Steel Balls for Ball Bearings: Headed, Ground and Lapped

Bearing balls start as steel wire: cut into short pellets, pressed into rough spheres, rolled round between grooved plates, hardened, then ground and lapped until they are almost perfectly round and smooth.

Watch: how ball bearings are made

How It's Made: ball bearings, from steel to finished balls and rings.
2

Shear and head

Shear the wire into pellets of about the ball's volume. Head each pellet into a rough sphere.

Roll off the flash

Run the balls between rill plates, one fixed and one turning, with coolant pumped between them. This takes off the flash and rounds them; the pressure also hardens the surface a little.

Harden and descale

Heat-treat the steel balls (harden and quench), then tumble off the scale.

Grind and lap

Hard-grind them in the same kind of machine with a fine grinding wheel or abrasive in the coolant, to within about a ten-thousandth of an inch. Lap them for more precision. Check sizes with a micrometer.
