Our extensive coating portfolio includes Black Oxide, HardCoat, CorroCoat, and SlipCoat. Each coating has been specifically engineered to address distinct challenges, offering benefits like enhanced durability, reduced friction, and increased resistance to wear. These coated bearings are designed to outperform standard alternatives, ensuring a longer lifespan and higher level of reliability in industrial applications.
The Benefits of CeramicSpeed’s Coatings
Superior Protection for Harsh Environments
The Black Oxide coating is a versatile solution that enhances corrosion resistance and guards against abrasive wear, making it suitable for extreme conditions involving exposure to dirt, moisture, and chemicals. Its strong bond to the bearing surfaces ensures long-lasting protection, preventing failure caused by harsh environments. Black Oxide is especially beneficial for applications that demand reliable performance in high-contaminant settings.
Durability in Extreme Stress
HardCoat is specifically engineered to handle heavy loads and abrasive conditions. This coating enhances surface hardness, allowing bearings to withstand the extreme conditions found in industries like mining and construction. With increased embeddability, HardCoat effectively manages contaminants, protecting the bearing surfaces and extending operational life. It is an essential upgrade for equipment operating in dust-filled or high-impact environments.
Resistance to Moisture and Corrosion
In moisture-rich environments like food and beverage production, CorroCoat provides exceptional corrosion resistance and is able to withstand the extreme conditions. Its durable protective layer ensures that coated bearings maintain their performance despite frequent washdowns and exposure to humidity. The combination of CorroCoat’s protective properties and CeramicSpeed’s precision engineering makes it a reliable solution for industries requiring hygienic, corrosion-resistant bearings.
Innovative Dry Film Lubrication
SlipCoat is a groundbreaking solution that enables bearings to operate with intermittent dry lubrication or no lubrication at all. Developed in response to a specific customer challenge, CeramicSpeed’s engineers innovated SlipCoat to achieve exceptional performance in environments where even a single drop of lubricant is unacceptable. SlipCoat-treated bearings are tested to run more than 6,000 hours of operation without lubrication, maintaining excellent performance and reliability. Read more about our latest SlipCoat test here.
