Key feature: threaded structure: Drill a hole on the steel ball and tap an internal thread, facilitating use with fasteners such as screws and bolts.
Diverse Materials: Common materials include carbon steel (such as Q235), stainless steel (such as 304, 316), bearing steel (such as GCr15), etc. Some products undergo electroplating treatment to enhance corrosion resistance.
Processing methods: including drilling, tapping (screw tapping), through-hole or blind hole, half-hole, and other different forms.
Wide range of application scenarios: used for hardware accessories, phone holders, lighting fixtures, valves, bearings, toys, electronic devices, machine tool handles, etc.
Common types and specifications: Thread specifications: M3, M4, M5, M6, M8, M10, etc.
Diameter range: Commonly ranging from 3mm to 50mm, with some manufacturers offering customization for larger sizes.
Hole type classification: Through hole (penetrating the entire steel ball), blind hole (not penetrating, only one side is processed), and half hole (tapping only a partial depth). Typical applications include spherical connectors for multi-angle adjustment (such as surveillance camera heads and lighting fixtures).
Used for the handle ball head, providing rotation or gripping functionality.
Used as positioning or transmission components in precision instruments.
As decorative hardware, it is particularly widely used in the lighting industry.
