Bal-tec manufactures standard commercial balls and custom balls of all materials, sizes and tolerances. We make steel balls and stainless steel balls. With over 40,000 square feet of manufacturing facilities housing "state of the art" equipment, we have the ability to meet all your spherical needs from prototype to millions in quantity.

At Bal-tec, quality is of the utmost concern. We use the Talyrond System to measure sphericity of balls. The overall accuracy of this system is one-millionth of an inch and is calibrated using standards traceable to NIST. The size of balls is determined using a Heidenhain Certo 60 to an accuracy of 10-millionths of an inch.  Most balls are produced to the Anti-Friction Bearing Manufacturers Association, ( A.F.B.M.A. ) or military specifications.

Bal-tec stocks over 40,000 different sizes, grades and materials of balls.

Bal-tec manufactures Ball Bars, Probe Characterization Spheres, C.M.M. Pallet Systems, and a full line of measuring related products. Bal-tec, a division of Micro Surface Engineering Inc., is a privately held, family owned, corporation that has been located in Los Angeles, California, U.S.A. since 1952.
