ceramic bearings

Since their invention in the 1980s, variable frequency drives (VFD) have been heavily used in industrial motors to control the frequency and voltage of power supplied to motors. This is important for several reasons. It helps save on electrical costs, it improves system … [Read more...] about Preventing Electrical Arcing in Motors with VFDs Using Ceramic Hybrid Bearings

If you’ve done any research on ceramic hybrid bearings, you’ve probably already been convinced that they are superior in almost every way to traditional steel bearings. They last longer, they allow engines to operate more efficiently, and they are electrically non-conductive. If … [Read more...] about Why Those “In the Know” Choose CBR Bearings for Ceramic Hybrid Bearings

If you have worked with industrial electric equipment for variable frequency drives (VFDs), you know that electrical arcing can be a major problem—especially when it comes to the motor’s bearings. Stray currents can use a bearing as its path to ground, which causes damage to the … [Read more...] about Eliminate Electrical Arcing and Increase Bearing Life with Ceramic Hybrid Bearings
