Balls for Ball Sizing

ball gage, measurement
Call us at (800) 322-5832 for a current stock check
Balls for Ball Sizing is the process of forcing an oversized ball through the inside diameter of a metal part. It will increase the inside diameter and greatly improve the surface texture of the part. It is commonly used to assure an inside diameter size in elbows of tubing.
See: Report on Ball Sizing
See: Sapphire Oil

 

 


Balwands

The Ballwand
Balwands consist of a ball with a flatted area, mounted on a shaft. They are used to measure the distance or gap between two surfaces. They are excellent for measuring the flatness of large parts.  Two Balwands of the proper diameters create a go and no-go situation.
See: Tech Data Sheet: #17 & Ball Gage Catalog.

The price is cut by 50% for a single end Ball Gage or a ball on a stem without a handle.

The Cantilever Ball Bar (Dumbbell)

Cantilever Ball Bar with CMM probe (12053 bytes)

The Cantilever Ball Bar (Dumbbell)  is the most advanced Ball Bar (Dumbbell) designed. It has two additional spheres located just behind each master sphere. This second set of spheres are used as a means to rigidly support the Ball Bar (Dumbbell) near the ends. This support virtually eliminates any bending due to the contact force of the measuring probe. The Cantilevered Ball Bar (Dumbbell) is used with the Way Out Ball Bar (Dumbbell) Support.

Dimensional Measuring Lab

Mulimi
The Talyrond machine measures the sphericity of the ball

Gleco Division's dimensional measuring lab provides certification traceable to (NIST) National Institute of Standards & Technology. The temperature is controlled at the International standard of 68 degrees Fahrenheit or 20 degrees Celsius. A clean room environment is being developed for even tighter controls. The size of the ball is measured between two parallel flats using state of the art methods with a Heidenhain certo scale.

Inspection Ball Kits

Inspection Ball Kits
Inspection Ball Kits:
Inspection ball kits are available from stock in the 14 most popular English sizes from 3/32" to 1.00", individually or all in a kit. Each individual group of balls contain a nominal fractional ball as well as one each of a +.002", +001", +0005", +0002", and -.001", -002". The inspection ball kits are also excellent for ball sizing parts. Ball sizing is basically pushing a ball through a hole or tube which produce a certain finish or size.

Sphericity

Operator working at Talyrond machine (22601 bytes)

Sphericity - Measuring the roundness of a ball is no problem using the Talyrond system. This system is our fastest and most accurate method of measuring roundness. The ball being inspected remains at rest on the table while the test probe is rotated accurately around it. A permanent polar chart recording is produced. The overall accuracy of this machine is one millionth of an inch. The calibration is verified by standards traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
See: Technical Data #15

This is a ( bad ) example of the polar chart produced on the Talyrond. The inner polylobular trace was made from a competitor's silicon nitride ball that was rated by them as a grade 10. The outer trace was made from a very good quality ball.

The Standard Ball Bar (Dumbbell)

Standard Ball Bar (Dumbbell), Shown with PVC shipping case

The Standard Ball Bar (Dumbbell) is a gage device which is used to evaluate the overall performance of Coordinate Measuring Machines. The Ball Bar consists of two very precise spheres firmly attached to opposite ends of a rather long rigid bar. 1 inch (25.4 mm) balls are Hardened Stainless Steel, 58RC. They are matched in size and spherical within 5 microinches (127 nm). Available in many different lengths. Most commonly used with the standard Ball Bar (Dumbbell) Stand or as part of the Ball Bar (Dumbbell) Kit.

The Tri-mount Collar


Tri Mount (10548 bytes)

The Tri-mount Collar is used to hold three or more separate Ball Bars (Dumbbells) all at the same time, on the anchor or the Heavy Duty Stand. No hand contact with the Ball Bars (Dumbbells) by the calibration technician is required, and three different positions can be set at once. This is important because the Ball Bars (Dumbbells) are rather long devices which may be sensitive to temperature change.
