Steel Ball 216011-7

This genuine OEM steel ball measures 5.6mm in diameter and is used in the ball bearing mechanisms or detent systems of your handheld power tools. It minimizes friction between moving parts, allowing them to move smoothly without causing excessive wear or resistance. It can also provide a reliable locking mechanism in the detent system, ensuring that adjustable parts stay securely in place during operation. Typically, you can find this steel ball inside the main housing of your power tool. It facilitates smooth rolling or sliding movements in various components like compression springs, cam clutches, barrels, or spindles. Signs of a worn or damaged steel ball include increased vibration or inconsistent locking. To check if the steel ball requires replacement, visually inspect it for any signs of wear or damage. If you are unsure about how to replace the steel ball in your machine, it is recommended to consult your user manual for instructions. Please note that this replacement part is sold individually, as your tool may need multiple steel balls. It is also crucial to make sure you have the correct size of steel ball for your specific repair.
