Horizontal Ballizing Machine

Horizontal Ballizing Machine

National Ball-O-Matic® offers a horizontal machine that can finish a 16 foot long tube with a 2" I.D., thus eliminating some very expensive honing. The tube is hand loaded into a retaining nest that keeps it straight during the ballizing operation. The retaining nest corrects part of the camber (bowed condition) of the tube during ballizing. This is a self-contained hydraulic unit that conserves floor space. The variable pump from 0 -3,000 P.S.I. has speed controls for the ballizing ram. The ball track can be changed according to your specifications on a machine like this, ranging from 2" to 6" I.D.

Long Bore

(10 Ton Hydraulic)
600 pcs/hour
Horizontal Machine for Long ID and Long Parts

A shock absorber tube sizing machine is another special item developed by National Ball-O-Matic®. Production rate is 4 tubes in 4 1/2 seconds. The hot work-hardening effect of ballizing strengthens the wall of the tube, increases the wear life of the shock absorber and improves the micro finish to 5-10 R.M.S.
FU-7.5A

(3/4 Ton Air)
600 pcs/hour
