Detailed Description

POM balls are commonly used in rolling, sliding and guiding applications requiring low friction and quiet operation.



POM Balls

POM balls, also commonly referred to as acetal balls, are widely used in valves, rollers and mechanical moving assemblies.

Compared with metallic balls, POM balls provide quieter operation, lower friction and good wear resistance, making them suitable for rolling, guiding and sliding applications.

POM balls also maintain good dimensional stability and low moisture absorption in many industrial working environments.

POM balls are suitable for low-load rolling, guiding and general valve applications, but they should not be used in high-temperature, high-pressure or highly corrosive valve systems without confirming the working conditions.

FAQ
What are POM balls used for?
POM balls are commonly used in rolling, guiding and valve applications requiring low friction and quiet operation.
What is the advantage of POM balls?
POM balls provide low friction, good wear resistance and quiet operation for rolling and guiding applications.
Are POM balls the same as acetal balls?
Yes. POM and acetal are commonly used names for similar engineering plastic ball materials.
Are POM balls corrosion resistant?
POM balls provide good resistance to moisture and many general industrial environments.
Can POM balls be used in bearing applications?
Yes. POM balls are commonly used in low-load and low-noise rolling applications.
Can POM balls be used in valve applications?
Yes, POM balls can be used in general valve and flow-control applications where low friction and dimensional stability are required. However, they are not recommended for high-temperature, high-pressure or highly corrosive valve systems.
Are POM balls electrically conductive?
No. POM balls are electrically insulating and non-magnetic.
Can you provide custom sizes or specifications?
Yes, custom ball sizes and specifications are available depending on requirements.
Do you provide inspection reports or certificates?
Yes, inspection reports and material certificates are available upon request.
What packaging options do you offer?
Cartons, plastic bags and customized packaging are available according to customer requirements.
