Ceramic Bushing Lubrication

The natural insulating properties of ceramic material eliminates this type of damage.

Ceramic bushing lubrication.

Ceramic cermet bearings are used successfully in many oil water and process lubricated pump applications. Grease and oil are common lubricants for hybrid bearings but ceramic bearings are less sensitive to fluctuations in lubrication conditions. In applications lubricated by water or process fluid bearing materials need to be both chemically resistant to the fluid and able to operate with thin films. There are ptfe grease formulations for full ceramic bearings but they are used more in higher speed applications such as cycling.

Prevent electrical arcing when electrical current passes across bearings a washboard pattern appears on the raceways along with a darkened grey appearance. Lubrication all bearings whether steel or ceramic require lubrication. Given the lower speed and load the bearings will be subject to in a mount you should be fine running them dry. Grease specifications are subject to application in order to decide which grease type is most applicable to your application contact unasis sales team.
