As the demand for ball bearings that can run dry - without oil or grease - continues to grow across various industries. Manufacturers face increasing pressure to meet these unique requirements. This trend is driven by a combination of factors, such as the risk of contamination in sensitive products or the need for bearings that can withstand environments of hostile and organic materials.

Industries such as food production, pharmaceuticals, packaging, and petrochemicals are particularly concerned with contamination risks and the need for corrosion-resistant solutions. Traditionally, these industries have had limited reliable options when seeking bearings capable of dry operation. At CeramicSpeed, we have recently conducted a series of tests to explore how our hybrid and full-ceramic bearings perform under dry-running conditions, providing a solution that meets the stringent demands of these sectors.
