Ceramic balls for hybrid ball bearings

CERBEC balls are lighter, harder, stiffer and smother with much less thermal expansion, than the best beating steel. Its features include: ultra-smooth surfaces and chemical inertness; reduces lube degradation, rolling and sliding friction; lower thermal expansion; corrosion and electrical resistance; lighter weight decreases centrifugal force, gyroscopic moment, ball skidding and friction; and hardness and stiffness reduce friction and wear while increasing bearing rigidity for higher speed and less vibration. Whether for simplified lubrication on the high end or elevated performance for the low end, bearings are better with CERBEC inside. These balls make bearings far more durable and reliable while enabling design extensions to increase performance and improve productivity. For a relatively small extra initial cost, one can ask the bearing supplier put CERBEC inside for trouble-free long life productive operation. Hybrid bearings made with CERBEC balls have last more than five times longer depending upon operating conditions. In all these areas CERBEC balls surpass steel. In most cases, grease can replace more complex lube systems, yet still provide higher speed and longer life. CERBEC balls are known worldwide for their quality in all respects, which are guaranteed through a host of inspection criteria - density, dimensional measurement, radiography, geometry, surface finish, dye-penetrant and visual criteria to insure the integrity of each and every CERBEC ceramic ball.
