The Benefits of Hybrid Bearings in Electric Vehicles
Electric vehicles (EVs) demand high-performance components that can withstand high speeds, electrical currents, long durability, and which cause a minimum of efficiency losses. CeramicSpeed hybrid bearings are designed to meet these challenges, enhancing durability, efficiency, and reliability.
Protection Against Electrical Currents – Extended Service Life
Stray currents in EV drivetrains can cause premature bearing failure due to electrical discharge between parts. The non-conductive ceramic balls in our hybrid bearings eliminate this risk, significantly extending bearing life and ensuring reliable operation.
High-Speed Capabilities – Lower Operating Temperatures
High-performance EV motors run at extreme speeds, generating heat that can reduce efficiency and component life. CeramicSpeed hybrid bearings, with their lightweight ceramic balls, reduce internal forces and friction, enabling higher speeds with lower operating temperatures.
High Efficiency – Increased Battery Range
Friction is a major factor in energy loss. The friction coefficient between steel and ceramic is just 25% of that between two steel surfaces, allowing our hybrid bearings to minimize energy loss, maximize drivetrain efficiency, and extend battery range.
Enhancing EV Performance
With superior durability, reduced maintenance needs, and higher efficiency, CeramicSpeed hybrid bearings help manufacturers build more reliable and energyefficient EVs. Optimized for high-performance applications, they contribute to a smoother, longer-lasting, and more sustainable mobility solution.
