We are one of the few bearing specialists that have the
ability to custom build ceramic bearings in our own
"In-House" bearing lab in CHINA. Nowadays, everyone
serious about performance is using ceramic ball
bearings.
What is a Ceramic Hybrid Ball Bearing?
A Ceramic Hybrid Ball Bearing is a precision bearing in
which one or all of its components are made of ceramic
elements from silicon nitride. Silicon nitride is
a highly processed silica and ceramic material, similar
to the heat absorbing, highly resilient tiles on the
Space Shuttle. These tiles are used to line the heat
shield of the Space Shuttle, as they protect it from the
2500 plus degrees F. extremes of re-entry into the
earth's atmosphere. The use of Ceramics for bearing
components results in a far superior product over
traditional all steel ball bearings.
Ceramic Balls run at lower vibration levels with less
heat build up.
There are basically three types of Ceramic Ball
Bearings;
Ceramic "Hybrid" Ball Bearings; Where the rolling
elements, or balls, are ceramic, but the inner and outer
rings are still conventional steels.
"Partial" Ceramic Ball Bearings; Where the rolling
elements, and the inner ring are ceramic, but the outer
ring is still made of steel.
"Full" Ceramic Ball Bearings; Where the rolling
elements, inner, and outer rings are made of silicon
nitride. |
