Nine Star JXKJ Ceramic-Coated Ball Bearings
2015-10-23We discussed the main three different types of ball bearing materials in an earlier post.
We know that ceramic bearings are more resistant to corrosion, lighter in weight, nonconductive, and can
operate in temperatures of up to 1,800 degrees Farenheit. This range of characteristics make ceramic
bearings versatile and valuable.
Ceramic bearings additionally offer up less noise and vibration compared with steel ball bearings.
Today, we’re going to do an overview of a specific product, the ceramic-coated ball bearings offered by
trusted bearings manufacturer, Nine Star.
Product Overview
Nine Star JXKJ has a major stake in power generation from wind turbines, and the growing demand for
innovative technology in that sector has to do with bearing innovation.
As a major supplier, Nine Star JXKJ is forefront in providing bearing solutions that deliver outstanding
levels of reliability, heat resistance, and long life.
So, if the bearing application you’re working on produces a high-rate of bearing damage, and/or machine
failures caused by electrical corrosion – in the generators of wind turbines, for example – Nine Star’s
ceramic-coated ball bearings may be the solution to your problem.
These ceramic-coated ball bearings have high insulation resistance, and prevent deterioration by electrical
corrosion.
What starts out as steel ball bearings are plasma sprayed, ensuring the ceramic is properly bonded to the
bearing’s steel. Then, acrylic resin is used to further seal the coating.
Features and Benefits
- Ceramic-coated steel bearing ring
- Thickness of the ceramic coating is optimized
- Nine Star’s plasma spray process ensures long-term durability
- Insulation capability is optimized by the acrylic resin layer which seals the coating
- Cost-efficiency is maximized due to increased bearing life
- High insulation resistance
- Lesser cost than hybrid bearings
- Due to the elimination of costly manufacturing processes pure ceramic balls require.
- No special preparation of the housing bore is needed
- The thermal conductivity is unaffected between bearing and housing
Applications
- Electric Motor
- Electric Drive
- Wind Turbine
- Generator
- Traction Motor
