All ceramic thrust bearing material: The thrust washer and ball are made of ceramic materials, including ZrO2, Si3N4, or SiC. Hybrid ceramic thrust bearing material: The thrust washer material can be chromium steel or stainless steel. The ball is ceramic and can be ZrO2, Si3N4, or SiC. The inner diameter range of ceramic thrust ball bearings is from 3mm to 120mm, including finished grinding raceways. The production models include various ceramic thrust bearings such as the 511 series.

Ceramic thrust bearings have been put into practical use. It can be used well on machine tool spindles, under high-speed and high load conditions. Due to its excellent corrosion resistance and wear resistance, ceramic materials can function in freshwater, seawater, and other environments. Ceramic thrust bearings are also special bearings that can withstand axial forces. In environments that are not conducive to steel bearing loads, zirconia or silicon nitride all ceramic thrust ball bearings and ceramic balls can be well handled. Due to its non-magnetic nature and unique properties of the material itself, ceramic thrust ball bearings can still operate in high-temperature environments without lubrication.

Compared with ordinary bearings, ceramic thrust bearings have higher load-bearing capacity and better lubrication performance, and their service life is also extended by 50%. Ceramic thrust bearings have maximum rotational speed, low temperature rise, and high rigidity. It also partially compensates for the shortcomings of traditional bearings in terms of structure and support methods. Ceramic thrust bearings, as core components, are widely used in rotating machinery that can withstand axial heavy loads, such as compressors, pumps, internal combustion engines, hydraulic turbines, and ship propulsion shaft systems.
