Key Features
Combined Radial and Axial Loads
As an angular contact ball bearing, the 7304 is designed to accommodate combined radial and axial loads. Contact angle, preload and bearing arrangement can be selected according to application requirements.
Corrosion and Chemical Resistance
ZrO₂ ceramic provides good corrosion resistance and can be considered for applications involving moisture, corrosive environments and selected chemical media.
High Hardness and Wear Resistance
Zirconia offers high hardness and good wear resistance, making it suitable for applications where conventional bearing materials may experience material degradation or wear.
Electrical Insulation and Non-Magnetic
ZrO₂ is electrically insulating and non-magnetic, making the bearing suitable for selected electrical, semiconductor, medical and precision equipment applications.
Temperature Performance
Depending on the complete bearing configuration, including cage, lubrication and operating conditions, ZrO₂ bearings can be evaluated for demanding temperature applications. TOJO indicates an approximate -200°C to +600°C range for suitable configurations.
*Actual operating temperature and speed limits should be confirmed according to the complete bearing configuration and application conditions.
Typical Applications
● Semiconductor & Cleanroom Equipment — wafer handling, vacuum mechanisms and precision equipment.
