Precision Balls, Incremental Ball Sizes, Ball Inventory Management

Hartford Technologies manufactures incremental ball sizes that allow
OEMs to work successfully with minor variations in the dimensions of:

stampings
tubing
roll formed product, or
extrusions

. . . and save substantially on manufacturing costs.

In assemblies such as sliding mechanisms for car seats, and tubing used
in steering columns, incremental ball sizing is a powerful tool for achieving
precise fit between the ID and the OD- without the precision price.

Hartford customers gain something else as well – expert ball inventory
management. Our Inventory Modeling Program monitors your process,
usage, and history, and predicts trends that then control our manufacturing.
As a result, “what you need” is always “what’s in stock.”

Hartford’s Inventory Modeling Program allows customers to minimize
inventory, precisely meet demand, and avoid excess stock.

The Hartford Commitment: get in sync with our customers’
processes. Hold ball tight tolerances to match variations that
customers experience in stampings, roll formings, tubing or
extrusions. And keep costs low.

Hartford manufactures a broad range of incremental ball sizes, in
increments to suit customer needs, from 2 mm to 10 mm. We also offer
branded materials, including TrimRite^® stainless steel ball manufacturing,
and hollow steel ball manufacturing.
