Ceramic Bearings suit automation and manufacturing industries..

Press Release Summary:




Reducing centrifugal loading and skidding to enable accelerated operation, ceramic hybrid ball bearings use steel races and ceramic balls. Outer race groove exerts less force inward against ball as bearing spins, reducing friction and rolling resistance. Full Ceramic Bearings, made entirely of ceramic material, are resistant to corrosion, non-conductive, and continue to work in temperatures to 1,800°F. Many styles are availabe for both bearing versions.

Boca Bearing Company's Ceramic Bearings Offer Flexibility to Automation and Advanced Manufacturing Industries



Boca Bearing Company is expanding its product line to include bearings and lubricants suitable for the automation and advanced manufacturing industries. Boca Bearings carries a large stock of standard bearings, ceramic hybrid bearings, full ceramic bearings and specialty lube. Boca Bearings' stock is located in the United States. Therefore the company is capable of fast order fulfillment during these times of global supply chain delays.

Delray Beach, FL - Boca Bearing Company is introducing a new line of full ceramic bearings, ceramic hybrid bearings and lubricants catered towards the automation and advanced manufacturing industries. Boca Bearing's ceramic bearings can be used in varieties of manufacturing environments ranging from extreme temperatures, high speeds to heavy loads.

Ceramic hybrid ball bearings use steel races and ceramic balls. Ceramic balls weigh up to 40% less than steel balls. This reduces centrifugal loading and skidding, so hybrid ceramic bearings can operate up to 50% faster than conventional bearings. This means that the outer race groove exerts less force inward against the ball as the bearing spins. This reduction in force reduces the friction and rolling resistance. The lighter ball allows the bearing to spin faster, and uses less energy to maintain its speed. Ceramic hybrid ball bearings have ceramic balls in place of steel balls. They are constructed with steel inner and outer rings, ceramic balls and are known as hybrids.

Full Ceramic Bearings are made entirely of ceramic material and are superior to common steel bearings in many ways. Full ceramic bearings can continue to work under extremely high temperatures and are capable to operate up to 1800 Deg. F. Ceramic is much lighter than steel and many bearings are 1/3 the weight of a comparable steel bearing. Full ceramic bearings are highly corrosion resistant and will stand up to most common acids. They will not corrode in exposure to water or salt water. And finally full ceramic bearings are non-conductive.

This wide array of features allows for application flexibility. Engineers can upgrade and downgrade machines, seamlessly integrating them into different production lines without long waiting times, maintenance and without production down times. Deep groove bearings, thrust bearings, angular contact bearings and self-aligning bearings are just some of the styles available in Full Ceramic and Ceramic Hybrid versions. Boca Bearings has one of the largest inventories of ceramic bearings in the world but can also have custom bearings made to the specifications of the customer.
