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
