Materials

Please find below the summary table of stainless steels used in the manufacture of satellites and bicones.

Diameters and Tolerances

Satellite dimensions are a few millimetres for the ball and an additional 2 or 3 millimetres for the saturn. Ex: 3×5 mm, 5×7 mm or 7×10 mm – Bicons are less flattened and the standard size is 5×5 mm. – Tolerances are very broad and not standardized.

Stainless steel satellites and bicones

Satellites and bicones are used alone or in addition to polishing balls in rotary barrels. Our range of polishing balls is complemented by satellites and bicones whose applications are identical and sometimes simultaneous with those of polishing balls. These satellites and bicones exist only in 100C6 and stainless steel (AISI 420, AISI 304, AISI 430 and AISI 440) and the standard dimensions are 3×5 mm, 5×5 mm, 5×7 mm or 7×10 mm. They sell by weight, like polishing balls.
