CERBEC ceramic balls applicable for a wide range of manufacturing bearings and ballscrew applications

Saint-Gobain Advanced Ceramics' line of CERBEC balls make bearings and ballscrews better through their new design. Several of Saint- Gobain's customers' bearings and ballscrews will be displayed to show how CERBEC is applied in hybrid bearings (steel races and CERBEC balls). Hybrid bearings are used in a wide range of products, including machine tool spindles, aerospace instrumentation, automobile wheels and gear boxes, as well as electric motors, turbo molecular pumps, centrifugal pumps, vacuum pumps, robotics, and power tools. According to Saint-Gobain Advanced Ceramics, products last longer and provide better performance using CERBEC rather than steel balls for many reasons. It is the combination of lower thermal expansion, higher hardness, higher stiffness, lighter weight, increased corrosion resistance, and higher electrical resistance that increases performance, decreasing operating costs for the bearing user. Generally, products using hybrid bearings offer decreased lube degradation and less wear, yielding longer bearing life and higher operating speeds.
