Applications of ceramic bearings
Thread Content
Could the manufacturer please provide information on the performance of ceramic sliding and rolling bearings? Are there any test data available, and what is their service life? User usage?
That’s too general; basically, such information can be found in books. As for the rest, answers need to be provided based on the problems you encounter on site
Ceramic bearings SSiC – I’ve looked into it, and there’s not much information available. So far, I have been in contact with those used in the magnetic drive bearings of lined magnetic pumps. You can consult the technical staff at Richter, CP, and Iwaki
I have experience using ceramic shafts with low rotation speeds – they rotate once every 2 seconds, feature packing seals, are highly wear-resistant, and the maintenance interval has been extended from 1 year to 3 years.
Bearings are standard components, and the manufacturer’s catalogs should provide basic rated dynamic load data, but such information is not available at present.
