Cold heading ball joints

Cold heading is one of our main production techniques at Lemec, especially suitable for the manufacture of spherical plain bearings.

This method makes it possible to create high precision and high strength ball joints, WITH EXCELLENT SURFACE FINISHES, DUE TO THE DEFORMING PROCESS. These ball joints are suitable for very demanding industrial applications. The cold heading process in the manufacture of ball jointsis characterized by the robustness and durability of the parts. This makes them ideal for absorbing misalignment and supporting variable loads.

At Lemec, we adapt to your drawings and specifications, guaranteeing customized solutions that perfectly fit the needs of your industrial projects.

Frequently Asked Questions

What characterizes metal joints manufactured by cold heading?

Metal joints produced through cold heading are distinguished by their high dimensional accuracy and excellent surface finishes. The process results in robust and durable parts capable of absorbing misalignments and withstanding variable loads, making them ideal for demanding industrial applications. Lemec

Why is cold stamping particularly suitable for manufacturing joints in long production runs?

This method enables large-scale production with a highly favorable quality–cost ratio, since it minimizes energy consumption by working at room temperature and maximizes manufacturing efficiency. Being a highly repeatable process, it delivers consistent precision in every piece, which is ideal for extensive batches. Lemec

What functional advantages do joints manufactured by cold heading offer compared to other forming techniques?

In addition to precision and durability, these joints offer high mechanical strength thanks to the material hardening that occurs during the process. Cold heading creates a denser and more uniform structure, which contributes to the durability and reliability of the part in dynamic applications. Lemec

How does Lemec ensure the customization of metal joints according to customer specifications?

Lemec manufactures according to customer drawings and ensures compliance with the technical requirements provided. This involves adapting the design, tolerances, and mechanical properties to each specific use, delivering fully customized solutions for industrial projects. Lemec

Which industrial applications demand metal joints manufactured by cold stamping?

This type of joint is used in sectors with high mechanical demands, where components must withstand misalignments and variable loads. Although the page does not specify exact sectors, it is reasonable to consider industries such as automotive, machinery, hydraulics, or mobile equipment, where robustness and precision are vital.
