Genuine CERBEC® silicon nitride balls are used in Automotive applications
to improve Bearing Performance. CERBEC balls are lighter, stiffer, smoother, harder,
corrosion resistant, require less lubrication and have lower thermal expansion than
their steel counterparts which allow bearings to run at higher speeds, higher
operational temperatures with less lubrication. CERBEC balls are extremely durable.

Key Benefits
|
Example: Formula One Racing
CERBEC balls are currently being used in demanding wheel bearing and gear box
applications for Formula 1 Racing primarily for weight reduction and lubrication life extension.
A typical Formula One Car may contain up to 60 high performance bearings.
Bearings made with CERBEC balls allow for operation at high speeds and extreme temperatures with minimal lubrication. CERBEC balls also weigh 60% less than traditional bearing steels, thereby reducing the overall weight and drag.
