Si3N4 Silicon Nitride Ceramic Self-aligning Ball Bearings are designed to correct misalignment and ensure optimal performance under varying operational conditions. These bearings utilize a double-row design with a spherical outer raceway, allowing the balls and inner ring to adjust to alignment errors. Made with advanced Silicon Nitride (Si3N4) ceramic, they are ideal for applications requiring high precision, low friction, and superior durability.
