SB Ceramic Hybrid Series

SB Style Ceramic Hybrid Insert Bearings have an inner ring that extends on one side of the bearing to provide extra shaft support. Ceramic Hybrid Insert Bearings have steel races with ceramic balls. Silicon Nitride (Si3N4) Ceramic Balls are suitable for applications where high loads, high speeds and extreme temperatures are factors. Long life and the need for minimal lubrication make this material appropriate for extreme applications. Silicon Nitirde is non-porous, non-magentic, non corrosive and lighter than steel. In ball form, ceramic balls are also harder than steel and because ceramic balls are non-porous they are virtually frictionless. and capable of spinning faster than steel balls.
