Definition and Function
120kN Ball Socket is a ball connector designed to withstand loads up to 120 kilonewtons (kN). It is widely used in high-voltage power systems and other industrial fields that require high-strength connections. Its main functions are:
Provide reliable mechanical connection to ensure that each connected component remains stable when subjected to force.
Allows multi-directional rotation and self-adjustment, effectively alleviating stress concentration and eccentric load problems caused by temperature changes, vibration or external impact.
Structural Features

Ball head and socket structure:
The ball head and socket connection form allows the connection part to rotate and adjust freely in multiple directions, ensuring that the device can automatically compensate for errors during installation and operation.
High load-bearing design:
The rated load capacity is up to 120kN, which can meet the mechanical strength requirements in harsh environments and ensure reliable connection performance under high-load conditions.
Materials and manufacturing process
Material selection:
Usually made of high-strength alloy steel or other corrosion-resistant, high-strength metal materials. These materials are strictly screened to ensure that the products still have sufficient mechanical strength under harsh working conditions.
Manufacturing process:
Heat treatment and quenching: The hardness and toughness of the metal are improved through high-temperature quenching and heat treatment processes.
Anti-corrosion treatment: In order to extend the service life of the product in harsh environments, anti-corrosion coating treatment is usually carried out to resist the erosion of corrosive media such as moisture and salt spray.
Application areas
Power industry:
Used in transmission lines, substations and other high-voltage power systems as an important component for hanging, fixing and connecting wires or insulators.
Railway contact network:
In railway electrification systems, it is used to connect and fix various electrical equipment to ensure the stable operation of the power supply system.
Industrial equipment:
Its application can also be seen in mechanical connection occasions that require high loads and multi-directional adjustments, such as heavy machinery, bridge structure connections and other fields.
Advantages
High load capacity:
The rated load capacity of 120kN enables it to ensure the stability and safety of the connection parts in extreme environments.
Multi-directional self-adjustment function:
The spherical structure allows each connection component to automatically adjust its angle when subjected to force, reducing the risk of fatigue and damage caused by eccentric loading.
Resistant to harsh environments:
The materials treated with heat treatment and anti-corrosion processes have good high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance and weather resistance, and are suitable for various complex environments.
Flexible installation:
The structural design is simple and easy to install and maintain, and replacement can be completed quickly and efficiently.
Precautions for use
Regular inspection:
It is recommended to regularly inspect the connection parts to ensure that the fasteners are not loose or excessively worn, and to detect potential damage or corrosion problems in a timely manner.
Comply with load specifications:
When using, it must be ensured that the actual load does not exceed the rated value of 120kN to avoid degradation or damage to the connector due to overloading.
Maintenance:
For equipment that is exposed to high corrosion or extreme temperature environments for a long time, corresponding anti-corrosion and maintenance measures should be taken, such as regular cleaning and replacement of anti-corrosion coatings.
Summary
120kN Ball Socket plays a vital role in power, railway and heavy industry with its high load capacity, multi-directional self-adjusting design and excellent resistance to harsh environments. Correct use and regular maintenance will further ensure its long-term stable operation under high load conditions.If you have any needs, please contact us.
