Please contact us for full range details and prices. If not in stock we can get most bearings delivered in less than a week.
Components of a hybrid bearing
1) Steel races - Chrome steel/Stainless steel
2) Ceramic balls - Si3N4
3) Ball Cage/Retainer - Steel/Nylon/PEEK/Teflon
4) Seals/Shields - Rubber/Steel/PEEK/Teflon
5) Lubricant - Dry/Oil/Grease
Features and benefits of hybrid ceramic bearings
Higher hardness of rolling element
- Better wearability
- Greater durability
- Longer service life
Lower gravity
- Lightweighting the system
- Lower centrifugal force during rotation, consequently less bearing wear and heat generation and bearings can run at higher speed
Higher stiffness
- Increase the rigidity of system
- Less sphere deformation under load and this will transfer energy better
Higher precision and better surface finish of ceramic balls
- Less friction between ceramic balls and races
- Less wear
Good corrosion resistance
- Less maintenance or maintenance free
- Races will not block due to rusty
Self-lubrication - Suitable for dry run
Magnetism free
- Less magnetic contaminations to be magnetized into the raceway that can affect smooth rotation and destroy the raceway
Electrical isolation
- No galvanically stimulated corrosion
- Can be used in applcation that requires electrical isolation
