High quality, perfectly spherical miniature balls

Balls

MPS Microsystems does everything possible to produce perfectly spherical balls. A ball, or a sphere, is manufactured from an extruded wire which takes several days. The skilfully developed heat treatment gives the stainless steel exceptional physical characteristics and a minimum hardness of 58 HRC. The final step is polishing. It guarantees a mirror-polished ball and precision exceeding all expectations.
