Ceramic Thrust Ball Bearings

What are Ceramic Thrust Bearings?

Ceramic thrust bearings have been put into practical use. It can be used very well under the conditions of the spindle of the machine tool, high speed and high load. Due to the excellent corrosion resistance and wear resistance of the ceramic material itself, it can work in fresh water, sea water and the like.

The ceramic thrust bearing is also a special bearing for bearing the axial force. In the environment where the environment is not conducive to the bearing load of the steel, the full ceramic thrust ball bearing of zirconia or silicon nitride and ceramic ball can be handled well. Because of its non-magnetic properties and the unique properties of the material itself, ceramic thrust ball bearings can still work in high temperature environments without lubrication.

Higher Load Capacity and Better Lubrication Performance

Compared with ordinary bearings, ceramic thrust bearings have higher load capacity and better lubrication performance, and are also extended by 50% in service life. The ceramic thrust bearing has high limit speed, small temperature rise and high rigidity. It also compensates for the deficiency of the traditional bearing to a certain extent in the structure and support mode.

Where are Ceramic Thrust Bearings being used?

The ceramic thrust bearing as the core component is widely used in rotating machinery that is subjected to axial heavy loads, such as compressors, pumps, internal combustion engines, hydraulic turbines, and marine propulsion shafting.
