Ball Bearings suit large variable-speed motors.
Press Release Summary:
Series MRC Hybrid Ceramic Ball Bearings provide natural insulating properties, preventing electrical arcing, and resisting wear. They combine traditional steel rings matched with silicon nitride balls, making them lighter, harder, and more durable than steel counterparts. They are 40% less dense than steel balls for reduced centrifugal force and friction. Bearings are inelastic for stiffness and reduced deflection under load.

New MRC Hybrid Ceramic Ball Bearings Offer Performance Advantages Over Standard Steel Types
KULPSVILLE, PA, February 26, 2003 - New hybrid ceramic ball bearings from MRC Bearing Services offer key performance benefits over standard steel ball bearings by preventing electrical arcing (and resultant damage to balls and raceways), resisting wear, running at higher speeds and lower operating temperatures, and promoting extended service life.
MRC hybrid ceramic ball bearings combine traditional steel rings matched with silicon nitride (ceramic) balls, making them lighter, harder, and more durable than steel counterparts.
Ideal for large variable-speed electric motors, they provide natural insulating properties to prevent electrical arcing, which can cause fluting-pattern surface damage to raceways, often resulting in excessive noise and bearing replacement. MRC hybrid ceramic ball bearings eliminate both the potential damage and related maintenance procedures and costs.
MRC hybrid ceramic ball bearings are 40% less dense than steel balls for reduced centrifugal force and friction, enabling them to run faster and cooler; harder than steel for enhanced wear resistance against hard particles, contaminants, and vibration; and highly inelastic for increased bearing stiffness and reduced deflection under load to promote reliable performance.
A wide range of MRC hybrid ceramic bearing types are available. CAD drawings can be downloaded free from the web site. Made-to-order (MTO) warranted products can be developed to meet customized application demands.
