Description

Hybrid bearings have rings made of bearing steel and rolling elements made of bearing grade silicon nitride (Si3N4), which make the bearings electrically insulating.

Bearing features: Silicon nitride rolling elements can extend bearing service life by offering enhanced bearing performance, even under difficult operating conditions .When compared to same-sized bearings with steel rolling elements, the benefits of hybrid bearings include:

• Protection from electric current damage
• Higher speed capability
• Long service life
• High wear-resistance
• High bearing stiffness
• Reduced risk of smearing
• Reduced risk of false brandling
• Less sensitivity to temperature gradients
