Material Properties: Si₃N₄ provides high hardness (15-16 GPa), low density (3.2 g/cm³), and corrosion resistance, reducing friction and wear.
Operational Benefits: Suitable for high-speed (e.g., machine tool spindles), high-temperature (up to 800°C), and electrically insulating environments.
Applications: Widely used in wind turbines, aerospace, and semiconductor manufacturing due to lightweight and durability.
Hybrid designs balance cost (metal rings) and performance (ceramic rolling elements), meeting ISO 26602 precision standards (G5-G10).

Silicon Nitride (Si₃N₄) Hybrid Ceramic Bearings – Technical Overview
Hybrid ceramic bearings integrate silicon nitride (Si₃N₄) rolling elements with high-grade steel or stainless steel rings, delivering exceptional performance in extreme conditions.
Key Features & Benefits
- Material Superiority
- Si₃N₄ Properties: Ultra-high hardness (HV 1500-1700), low density (3.2 g/cm³), and thermal stability (up to 800°C).
- Corrosion Resistance: Inert to acids, alkalis, and saltwater, ideal for marine/chemical applications.
- Performance Advantages
- Speed & Load: 30% higher DN value (speed × bore diameter) than steel bearings; reduced centrifugal force.
- Friction Reduction: 40-60% lower friction vs. all-steel bearings, enhancing energy efficiency.
- Electrical Insulation: Prevents arcing in motors/generators (resistivity: ~10¹⁴ Ω·cm).
- Applications
- Industrial: Precision spindles (machine tools), wind turbine shafts, semiconductor equipment.
- Emerging Tech: EV drivetrains (mitigating electric pitting), hydrogen pumps (H₂ embrittlement resistance).
- Standards & Reliability
- Complies with ISO 26602 (ceramic ball grades: G5-G10) and ABMA/ANSI standards.
- Fatigue life exceeds steel bearings in cyclic loading (L10 life: ~2× longer).
Why Choose Hybrid Design?
Balances cost (metal rings) and performance (ceramic rolling elements), offering a 50% longer service life in harsh environments compared to conventional bearings.

→COMPANY PROFILE
Wuxi Xinwei Rolling Element Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is dedicated to the research, development and production of bearing-related products. Since its establishment, the company has always adhered to the concepts of innovation and giving top priority to quality, gradually making a name for itself in the industry.
The company mainly produces silicon nitride bearing ceramic balls, silicon nitride rollers and ceramic bearings. By adopting the advanced hot isostatic pressing technology, it ensures that the products have a uniform internal structure and stable performance. The large-circulation grinding process effectively improves the product precision and reduces the surface roughness. Thanks to the application of these two core technologies, the products have a much higher cost-performance ratio than those of peers, winning the recognition of well-known companies such as Schaeffler.
In terms of application fields, the company's products are widely used in wind power generation bearings, contributing to the development of the clean energy industry. They can meet the requirements of lightweight and high performance for drone bearings. They are also suitable for new energy vehicle bearings, providing a reliable guarantee for green travel. In high-precision grinding machine bearings, they also ensure the stable operation of the grinding machines with their excellent performance.
