Hybrid Ceramic Bearings
The term “hybrid ceramic ball bearing” normally refers to a bearing assembly consisting of inner and outer rings of steel, with silicon nitride (Si3N4), Zirconium Dioxide (ZrO2), Silicon Carbide (SiC), etc. ceramic balls. For some applications, the properties of the bearing with ceramic balls offer functional improvements in several different areas over a conventional all-steel bearing. There is a very significant cost penalty for the hybrid ceramic design that largely limits its present-day use to certain high-end applications. However, this cost gap is expected to shrink over time with advances in ceramic ball manufacturing technology.
