Full Ceramic Bearings are made with ceramic inner rings, outer rings, and rolling elements. They are suitable for applications where steel bearings may be affected by corrosion, electrical current, high temperature, vacuum conditions, or chemical exposure.
CERAMPRO supplies full ceramic bearings in:
Silicon Nitride (Si₃N₄): Low density, good strength, wear resistance, and thermal-shock resistance.
Zirconia (ZrO₂): Good toughness, corrosion resistance, and stable mechanical performance.
Silicon Carbide (SiC): High hardness, chemical stability, and wear resistance for demanding environments.
Alumina (Al₂O₃): Good electrical insulation, hardness, and chemical resistance.
Full ceramic bearings are used in semiconductor equipment, chemical processing machinery, vacuum systems, electric motors, pumps, precision instruments, food-processing equipment, medical devices, and high-temperature industrial equipment.
CERAMPRO provides standard and custom full ceramic bearings. Dimensions, material, internal clearance, cage design, and bearing structure can be adjusted according to the required load, speed, temperature, working environment, and lubrication conditions.
