INDRON® ceramic bearing technology leads the industry, with its wear
resistance and corrosion resistance becoming increasingly popular
in the mining and chemical industries. - High Hardness and Wear Resistance: Materials are harder than steel,
providing better wear resistance and longer lifespan.
- Low Density: Lighter than steel, reducing overall weight and
lowering energy consumption.
- High-Temperature Stability: Maintains structural integrity at high
temperatures, suitable for high-temperature applications.
- Corrosion Resistance: Resistant to corrosion, ideal for chemical,
marine, and food processing industries.
- Low Thermal Expansion: Better shape and clearance retention,
suitable for precision applications.
- Electrical Insulation: Non-conductive, suitable for electric motors
and generators.
- Low Friction: Reduces energy loss and heat generation, improving
efficiency.
- High-Speed Capability: Operates at higher speeds, ideal for
high-speed machinery and precision instruments.
- Minimal Lubrication Requirements: Can operate with minimal
lubrication or in dry conditions, reducing maintenance needs.
These characteristics and advantages make ceramic bearings an ideal
choice for mining equipment, automobiles, industrial machinery,
medical equipment, aerospace and other fields requiring high
performance and reliability. COMMON GUIDE BEARING MATERIALS Bearing type | INDRON bearing | AR bearing | Ceramic bearing | Rubber bearing | Babbitt alloy bearing | Characteristics | The performance is close thordon, which can use more equipment
assembly methods. In addition to traditional installations by
freezing and pressurizing. It can also be installed by coating
reactive thermal polymerization Dx and cold sticking. | Good wear resistance and impact resistance. The bearing hardness is
high; the shaft sleeve is easy to wear; the temperature difference
changes greatly; there will be the risk of shelling; the price is
high. | Wear-resistant, heat-resistant, corrosion-resistant, lubricated by
pump circulating water, capable of dry grinding for a short time,
high requirement on accuracy in processing and assembly, fragile
and the most expensive. | It has a long history and mature manufacturing process, featured by
wear resistance, anti-seismic, impact resistance, convenient
assembly/disassembly and low price (only 20% of ceramic bearings
price) | Wear resistance and impact resistance require a set of more
complicated sealing and lubricating devices and mechanisms. | Lubricating requirements | Clean water can be used for lubrication or 150s dry start according
to the material grades. | Dry start more than 180S without clean water lubrication. | It can be lubricated by pumping medium without special clean water
lubrication. | Clean industrial water | Grease lubrication requires a grease supply lubrication system. | Working temperature | ≤70ºC | ≥273ºC | The bearing itself can withstand the temperature of 1,400ºC | ≤50ºC | ≤65ºC Short time up to 80ºC | Application site | For pumping stations short of clean water or pumping stations
requiring short-term dry friction, hRBR grade is suitable for water
quality with moderate sediment content. | Pumping stations without clean water or pumping stations requiring
dry friction of more than 180S. | Pumping stations without clean water or pumping stations requiring
short-term dry friction. | Extensive application in any pumping stations with clean water
sources. | The liquid of the pump itself cannot be used for bearing
lubrication in the pumping station. | Bearing type | INDRON bearing | AR bearing | Ceramic bearing | Rubber bearing | Babbitt alloy bearing |
