Ceradyne material knowledge and manufacturing capabilities are used to produce custom and commodity products for solving materials related problems in diverse environments.

• Bearing and Rolling Elements
  The use of silicon nitride in hybrid ball bearings reduces friction and improves bearing reliability.
  
  
  • Check Valve Balls
    Silicon nitride check valve balls are used to extend the life of sucker rod pumps.
  • Hybrid Ball Bearings
    High strength and contact fatigue resistance are attributes of silicon nitride ball bearings.
  • Roller Bearings
    Silicon nitride roller bearings run at higher speeds with reduced friction.
    
    
• Paper Processing
  Ceradyne ceramics solve wear related problems during the paper making process.
  
  
• Mineral Processing
  Advanced ceramics improve the performance of components in mineral processing
  equipment.
