Ceramic machied components for ball bearings
Ceramic machied components for ball bearings
(OP)
I would like to have custom axial thrust bearing made up in ceramic for non conductive reasons. Plastic not good enough. I know standard bearings are available however I need thrust washer flat without ball groove.
It is easy enough to get ceramic balls however the thrust washer is proving more difficult.
ID 12mm OD 22. 10,000 RPM, 20 N load.
Can anyone recommend supplier of custom ceramic components who would have the knowledge and expertise to make up parts?
thanks

I ran pad type thrust bearings. Some were Kingsbury and some we had made by Coors. We worked with both fixed and tilting pad types. SiC and BC were our favorites.

We had a lot of custom ceramic parts fabricated by Zircoa.
There are several caveats with using ceramic components as you propose. No shock, either thermal or mechanical, no thin sections, Watch your lubrication.
