In the world of precision manufacturing and industrial components, ball grade is one of the most critical specifications. For industries like machinery, bearings, aerospace, and instrumentation, understanding what G10, G20, and G100 mean can help businesses choose the right ball for the job—ensuring performance, longevity, and cost-effectiveness.

What Is a Precision Ball Grade?

The letter “G” stands for Grade, which refers to the tolerance level of a ball's geometry. The lower the number, the higher the precision of the ball. This includes tighter tolerances in roundness, diameter variation, and surface finish. For example:

• G10 balls are ultra-precision balls used in high-speed bearings, aerospace components, and precision instruments.

• G20 balls offer high precision and are widely used in motors, automation equipment, and medium-to-high-end machinery.

• G100 balls are commonly used in general-purpose machinery, rollers, and furniture applications.
