Hybrid ceramic bearings have traditional 52100 steel or stainless steel rings with ceramic silicon nitride si3n4 balls.
Ceramic hybrid ball bearing research paper.
This paper presents a high speed high precision spindle system with hybrid ceramic bearing along with its lubricant design and numerical calculation method.
Dry run hybrid bearings have already been successfully employed.
Material of bearing ccomponents in advanced hybrid ceramic bearings.
In addition to being excellent electric insulators hybrid bearings have a higher speed capability and will provide longer service life than all steel bearings in most applications.

A green and viscosity controllable water based fluid as lubricant of the spindle was designed.
Viscosities as a function of temperature were tested.
The recently published hybrid ceramic ball bearings market research report offers an unabridged assessment of this industry vertical with respect to the key growth catalysts challenges and opportunities affecting the business expansion.
A key for this is the combination of corrosion resistant steels with si3n4 table 1.
In addition to being excellent electric insulators hybrid bearings have a higher speed capability 1 2 1 5 time limit of rotations compared to steel bearing and will provide longer service life lower friction and a lower level of energy consumption than all steel bearings.
Mrc hybrid ceramic ball bearings use a combination of traditional 52100 steel rings precision matched with silicon nitride ceramic balls.
