Raymond Chrome Steel Ball 9/16 in – RA850-017-BULK

Ground and hardened to a precise 9/16 inch diameter, this Raymond chrome steel ball serves as a bearing ball or a detent ball in the assemblies that use it on Raymond lift trucks. Chrome steel is chosen for its hardness and smooth surface finish, so the ball rolls freely in a race or seats cleanly in a detent while carrying the loads placed on it.

A steel ball is replaced once it flat-spots, pits, or corrodes, since a damaged ball runs rough in a bearing or fails to seat in a detent, and even one compromised ball can roughen an entire assembly. Supplied in bulk, it suits shops that rebuild or service these assemblies in volume.

Match the ball diameter exactly to the race or detent it serves, since a ball off in size by even a fraction will not seat or roll correctly.
