Ceramic bearings are such bearings, which races/raceways and balls are ceramic. If these bearings run at temperatures up to a maximum 300ºC, then these are equipped with cage (bearing spacer, bearing retainer) made of plastic, and above this temperature occur in a special version without cage.
Ceramic bearings are applicable everywhere there where is required:
The bearings, which the rolling elements are made of ceramics we call hybrid bearings. Races/raceways of hybrid bearings, depending on the application, are made of chromium steel or stainless steel. The most commonly used material for the rolling elements is silicon nitride. Cages, seals and shields are made from similar materials as in the case of traditional bearings (steel bearings).
Properties of bearings of this type:
The best bearing is such, that is matched to the conditions of operation. Therefore, were created ceramic bearings both hybrid and of plastics. For the production of the latter are used such materials as POM (polyoxymethylene), PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene/Teflon) and PEEK (polyethepetherketone).. Rolling elements in this type of bearings are made in turn from such materials as: glass, stainless steel or ceramic. These bearings are characterized by:

Using such properties of ceramics as corrosion resistance and wear resistance, it is used successfully for the manufacture of slide bearings. Most frequently these bearings are submerged, where the medium is lubricant for bearings. The bearings are manufactured according to individual projects.
We deliver bearings for such industries as:
