There are several important advantages to bearing performance that are due to the improved surface characteristics of silicon nitride balls. Because the microstructure of silicon nitride can be uniformly engineered to sub-micron grain size, the surface of a silicon nitride ball can be finished to <0.15 micro-inch Ra and the roundness is often better than 0.00001 tolerance.

Ceramic balls are particularly well suited for use in extremely harsh environments where high temperatures, corrosive and erosive substances are present. (read more)

Specified for use in such high-technology industries such as hybrid bearings, aerospace and defense. Excellent corrosion resistance withstands attack from harsh chemicals and demanding environmental conditions. Lightweight Silicon Nitride weighs 60% less than steel which reduces centrifugal force, skidding and wear under high speed and acceleration. (read more)

CERBEC ® ceramic balls are used in hybrid bearings for a wide variety of applications.

CERBEC Balls are made from two types of silicon nitrides made by Saint-Gobain Ceramics: NBD200 and SN101C. They are both fabricated using glass encapsulation HIPing which assures 100% density, high beta phase content,micron-sized grains, and minimal levels of glass phase (read more)
