Indron® ceramic bearings for pump and marine, developed by Techemer Corporation, are engineered to meet the rigorous demands of hydro-turbine pumps and marine environments. These water-lubricated ceramic bearings offer exceptional wear and corrosion resistance, making them ideal for applications where traditional steel bearings may fail.

Ceramic Bearings Features and Advantages

INDRON ceramic bearing technology is leading the industry, and its advantages of wear resistance and corrosion resistance are more and more popular in the mining and chemical industries.

• Superior Corrosion Resistance: Ceramic materials such as silicon nitride (Si3N4) and zirconium oxide (ZrO2) exhibit excellent resistance to corrosion, particularly in marine environments where exposure to saltwater is common. This ensures prolonged bearing life and reliable performance

• High-Temperature Stability: Ceramic bearings maintain their integrity under high-temperature conditions, preventing cold welding and wear failures associated with high-speed, heavy-load operations. They can operate without pre-lubrication, simplifying maintenance and enhancing reliability.

• Reduced Friction and Wear: The inherent properties of ceramic materials result in lower friction coefficients compared to steel, leading to reduced rolling resistance, decreased energy consumption, and extended service life.

• Lightweight Design: Ceramic bearings are significantly lighter than their steel counterparts, reducing the overall weight of machinery and contributing to improved efficiency and performance.

• Electrical Insulation: The non-conductive nature of ceramic materials prevents electrical currents from passing through the bearings, eliminating the risk of electrical erosion and extending bearing lifespan.
