We also build ceramic bearings i e bearings with ceramic races but they are not as common because they are less durable.
Ceramic inner bearings.
For especially problematic applications ntn offers ceramic hybrid bearings.
Ceramic bearings are used for many applications where standard bearings are unable to operate or in instances where lubrication is an issu.
Using conventional steel inner and outer rings silicon nitride rolling elements provide excellent electrical insulation while reducing rotating mass and improving heat dissipation.
Because of our core focus on ceramic technologies mcdanel is uniquely positioned to provide you with superior products and dedicated service for an unparalleled range of applications.
With there combination of ceramic balls and steel inner and outer rings the hybrid ball bearings provide the user with a more durable and longer lasting product.
Since these bearings are constructed from many materials they often operate in hybrid capacities.
Ceramic bearings are comprised of ceramic rolling elements balls enclosed in a ferrous typically steel inner and outer race.
