MRC hybrid ceramic ball bearings from SKF USA Inc. combine traditional steel rings matched with non-conductive silicon nitride (ceramic) balls offering inherent insulating properties to prevent electrical arcing and associated surface damage to raceways, excessive noise, and premature lubricant aging. They provide ideal "drop-in" replacement solutions ... (read more)

Low-Noise, low-friction, lube-free design, thrust bearings (read more)

The Torque Transmission Thrust Bearing design uses a molded chemical resistant nylon retainer with hardened precision steel balls and washers. The self-lubricating properties of nylon, combined with the precision steel balls and micro finished thrust washers insures smooth operation, reduced noise levels and increased durability.

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)
