►Performance testing of CAEC silicon nitride ceramic balls:
Density, hardness, vibration value, crushing load, fracture toughness.
►Product features of CAEC silicon nitride ceramic balls:
I. Excellent friction performance
1. Since the affinity of steel/ceramic matching is lower than that of steel/steel, when the lubricating film is not formed well or lacks lubrication, the lower affinity can effectively reduce the risk of adhesive friction.
2. Due to the high hardness of the ceramic ball, in the case of severe friction, the ceramic ball has good dimensional and shape accuracy retention and repairability to the groove to ensure the bearing running.
II. Small spin-to-roll ratio
Compared with steel bearings, the spin-to-roll ratio of ceramic ball bearings is about 30% lower, indicating that ceramic ball bearings have better contact conditions and lower spin friction.
III. Low temperature rise
Less heat; Small deformation; Low coefficient of friction; Small centrifugal force and gyro torque.
