- Components exhibit superior tribological properties
- Weighs 60% less than steel with significant friction reduction
- Provides high contact fatigue resistance
- Offers temperature resistance up to 1100°C
3M™ Silicon Nitride Cylindrical Roller Components offer high compressive strength, contact fatigue resistance, electrical resistivity and a low coefficient of friction. These properties make them an effective alternative to larger steel bearings in certain high-stress applications, including racecar gearboxes and machine tool spindles.
3M™ Silicon Nitride Cylindrical Rollers offer high compressive strength, contact fatigue resistance, electrical resistivity and a low coefficient of friction. These properties make them an effective alternative to larger steel bearings in certain high-stress applications, including Formula One racecar gearboxes and machine tool spindles. Not only do 3M silicon nitride rollers operate at lower noise levels than steel rollers, but they can also run at higher speeds with reduced friction – resulting in improved reliability and longer component life.
