Full Ceramic Ball Bearings

There are two kinds of ceramic bearing: hybrid ceramic bearing and full ceramic bearing. The rolling elements of hybrid ceramic ball bearing are made in ceramic material, the races are made in chrome steel; Different ceramic material have different properties, here is the introduction of ceramic materials and their properties. therefore, for full ceramic ball bearing, both rolling elements and races are made in ceramic material. Ceramic Ball Bearings Because ceramic is a glass like surface it has an extremely low coefficient of friction and is ideal for applications seeking to reduce friction. Ceramic balls require less lubricant and have a greater hardness than steel balls which will contribute to increased bearing life. Thermal properties are better than steel balls resulting in less heat generation at high speeds. Full Ceramic Ball Bearings can have a retainer or full complement of balls, retainer materials used are PEEk and PTFE. De…
