Application and classification of ceramic bearings

All-ceramic bearing has the characteristics of high temperature resistance, cold resistance, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, magneto-electric insulation resistance, oil-free self-lubrication, high speed and so on.Can be used in extreme harsh environment and special working conditions, can be widely used in aviation, aerospace, navigation, petroleum, chemical industry, automobile, electronic equipment, metallurgy, electric power, textile, pump, medical equipment, scientific research and national defense and other fields, is a new material application of high-tech products.

All ceramic bearing ring and rolling body using all ceramic materials, including zirconia (ZrO2), silicon nitride (Si3N4), silicon carbide (Sic) three kinds.Alumina materials only alumina ceramic ball, general bearing retainer usually adopt ptfe, nylon 66, acyl of polyether imide, stainless steel material, etc., and Shanghai yu continuous bearing also developed ceramic retainer, materials are: zirconia, silicon nitride, as well as keep special aviation aluminum manufacturing equipment, thereby expanding the wide application of ceramic bearing.

Classification of all ceramic bearings

(1) high-speed bearing: it has the advantages of cold resistance, low stress elasticity, high pressure resistance, poor thermal conductivity, light weight, low friction coefficient, etc., which can be used in high-speed spindle of 12000 RPM to 75,000 RPM and other high-precision equipment;

(2) high temperature resistant bearing: the material itself is able to withstand high temperature of 1200℃, and has good self-lubrication. There is no expansion caused by temperature difference between 100℃ and 800℃.Can be used in furnace, plastic, steel and other high temperature equipment;

(3) corrosion resistance bearing: the material itself has the characteristics of corrosion resistance, which can be used in the fields of strong acid, strong alkali, inorganic, organic salt, seawater, etc., such as: electroplating equipment, electronic equipment, chemical machinery, shipbuilding, medical equipment, etc.

(4) anti-magnetic bearing: since there is no magnetic field, it does not absorb dust, which can reduce the spalling of the bearing surface and thus reduce the operating noise.Can be used in demagnetization equipment.Precision instruments and other fields.

(5) electrical insulation bearing: because of high resistivity, arc damage can be avoided, which can be used in various electrical equipment requiring insulation.

(6) vacuum bearing: due to the unique oil-free self-lubrication characteristics of ceramic materials, it can overcome the problem that ordinary bearing cannot be lubricated in ultra-high vacuum environment.Note: the same set of bearings of the above five types can be used in high temperature, high speed, acid and alkali, magnetic field and non-insulation. However, due to different material properties (please refer to the performance table of rare earth ceramic materials), customers are requested to select the most suitable ceramic bearings according to the application occasions

Material classification of ceramic bearings

Zirconia all ceramic bearings

All ceramic bearings are resistant to magnetoelectric insulation, abrasion and corrosion resistance, oil free self-lubrication, high temperature and cold resistance, etc., which can be used in extreme harsh environment and special working conditions.The ring and rolling body are made of zirconia (ZrO2) ceramic material, the reholder is made of PTFE (PTFE) as the standard configuration, and the glass fiber reinforced nylon 66 (rpa66-25), special engineering plastics (PEEK, PI), stainless steel (AISISUS316), brass (Cu), etc.

Silicon nitride all ceramic bearing

Silicon nitride all-ceramic bearing ring and rolling body are made of silicon nitride (Si3N4) ceramic material, which can also be used with rpa66-25, PEEK, PI and bakelite pipe with phenolic cloth.Compared with ZrO2, SiN4 is suitable for higher rotating speed and load capacity, as well as higher ambient temperature.At the same time, it can provide precision ceramic bearings for high speed, high precision and high rigidity spindle, with the highest manufacturing accuracy UP to P4 to UP level.

Full ceramic ball bearing

One side of full ceramic ball bearing is filled with ball notches. Because of the design of no cage structure, more ceramic balls can be loaded into the bearing than the standard structure, so as to improve its load capacity. In addition, the limitation of cage material can be avoided, so as to achieve the corrosion resistance and temperature resistance effect of ceramic cage type full ceramic bearing.This series of bearings are not suitable for high rotation speed, so it should be noted that the notched surface should be installed at one end which is not subjected to axial load.

Mixed ceramic ball bearing

Ceramic ball, especially silicon nitride ball, has the characteristics of low density, high hardness, low friction coefficient, wear resistance, self-lubrication and good steel, especially suitable for high speed, high precision and long life mixed ceramic ball bearing rolling body (inner and outer rings for metal bearing steel or stainless steel material).Generally, bearing steel (GCr15) and stainless steel (AISI440C) are used in the inner and outer rings according to customer requirements. Ceramic balls can be made of zirconia ZrO2, silicon nitride Si3N4, or silicon carbide SiC materials.
