Ceramic Bushing Lubrication

Given the lower speed and load the bearings will be subject to in a mount you should be fine running them dry.

Ceramic bushing lubrication.

In applications lubricated by water or process fluid bearing materials need to be both chemically resistant to the fluid and able to operate with thin films. Typical results include bearing surface damage premature aging of the lubricant. Ceramic cermet bearings are used successfully in many oil water and process lubricated pump applications. The natural insulating properties of ceramic material eliminates this type of damage.

Grease and oil lubricants can also be added to full ceramic bearings as well as hybrids in order to change performance characteristics such as increase speed reduce ball skidding or reduce noise. Grease specifications are subject to application in order to decide which grease type is most applicable to your application contact unasis sales team. Grease and oil are common lubricants for hybrid bearings but ceramic bearings are less sensitive to fluctuations in lubrication conditions. Prevent electrical arcing when electrical current passes across bearings a washboard pattern appears on the raceways along with a darkened grey appearance.
