces allow for low-friction rotation between moving parts in machinery, vehicles, and countless other devices. They are also used in projectiles for firearms, as weights in various applications, and as components in sporting equipment like slingshots. In industrial settings, they can be used for tumbling and polishing metal parts to achieve a smooth finish. The durability and density of steel make stålkugler suitable for these diverse roles.
