Stålkugler

Stålkugler, often translated as steel balls, are precision-manufactured spherical objects made from steel. Their primary use is as rolling elements in bearings, reducing friction between moving parts and allowing for smooth rotation. They are also employed in a variety of other applications due to their hardness, durability, and uniform shape.

The manufacturing process for stålkugler involves several stages, beginning with the selection of high-quality steel alloys. These alloys are chosen for their strength, wear resistance, and ability to withstand high loads. The steel is then heated and formed into rough spheres through methods like hot forging or stamping. Following this, the spheres undergo grinding and lapping processes to achieve their precise dimensions and smooth surface finish. Heat treatment is a critical step, hardening the steel to ensure longevity and performance. Finally, the stålkugler are polished to a mirror-like finish and undergo rigorous quality control inspections to verify their sphericity, hardness, and absence of defects.

Stålkugler come in a wide range of sizes and material compositions, tailored to specific industrial needs. Common applications include automotive components, industrial machinery, ballpoint pens, and even as projectiles in certain types of firearms and airguns. Their density and resistance to corrosion are also important factors in their widespread use.
