Ceramic Bushing Lubrication

The natural insulating properties of ceramic material eliminates this type of damage.

Ceramic bushing lubrication. There are ptfe grease formulations for full ceramic bearings but they are used more in higher speed applications such as cycling. Grease and oil are common lubricants for hybrid bearings but ceramic bearings are less sensitive to fluctuations in lubrication conditions. Ceramic cermet bearings are used successfully in many oil water and process lubricated pump applications. Grease specifications are subject to application in order to decide which grease type is most applicable to your application contact unasis sales team.

Typical results include bearing surface damage premature aging of the lubricant. Grease and oil lubricants can also be added to full ceramic bearings as well as hybrids in order to change performance characteristics such as increase speed reduce ball skidding or reduce noise. Prevent electrical arcing when electrical current passes across bearings a washboard pattern appears on the raceways along with a darkened grey appearance. In applications lubricated by water or process fluid bearing materials need to be both chemically resistant to the fluid and able to operate with thin films.
