Ball-bearing

made of plastic

The high quality of plastic ball bearings is known everywhere. Thanks to constant further development, there are hardly any limits to the processing and application possibilities.

Plastic ball bearings with ceramic balls made of aluminum oxide or silicon nitride

Plastic ball bearings are the better solution wherever the environment does not allow the use of steel (due to heat, cold, moisture, alkalis, acids, etc.) or only allows it to last for a limited time.
These ball bearings are manufactured exclusively by machining. In contrast to the mass production of injected plastic bearings, this manufacturing process guarantees high quality, dimensional stability and long durability.

Our plastic ball bearings with ceramic balls made of silicon nitride (Si3N4) are the optimal choice for demanding applications with aggressive media, sensitive technology, or high hygiene requirements.

Si3N4, Al2O3 oder ZrO2

Why ceramic balls made of aluminum oxide or silicon nitride?

High hardness and wear resistance for long service life
Excellent corrosion resistance to chemicals and moisture
Electrically non-conductive – ideal for electronics and medical technology
Non-magnetic – suitable for magnet-free environments
No lubricant required – maintenance-free
