The CeramicSpeed LongLife Xtreme product series are bearings designed for application in contaminated environments, where particles can penetrate the bearing and affect the bearing
performance. Characterised by unmatched hardness, the CeramicSpeed Balls tolerate a high degree of contamination, crushing the particles that penetrate into the bearing races. The
CeramicSpeed Balls are also highly resistant against water and detergents, because Silicon Nitride does not corrode.
The LongLife Xtreme bearings can also be manufactured and optimised specifically for slow applications. These applications match special machines where a bearing without full rotation
is needed. This product category is ideal for processors characterised by many starts/stops, and where the longest bearing service life is wanted.
Benefits from using CeramicSpeed LongLife Xtreme
• 4-8 times longer service life
• Lower energy consumption
• Extreme resistance to contamination
• Lower friction – the friction coefficient between the CeramicSpeed Balls and the races is reduced by 75 %
• Reduced wear and tear – fewer seizures on the bearing races
• Lower operating temperature – 10-20 °C lower than steel bearings
• Higher RPM (open bearings) – typically 50 % over steel bearings
• Reduced need for lubrication
• Grease type and quantity optimised for the specific application
• Reduced operating costs due to the bearings’ longer service life
• Better machinery uptime that ensures higher competitiveness
