Silicon Nitride Ceramic
Silicon Nitride balls are non-corrosive, anti-magnetic and excel in low noise, high rigidity, and high load carrying applications. These balls can be run dry in a vacuum environment and up to 500° F without lubrication.
Features
- Well suited for medical and test applications
- A 60% reduction in weight
- Up to two times the material hardness for tight tolerances
- A coefficient of thermal expansion that is 70% less than steel
- A temperature operating range up to 1800° F
- Silicon nitride balls are non-corrosive, anti-magnetic, and excel in low noise, high rigidity, and high load carrying applications.
Applications
- High end bearings
- Ball screws
- Valves
- Aero space bearings
- Windmill bearings
- Used where high wear, corrosion resistant, high temp and no lubrication needed.
