Product Overview
A Bolted Ball Space Frame Structure is a three-dimensional steel grid system composed of steel tubular members, high-strength bolts, and bolted spherical nodes.
The structure forms a stable spatial framework through standardized connections, providing excellent load distribution, lightweight performance, and long-span capability.
Compared with conventional steel roofing systems, bolted ball space frames offer larger column-free spaces, enhanced seismic resistance, and superior structural stability, making them an ideal choice for modern architectural and industrial projects.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: How does a bolted ball space frame differ from traditional steel beam systems?
A: Space frames distribute loads through a three-dimensional structure, allowing larger spans and improved structural efficiency.
Q: What is the maximum achievable span?
A: Depending on design requirements, spans can exceed 120 meters.
Q: Is the structure suitable for high-wind regions?
A: Yes. The system can be engineered according to local wind load requirements.
Q: Does the structure require extensive maintenance?
A: No. Routine inspections of joints and protective coatings are generally sufficient.
Q: Do you provide support for overseas projects?
A: Yes. We offer detailed drawings, technical documentation, and remote installation guidance.
Q: What is the warranty period?
A: 2 years.
Q: What are the payment terms?
A: FOB.
