Torlon Balls – 5mm – Pack of 25*
Torlon ball bearings are known for handling demanding conditions because they’re made from Torlon, a high-performance thermoplastic.
Here’s why they’re well-suited to high-load applications:
- Exceptional strength and stiffness
Torlon has one of the highest compressive strengths among polymers, so the balls resist deformation even under heavy loads. - High temperature resistance
It maintains mechanical properties at temperatures up to ~260 °C, far beyond most plastics. - Low wear and good fatigue resistance
This makes it reliable for continuous or cyclical loading without rapid degradation. - Chemical resistance
It holds up well in aggressive environments where metals might corrode. - Low friction (especially with fillers)
Grades filled with PTFE or graphite reduce friction and improve wear life.
Available in the following sizes:
- 5/32″ (3.97MM)
- 3/16″ (4.76MM)
