Can you lubricate ceramic bearings?

Full ceramic bearings do not need lubricant to operate as the coefficient of friction of our full ceramic bearings is very low. However, lubrication can be used to keep the ceramic material from wearing down prematurely and extend bearing life.

Unsure about whether your ceramic bearing requires lubrication?

Speak to one of the team, who will advise based on the exact application in which your bearing will be used.

Our determination to remain specialised gives us a high level of product knowledge, providing bearing and lubrication solutions to existing or potential customers, whether individuals or large corporations. We don’t just sell bearings, we help to solve your problems. - Chris Johnson, managing director of SMB Bearings.
