Ball joints are an integral part of modern vehicle construction – they perform safety-related tasks, particularly in chassis and steering systems. How do they work, and what requirements does this place on the precision manufacture of the ball pin?
Turning balls, especially in safety-critical areas such as the automotive industry, places the highest demands on precision, repeatability and cycle time. Components such as ball pins in ball joints play a central role in steering and chassis. Their production requires state-of-the-art turning technology – especially when it comes to large quantities and economical processes.Â
