CERBEC ® ceramic balls are used in hybrid bearings for a wide variety of applications.

CERBEC Balls are made from two types of silicon nitrides made by Saint-Gobain Ceramics: NBD200 and SN101C. They are both fabricated using glass encapsulation HIPing which assures 100% density, high beta phase content,micron-sized grains, and minimal levels of glass phase. (read more)
