- In my high-speed machining days we were faced with a similar problem as spindle speeds approached a gazillion SFPM. We tried all kinds of materials in the bearings, but silicon carbide (ceramic) wor

- Karl, do you mean that the bearings used ceramic rollers and/or races? What sort of lubricant was used? What sort of impact resistance do ceramic bearing elements have? And what sort of rotational an

- Thanks all for the replies. Due to close relationships with one of my old sponsors, we have been looking at precision bearings and oil lubrication. Ceramic is certainly a possibility but at this poin

- We used ceramic rollers, stainless races (440 C). For retainers, the best were PEEK, Torlon and Vespel. Both oil mist and grease were used for different applications (milling vs. grinding spindles).
