Full Ceramic & Hybrid Bearings
Extreme High Temperature capability
When temperatures exceed 572 Deg. F. (300 Deg. °C) standard 440C stainless steel and 52100 chrome steel materials begin to lose their mechanical properties. Full ceramic bearings have the advantage of extreme high temperature capability up to 1800 °F (980 °C) depending on the chosen cage materials.
Light Weight
Full ceramic bearings are light weight. In applications implementing many bearing units or utilizing larger sizes this can help reduce the total weight of the overall product. Reducing weight can reduce effects such as vibration and stress caused by out of balance applications. Weight reduction in rotating assemblies can increase speed capability and efficiency.
Non-magnetic
Full ceramic bearings are non-magnetic and will not cause interference in applications where there is strong magnetic field exposure such as electron beam processes or close to Tesla magnets.
