hybrid bearings (steel races with CERBEC® ceramic
balls) is continuing to grow. Many of Saint-Gobain Ceramic customers
have experienced sales growth due to replacing conventional steel
bearings with hybrid ceramic, incorporating CERBEC®
balls. |

Genuine CERBEC®
balls in hybrid bearings offer lower thermal expansion, smoother
surface, increased hardness and stiffness, lighter weight, and
corrosion/electrical-resistant properties. Hybrids offer 40% less
friction and 60% less rotating weight. The lighter weight enables
drivers to achieve higher speeds, which is critical for racing
performance. Additionally, bearings using CERBEC®
ceramic balls require less lubrication and less maintenance, while
attaining longer life.
Key Benefits
- Lower thermal expansion
- Lighter weight
- Corrosion/electrical resistance
- Less friction
