Our high-performance 10 ball Si3N4 ceramic deep groove ball bearings with PEEK cages are engineered for the most demanding industrial environments. By leveraging the superior properties of Silicon Nitride (Si3N4), these all-ceramic bearings offer unmatched non-magnetic, electrically insulating, and corrosion-resistant capabilities, ensuring operational stability where traditional steel bearings fail.
Designed for extreme temperature versatility, these bearings maintain mechanical integrity in harsh conditions, ranging from cryogenic polar temperatures to intense heat. Whether your application requires oil-free self-lubrication in a high-vacuum setting or resistance to aggressive chemical acids and alkalis, our ceramic solutions provide the reliability and longevity required for precision manufacturing.

Si3N4 bearings offer superior temperature resistance, non-magnetic properties, electrical insulation, and complete immunity to corrosion from acids and alkalis.
Yes, ceramic materials possess self-lubricating properties, making them ideal for high-vacuum or sterile environments where oil is prohibited.
For polar or cryogenic temperatures below -70°C, we recommend using PTFE cages or stainless steel 316 cages instead of PEEK.
Ceramics have a much lower thermal expansion coefficient than steel, meaning the internal clearance remains stable even during extreme temperature shifts.
Absolutely. Being non-magnetic, they prevent magnetic debris from adhering to the raceways, which drastically reduces abrasive wear.
Yes, while C0 is the standard radial clearance, we offer fully customizable clearance options to adapt to your specific extreme environment requirements.
