Thin-Section Ball Bearings
Products Description
Silicon Nitride Ceramic Ball is the most ideal bearing ball for bearing applications, due to the excellent properties of silicon nitride ceramics, it has many irreplaceable advantages comparing to traditional steel materials, such as: high mechanical strength, low wear loss, good self-lubrication, low density, high corrosion resistance, good electrical insulation etc. Therefore, Silicon Nitride Balls are mostly used for some harsh working conditions: high speed/super speed bearings, high precision bearings, bearings in vacuum, high/low temperature bearings. Moreover, Silicon Nitride Ceramic Balls can also used as valve ball or measurement balls in chemical pumps/high temperature pumps/metdering pumps.

Silicon Nitride Precision Balls has advantages as below:
1. Strong acid, alkali resistance, can also be used in Seawater.
2. High temperature and wear resistance, strength and hardness is almost the same from room temperature to 1200.
3. Nonmagnetic, electrical insulation, can also be used in magnetic field.
4. Light weight with density 3.2g/cm3, 1/4 lighter than ordinary bearing materials.
5. High Hardness and high strength, hardness is twice of GCrls, elasticity modulus is 1/3 higher than GCrls. 6. Centrifugal force is small when rotating due to the low density.
7. Coefficient of Thermal Expansion is only 1/4 of GCrls, can be used in high temperature.
8. Silicon Nitride has good self-lubricating, can work without lubricant.
9. Never rust.
10. Silicon Nitride Balls can high precision because its structure is stable, not easy to cause deformation.
