Ceramic bearings have higher hardness and brittleness compared to traditional steel bearings. Although ceramic materials themselves have good hardness and wear resistance, they are relatively more fragile.
When ceramic shafts are subjected to strong impact or bending forces, their high brittleness may lead to bearing fracture or damage. Therefore, when using ceramic bearings, it is necessary to operate more carefully.
To reduce the risk of damage to ceramic bearings, the following aspects can be considered:
1. Avoid impact: Ceramic bearings should be avoided as much as possible from impact or severe vibration, especially during installation and operation.
2. Prevention of landing or collision: When handling ceramic bearings, it is important to ensure that they do not accidentally land or collide with hard objects to avoid damage.
3. Correct installation and maintenance: Follow the manufacturer's instructions and recommendations, install and maintain ceramic bearings correctly, and ensure that they are properly lubricated and maintained.
Although ceramic bearings are relatively fragile, they can still provide good performance and lifespan in a suitable usage environment. Therefore, in practical applications, it is necessary to choose appropriate bearing types and materials based on specific needs and conditions.
