Hybrid & all-ceramic bearings

Hybrid and all-ceramic rolling bearings – lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and ideal for extreme industrial environments.

Hybrid & all-ceramic

Hybrid rolling bearings have many advantages — especially if they don’t rust. Dirt, moisture, high temperatures, acids and many other external influences can hardly harm them.

  • Hybrid deep-groove ball bearing with white housing and steel balls
  • All-ceramic rolling bearing for low-friction, durable applications
  • Ceramic rolling bearing with translucent balls

Hybrid rolling bearings — made for extreme conditions

There are plenty of adverse environmental conditions that are detrimental to mechanical components. Our hybrid radial deep-groove ball bearings with stainless rings are made for extreme conditions, because they are resistant to almost all adverse influences — perfect for all applications where conventional bearings reach their limits or fail completely.

All-ceramic rolling bearings are indestructible

All-ceramic rolling bearings are needed wherever conventional and hybrid bearings fail. Aggressive ambient media such as water, acids, alkalis and gases, as well as extreme temperatures, cannot harm all-ceramic bearings. Ceramics is the oldest material used by mankind — yet its properties are more modern than ever.

Properties & benefits

  • Resistant to water, acids, alkalis and gases
  • Withstands extreme temperatures
  • Can be used without lubricant — protects the environment and cuts costs
  • Current-insulating and antimagnetic
  • Non-toxic — suitable for food and pharmaceutical production
  • Up to 40 % lower weight than steel bearings
  • Significantly higher permissible speeds

Materials

Si₃N₄
Silicon nitride

Extremely hard, perfect surface structure, minimal thermal expansion — ideal for balls and rolling elements.

Al₂O₃
Aluminium oxide

Hard, corrosion- and wear-resistant.

ZrO₂
Zirconium oxide

Tough, non-toxic, electrically insulating.

X105CrMo17
Stainless steel

For the bearing rings of hybrid bearings — hardness up to 60 HRC, very low tendency to wear.
