Product Profile of Flat At The Poles Eclipse Balls

Technocon Engineers manufactures Flat at the Poles Eclipse Balls. Technocon Engineers offers stainless, carbon, chrome and bearing steel spherical balls, eclipse, ballcones, cylinders and grinding media. The Flat at the Poles Eclipse Balls are Stainless Steel, Inox, High Carbon or Chrome Steel Media used for burnishing, polishing, and grinding purpose. The Flat at the Poles Eclipse Balls are spherical steel balls with slight flattening at the poles are recommended in many grinding and steel media finishing processes. A steel ball sphere because of its excellent rolling action is the most commonly used shape for polishing and grinding media. However, for many applications an eclipse ball performs equally well. In some polishing applications where the component profile is not flat, the rolling of spheres is interrupted. Hence, steel spheres and eclipses provide similar results. In other applications where high luster is not required, use of eclipses is adequate. In many grinding applications, the work efficiency of an eclipse and round ball [sphere] is about the same.

The advantages of Flat at the Poles Eclipse Balls are:

• The advantage of using steel eclipses over spheres is that its cost is substantially less without too large steel balls, flat at the poles.

• Eclipse; round steel ball with slight flattening on the top and bottom ends [the poles] is recommended wherever exact sphericity is not essential, as in many grinding and steel media finishing processes.

• In vibratory polishing applications where the component profile is not flat the rolling of spheres is anyway interrupted. Hence, steel spheres and eclipses provide almost similar results.

• In applications where high luster is not required the use of eclipse as a steel polishing media is adequate.

• In many grinding applications as well, the work efficiency of steel eclipses and spherical balls [steel spheres] is more or less the same.

• For small process runs and / or trial runs eclipse can be used instead of precise spheres as the steel media, if cost saving is a consideration.

• Again, where cost saving is important, eclipses and spherical steel balls can be mixed and used.
