Key Benefits
When a spindle "crashes" excessive loads are imparted to the bearing, and bearing performance is compromised. In some instances, steel bearings will seize after a spindle crash because the steel-on-steel contact causes severe micro-welding of the steels. Because silicon nitride does not react with steel, micro-welding problems are eliminated and often, bearings can "speed down" after a crash, saving many other costly spindle repairs.
