Ceramic & Hybrid Bearings

Ceramic Bearings are bearings that use ceramic materials, such as silicon nitride or zirconQia, for their rolling elements (balls or rollers) and sometimes the raceways. These bearings are known for their high hardness, low friction, and resistance to wear and corrosion. 

Hybrid Ceramic Bearings combine ceramic rolling elements with steel raceways. This combination leverages the benefits of ceramics (such as reduced friction and corrosion resistance) while utilizing steel’s robustness for the raceways.

• High-Speed Machinery: Used in applications where high speeds and low friction are critical, such as in precision motors and turbines. 
• Aerospace: Employed in aerospace components due to their lightweight and high performance under extreme conditions. 
• Medical Devices: Used in medical equipment for their biocompatibility and resistance to corrosion. 
• High-Performance Automotive: Found in high-performance and racing vehicles to improve efficiency and reliability.
