A ball joint is a mechanical component used in vehicles and machinery, allowing for smooth, multi-directional movement and rotation. It consists of a spherical bearing (ball) housed in a socket, enabling pivoting and swiveling motions. Commonly found in automotive suspension systems, steering linkages, and robotic arms, ball joints provide flexibility while maintaining structural integrity.
 
Key Features:
Structure: A steel ball encased in a socket, lubricated to reduce friction.
Function: Allows rotational and angular movement, typically up to 30–60 degrees.
 
Applications:
Automotive: Connects control arms to steering knuckles, enabling wheel movement.
Machinery: Used in articulated joints for robots, cranes, or heavy equipment.
 
Types:
Load-carrying: Supports weight (e.g., in suspensions).
Non-load-carrying: Guides motion (e.g., in tie rods).
 
Materials: Typically steel or alloy, with grease seals to protect against wear.
