Ceramic Bearing Coatings

A bearing is designed to carry tremendous loads while also being soft enough to allow small particles to embed in the bearing material.

Ceramic bearing coatings.

The result is the finest ball bearing available anywhere. Included in the kit is the company s hydroslick sio2 ceramic coating hyperwax hydrosuds nano ceramic shampoo 2 premium grade microfiber applicators and 3 microfiber towels. The various designs of bearings all address these primary needs. Ct 1 is specifically engineered to withstand the extreme conditions of today s high performance engines.

Our bearings are coated with our ct 1 or ct 11 dry film lubricant coatings to help reduce friction and abrasive wear. Tungsten disulfide ws2 is an industrial aerospace coating technology developed by nasa to improve the durability and performance of complex mechanical systems aboard everything from the international space station to probes that mapped the surface of mars. Powder coatings available in hundreds of colours. Mike stoops senior global product and training specialist at car care product maker meguiar s explains that a ceramic coating uses the same building blocks as glass silicon dioxide to form a.

Black oxide is the most common coating for general bearing applications it is an alkaline surface treatment with only 1 micron oxida tion depth leaving all dimensions unchanged and delivering numerous advantages for bearing performance manganese phosphate mnph zinc phosphate znph zinc calcium phosphate zncaph. You want a raw real performance advantage beyond what our ceramitech bearings offer and this can only be achieved with the lowest friction lubricant coating available and that coating is ws2 tungsten disulfide. Cic high performance ceramics bearing coatings lubricating and maintaining such lubrication is critical to the life of the bearing. In addition to being excellent electric insulators hybrid bearings have a higher speed capability and will provide longer service life than all steel bearings in most applications.

Ceramic coatings are formed from chromium oxide ceramic material thermochemical bonded together and to areas on the substrate offering excellent corrosion protection and wear resistance. Military grade extreme temperature ceramic coatings to insulate reflect and reduce heat radiation. Heatsink coatings that disperse or radiate more heat than bare metal. Permanently bonded lubricants that dry lubricate under extreme pressures.

Ceramic bearings used in racing are constructed using conventional hardened steel races but with the steel balls replaced with ceramic balls. Mrc hybrid ceramic ball bearings use a combination of traditional 52100 steel rings precision matched with silicon nitride ceramic balls. Piston build up coatings to replace wear or collapse.
