Ceramic Plain Bearing

Miniature ball bearings precision industrial ball bearings.

Ceramic plain bearing.

From mining and construction equipment farm and forestry machinery all the way to forklift trucks and solar power equipment. A distinction is made between radial plain bearings for radial forces transverse forces and axial or thrust plain bearings for axial forces longitudinal forces. Reduce wear from contamination. Ceramic bearing and bushing components for wear resistance coorstek bushing and bearing components are engineered for high durability and reliability.

A plain bearing or more commonly sliding bearing and slide bearing in railroading sometimes called a solid bearing journal bearing or friction bearing is the simplest type of bearing comprising just a bearing surface and no rolling elements. Ceramic cermet bearings are used successfully in many oil water and process lubricated pump applications. Iso 9001 2008 certified distributor of bearings. Ast bearings is the complete one stop supplier to oem s and to wholesalers sourcing high precision miniature ball bearings industrial ball bearing related products and associated professional services including world class engineering and design.

Types of bearings include ball ball screw roller plain cam follower rod end mounted special type bearings. Types of roller bearings include cylindrical needle spherical tapered roller bearings. The plain bearings come in standard industrial bore sizes from 0 5 to 12 inches as well as metric sizes from as small as 4 to 300 mm. Our complete manufacturing process control from forming to finishing allows us to maintain the highest standards for your custom components.

Plain bearings are used in many industries and across many applications where there is a need to cost efficiently and reliably meet the challenge of oscillating movements and possible misalignment. Plain bearing the plain bearing is an element frequently used in centrifugal pump construction that allows a moving component to slide within a stationary component. Ceramic bearings are comprised of ceramic rolling elements balls enclosed in a ferrous typically steel inner and outer race. In applications lubricated by water or process fluid bearing materials need to be both chemically resistant to the fluid and able to operate with thin films.

Custom sizes can also be ordered. Because ceramic balls are only 40 as dense as steel balls the centrifugal load that they generate is less and the internal bearing friction is lower. Ball bearings are available in hexagon round square tapered bore types.
