CoorsTek develops and manufactures high-performance Cerbec ceramic bearing elements including bearing balls, roller blanks, and custom components. Hybrid and all-ceramic bearings that use Cerbec improve operation and extend service life for severe-service applications in energy, automotive, aerospace, and a wide range of machinery & equipment applications.
Why choose Cerbec bearing components?
Ceramic bearing balls are ideal to replace steel in applications which demand superior performance in harsh conditions. Cerbec® materials are lighter, stiffer, smoother, harder, corrosion resistant, and require less lubrication. Durable Cerbec bearing components also perform well in extreme temperatures and deliver a longer service life.
Lower total operating cost
Smoother surface & better geometry
Harder & stiffer than alloys
Thermal stability & low CTE
Corrosion & electrical resistance
Lighter weight – low inertia & friction
What are Cerbec bearing components made of?
CoorsTek has engineered advanced ceramics specifically for bearing applications. Cerbec bearing components use proprietary CoorsTek silicon nitride compounds — delivering the ultimate combination of durable mechanical strength, thermal stability, corrosion resistance, dielectric properties, and value for hybrid and all-ceramic bearings. Multiple grades are available to provide the best value for your application.
Where are Cerbec bearing components used?
Hybrid and all-ceramic bearings with Cerbec balls and rollers are used in all kinds of demanding applications – across a range of sizes and conditions including ...
Automotive & aerospace powertrains
Turbomachinery & pumps
Wind turbines
Dental & medical drills
Chemical processing
Precision machine spindles
