For especially problematic applications ntn offers ceramic hybrid bearings.
Ceramic inner bearings.
Using conventional steel inner and outer rings silicon nitride rolling elements provide excellent electrical insulation while reducing rotating mass and improving heat dissipation.
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.
Mcdanel advanced ceramic technologies llc is a leader in developing and manufacturing the highest quality ceramic tubes and ceramic components.
The use of hybrid ball bearings in today s industries is quickly replacing the more traditional steel ball bearings.
Because of our core focus on ceramic technologies mcdanel is uniquely positioned to provide you with superior products and dedicated service for an unparalleled range of applications.
We also build ceramic bearings i e bearings with ceramic races but they are not as common because they are less durable.
Steel bearings will wear out more quickly due to a number of factors.
