Ceramic bearings optimise the industry – by CeramicSpeed Bearings

A growing number of companies are increasingly aware of the cost saving opportunities available when using ceramic bearings (aka hybrid bearings). These bearings are the best choice as part of the production optimisation and have proven to be the route to more efficient production.

Denmark-based manufacturer, CeramicSpeed Bearings, recognised the potential of ceramic bearings years ago. The company has experienced huge growth rates, and many industries benefit today from using the high quality CeramicSpeed bearings, convinced by their opportunities to lower operating costs. The company has specialised in hybrid bearings for the last 15 years and is now one of the leading companies in the world within ceramic bearings. The philosophy behind the company is to deliver a complete range of LongLife hybrid bearings offering the industry real opportunities for improving the production uptime and increasing their competiveness.

All components in the CeramicSpeed ball bearings are optimised for extremely high quality including cage, races grease and balls. This means that the CeramicSpeed bearings deliver the highest quality available on the market. The company produces a complete assortment that contains all types and sizes of ball bearings. Offering advantages that result in fewer maintenance intervals and better production efficiency.

Insulate: Suitable For electrical motors and similar applications
Xtreme: Effective in contaminated environments
CorroTec: Corrosion resistant bearings
HighTemp: Endurance at temperatures up to 3500C

Hundreds of industrial companies have already achieved significant reduction in their operating costs by optimising with CeramicSpeed bearings. Companies are moving away from the traditional approach of replacing bearings on a regular basis, and are now using bearings that last.

Bearing lifetime is key to improved production efficiency The CeramicSpeed bearings have a lifetime, which is 4-8 timers longer than the standard bearings normally used in the industries today. In fact, 99.4% of the CeramicSpeed ball bearings last at least 4 times longer, and in 50% of these cases they last 8-20 times longer. This means that the increased investment in CeramicSpeed hybrid bearing solutions is, on average, returned within the 1st or 2nd replacement of a traditional bearing.

The cost of the bearings themselves is often minor in comparison to the costs of the machines in which they are installed. This applies equally in the case of new equipment, and in the operation and maintenance of existing equipment. Normally, the costs of standard bearing maintenance can be many times higher than the cost of the bearing itself. We combine bearing optimisation with an extended lifetime, thereby providing a potential for significant savings.

CeramicSpeed balls are made of Silicon Nitride. This is an important element of the CeramicSpeed bearings that beat steel bearings in every way. There are only a few manufacturers in the world capable of meeting these demands. We combine these high-tech components with our expertise on how the ceramic balls, together with the rest of the bearing, can generate significant improvements.

Bearings that provide solutions when other bearings give up CeramicSpeed bearings provide solutions for a wide range of applications, including operating environments with high levels of contamination from water, dust and metal. The bearings are also problem solvers where conditions are subject to frequent start/stops or fast acceleration.
In operating environments with high temperatures, vibrations, shocks and bumps, with inadequate lubrication and where stray current occurs you will find that CeramicSpeed ball bearings have a significantly longer lifetime, and thereby generate economic benefits.

CeramicSpeed is a specialist within its field and has a production setup, which enables quick deliveries for both standard and special demands.
