Carbon steel balls are divided into two types: low-carbon steel and high-carbon steel. Their precision grades range from G100 to G1000.
High-carbon steel balls (such as AISI1085 and others) cover precision grades from G100 to G500. Among them, the G100 ultra-precision model has extremely strict dimensional tolerances and excellent hardness, suitable for electric vehicle motor bearings, robot linear guides, automotive transmission components, and precision measuring fixtures, enabling low vibration and long-life fatigue performance during high-speed precise motion. The medium-precision high-carbon steel balls from G200 to G500 are the main products in the industrial field, widely used in hydraulic valves, bicycle hubs, and standard mechanical bearings, balancing both balance performance and cost-effectiveness.
Low-carbon steel balls mainly correspond to the G1000-G2000 low-precision grades. They have relatively loose tolerances and lower hardness, focusing on cost control rather than the accuracy of sphericity. Their main applications include abrasive materials for mine/cement ball mills, drawer slides for furniture, spray paint mixing beads, and mechanical counterweights. They are suitable for heavy impact grinding or low-load, low-frequency sliding components.
Key material selection tip: High-carbon steel G100 – G500 is suitable for precision rotating components; Low-carbon steel G1000 – G2000 is suitable for grinding processing and non-critical hardware.
