Tough industrial applications require special bearings.
NKE hybrid bearings are consist of steel rings and bearing silicon nitride Si3N4 rolling elements.
Advantages for the user of NKE HYBRID Bearings
-Insulation: highest protection against passage of electric
-Higher speed suitability: centrifugal force reduction due to the light rolling elements
-Lightweight: Silicon nitride is 60% lighter than conventional rolling element steel
-Extended service life: longer bearing life and longer re-lubrication intervals
-Reduced friction: less frictional heat, especially at high speeds
-High wear resistance
-Higher rigidity: less deformation in rolling contact areas
-Reduced risk of poor lubrication at high speeds and fast accelerations, or in the case of insufficient lubricating film
-Low running noise operational bearings
-Significantly less susceptible to standstill marks known as “false brinelling”
-Reduced thermal expansion
-More precise control of preload and bearing clearance
-Dimensionally interchangeable
-No additional tools required
Properties of ceramic rolling elements
-Electrically isolating
-Low friction coefficient
-Corrosion resistant
-Higher modulus of elasticity
