FAQ - Microball answers all your questions:
What advantages do sealing balls offer?
Sealing balls provide an efficient and cost-effective solution for the
permanent sealing of boreholes. They are characterized by easy
handling and high reliability, significantly reducing maintenance
efforts. Compared to alternative sealing methods, they stand out due
to their dimensionally stable construction and wide range of materials,
allowing optimal adaptation to different operating conditions.
This ensures a permanently tight and durable seal.
How do closure balls work in bottle dispensing systems?
Closure balls in bottle dispensing systems ensure precise dosing
when pouring liquids. The ball sits loosely in the spout and opens
under pressure, allowing the liquid to flow in a controlled manner.
Once the pressure decreases, the ball automatically seals the spout
again — preventing uncontrolled dripping and enabling accurate
portioning. This ensures clean, drip-free pouring and easy handling.
How are sealing balls used?
Sealing balls permanently close boreholes or auxiliary holes and
reliably prevent the escape of liquids or gases. They are precisely
fitted into the borehole and serve as durable, low-maintenance
sealing elements — an efficient and cost-effective alternative to more
complex sealing methods.
Beyond this application, sealing balls are also used in professional
bottle dispensers, where, as so-called closure balls, they enable an
automatic stop function, ensuring precise and controlled pouring.
Additionally, sealing balls are excellent as reliable screw locks for hex
socket screws to prevent theft or accidental loosening.
Sealing Balls
The Simple Solution for Permanent Sealing of Boreholes
Sealing balls are a proven method to quickly, permanently, and reliably
seal boreholes — without complex additional components or procedures.
They are used in a wide range of technical applications, such as hydraulic
systems, pipelines, engine blocks, or pump housings. The ball acts as a
precisely fitting sealing element, ensuring a reliable seal of the borehole.
Depending on the requirements, microball GmbH offers sealing balls made from various materials, such as stainless steel, steel, plastic, or glass. Stainless steel balls excel in corrosion resistance, while plastic balls are especially lightweight and media-resistant. The choice of material depends on the medium, temperature, and mechanical stress.
Thanks to their easy handling and affordable price, sealing balls are an economical alternative to other sealing methods. We are happy to assist you in selecting the optimal ball for your application.
Stainless Steel Sealing Balls
Stainless steel sealing balls provide a durable and secure seal
for boreholes, especially in flowing fluids. Their high corrosion
resistance ensures a long service life even in demanding
environments. Stainless steel balls are used, among other
applications, to secure hex socket screws (Allen screws),
for example in solar panel mounting systems, and impress
with their robustness and dimensional stability.
Glass Sealing Balls
Glass balls are chemically resistant and visually appealing —
which is why they are often used where the seal is visible.
They are characterized by their high resistance to both acidic
and alkaline environments and are available in various colors,
making them both functional and decorative.
Sealing Balls
Chrome steel balls provide reliable sealing in oil-carrying systems and are therefore especially used to seal boreholes in gearboxes and other oil-carrying housings. They impress with their high strength and resistance to oil and lubricants — properties that significantly extend their service life.
