CERAMIC HYBRID SMR 104, 4x10x4 MILLIMETERS VICAN BEARING

VICAN CERAMIC HYBRID

HYBRID OPEN STRUCTURE BEARINGS WITH CERAMIC BALLS AND STAINLESS STEEL RACES (WITHOUT SHIELDING OR PROTECTIVE SEALS)

Our hybrid bearings have races (races or rings) in 440 stainless steel, cages in stainless steel 304 and balls in ceramic. In this case, the ceramic used is Silicon Nitride (Si3N4).

The benefits of this type of bearing comes from the characteristics of ceramic when compared to stainless steel. Among them, greater hardness, low coefficient of thermal expansion, lighter weight, more precision and greater resistance to corrosion, thermal shocks and impacts stand out.

The VICAN brand emerged from the evolution of this type of bearing. Our hybrid bearings have P4 - ABEC 7 precision and are already at an advanced level of development after a few years of testing and applications.

For those looking for high performance and greater durability, this is one of the best cost-benefit options due to the high rotation power by minimizing friction between materials.

The absence of protective and/or shielding seals makes it lighter and has the best rotation among our bearings.

Hybrid bearings have the advantage of being able to work “dry” in the mechanism into which they are inserted, however the use of suitable lubricants is recommended to increase the durability of the parts, reducing wear and tear between components and inhibiting possible oxidation on the stainless steel parts.

We recommend the use of our special fluids for cleaning and adequate lubrication of this type of material.
