Ceramic Inner Bearings

Since these bearings are constructed from many materials they often operate in hybrid capacities.

Ceramic inner bearings.

Ceramic bearings are comprised of ceramic rolling elements balls enclosed in a ferrous typically steel inner and outer race. 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. For especially problematic applications ntn offers ceramic hybrid bearings. The use of hybrid ball bearings in today s industries is quickly replacing the more traditional steel ball bearings.

Ceramic bearings are used for many applications where standard bearings are unable to operate or in instances where lubrication is an issu. We also build ceramic bearings i e bearings with ceramic races but they are not as common because they are less durable. Using conventional steel inner and outer rings silicon nitride rolling elements provide excellent electrical insulation while reducing rotating mass and improving heat dissipation.
