When considering other ball pins on the market utilizing ETG 100 steel with an Rm of 100/110 kg for the body, our Smart Block Pins, featuring 1.4057 material, offer superior characteristics. Let's delve into the technical comparison to shed light on why our Smart Block Pins stand out:

Technical Analysis: Advantages of Smart Block Pins over ETG 100 Ball Pins

• Material Quality Enhancement:

  • Smart Block Pins employ 1.4057 steel, showcasing superior characteristics and performance compared to ETG 100 steel commonly found in other ball pins.

• Mechanical Strength Comparison:

  • While the Rm of ETG 100 and APX may seem comparable at 100/110 kg, the practical performance differs significantly due to the nature of spindle operations.

• Operational Efficiency:

  • In actual usage scenarios, spindles often work in shear conditions, where the composition and treatment of materials play a crucial role in determining performance.

• Enhanced Shear Resistance:

  • APX, when heat-treated at precise temperatures, exhibits a remarkable double shear resistance of 4100 daN for a 1/4 inch diameter, surpassing the 1200 daN resistance of raw ETG steel.

• Specialized Application:

  • ETG 100 steel is primarily suited for double action spindles, whereas Smart Block Pins excel in a broader range of applications requiring superior overall performance.

• Surface Treatment Impact:

  • Beyond material composition, Smart Block Pins ensure excellence by eliminating the need for additional zinc plating and bichromating, simplifying the manufacturing process without compromising appearance or functionality.

Conclusion: Superior Performance with Smart Block Pins

In conclusion, the utilization of 1.4057 steel in our Smart Block Pins offers enhanced characteristics and operational efficiency compared to ETG 100 steel commonly found in other ball pins. With increased shear resistance, optimized mechanical strength, and superior overall performance, Smart Block Pins stand as a reliable and technologically advanced solution for a diverse range of applications requiring exceptional durability and functionality.

Recently we have started using Stainless steel 17-4 PH (precipitation-hardening), it's known for its combination of good corrosion resistance and high strength. When heat-treated, it can achieve high levels of strength and hardness.
