I guess that's different than the thermite grenades I used to carry every mission in case we went down & had to destroy the Tacan unit and/or melt the 50 cal's receiver..

What is the biggest ball bearings you have fondled ? A rotary table in the oilfield can have up to 5' diameter ball bearings. I might still have some 3/4 of a foot in diameter.

On the order of 2' inner diameter, an auxiliary power distribution gearbox, a 18" wall thickness weldment.
Nuke power plant project, '94 or so, all kinds of similar work.
A medium reduction gearbox being rough machined, plain bearings, the oil recovery recirculation cavities are visible.
The shiny quill is 130mm, ~ 5-1/8", to show relative size of the weldment.
The largest shaft, about 3' diameter for a heavy shear, the pin of a gigantic scissor, steel mill recycling application, '97, Hamilton Ont..
Plain babbitt bearings to carry shock loads, the steel castings were of the 1910s era, from a foundry in Pennsylvania, quite massive.
All of that, and more, decades of it.
It was fun work, always something new and different, demanding.

A lot of grinding mills for rock and coal use very large balls that can be much larger than a conventional bowling ball.
