The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. International Standard ISO 3290 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 4, Rolling bearings. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 3290:1998) which has been technically revised. Annexes A and B form a normative part of this International Standard. -,-,- INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 3290:2001(E) © ISO 2001 All rights reserved 1 Rolling bearings Balls Dimensions and tolerances 1 Scope This International Standard specifies requirements for finished steel balls for rolling bearings. 2 Normative references The following normative documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this International Standard. For dated references, subsequent amendments to, or revisions of, any of these publications do not apply. However, parties to agreements based on this International Standard are encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the most recent editions of the normative documents indicated below. For undated references, the latest edition of the normative document referred to applies. Members of ISO and IEC maintain registers of currently valid International Standards.

In practice, the waviness components are separated from the real surface by a waviness analyser (filters). 3.5.3 surface roughness surface irregularities with relatively small spacings, which usually include irregularities resulting from the method of manufacture being used and/or other influences NOTE These irregularities are considered within the limits that are conventionally defined, e.g., within the limits of the sampling length. 3.6 surface defect element, irregularity or group of elements and irregularities of the real surface, unintentionally or accidentally caused during manufacture, storage, handling or use of the surface NOTE These types of element or irregularity differ considerably from those constituting the surface roughness and should not be considered during the measurement of the surface roughness (see 4.2, note 2). Surface defects (and their limits) are not specified in this International Standard. 3.7 ball lot definite quantity of balls manufactured under conditions presumed uniform and which is considered as an entity 3.8 mean diameter of ball lot DwmL arithmetical mean of the mean diameters of the largest ball and the smallest ball in a ball lot -,-,- ISO 3290:2001(E) © ISO 2001 All rights reserved 3 3.9 variation of ball lot diameter VDwL difference between the mean diameters of the largest ball and the smallest ball in a ball lot 3.10 ball grade G specific combination of dimensional, form, surface roughness and sorting tolerances for balls NOTE Ball grade is identified by the letter G and a number. 3.11 ball gauge S amount by which the mean diameter of a ball lot should differ from the nominal ball diameter, this amount being one of an established series NOTE 1 Each ball gauge is a whole multiple of the ball gauge interval established for the ball grade in question (see Table 3 and annex B). NOTE 2 A ball gauge, in combination with the ball grade and nominal diameter, should be considered as the most exact ball size specification to be used by a customer for ordering purposes. 3.12 deviation of a ball lot from ball gauge S difference between the mean diameter of a ball lot and the sum of the nominal ball diameter and the ball gauge () wmLwS DDS=+ See Table 3 and annex B. 3.13 ball subgauge amount of an established series of amounts, which is the nearest to the actual deviation from the ball gauge of a ball lot NOTE 1 Each ball subgauge is a whole multiple of the ball subgauge interval established for the ball grade in question (see Table 3 and annex B). NOTE 2 The ball subgauge, in combination with the nominal ball diameter and the ball gauge, is used by ball manufacturers to denote the mean diameter of a ball lot and should not be used by customers for ordering purposes. 3.14 hardness measure of resistance to penetration as determined by specific methods 4 Requirements 4.1 Ball size The preferred nominal ball diameters are given in Table 1. Where applicable, the corresponding inch sizes are given for reference purposes only. -,-,- ISO 3290:2001(E) 4 © ISO 2001 All rights reserved 4.2 Quality of geometry and surface Requirements for: variation of ball diameter, see Table 2; deviation from spherical form, see Table 2; waviness, see note 1; surface roughness, see Table 2; surface appearance and defects, see note 2.

The evaluation of roundness in a single equatorial plane may be carried out by calculation from the least square centre. The greatest radial distance in any single equatorial plane is assumed to be the deviation from spherical form. Roundness deviation is measured in three equatorial planes 90° to each other. For a detailed description of methods for the assessment of deviation from roundness see ISO 4291.
