High-precision zirconia ceramic bearing for extreme conditions and high-speed applications.
The 7306 ZrO₂ (zirconia) Angular Contact Ball Bearing is a high-precision ceramic bearing designed to excel in extreme conditions. Made of yttria-stabilized zirconia (Y-TZP), it offers corrosion and wear resistance, low density, and electrical insulation, making it suitable for demanding applications where conventional steel bearings may fall short.
With a 30 mm bore, 72 mm outside diameter and 19 mm width, this zirconia bearing is suitable for selected aerospace, medical, semiconductor and high-speed spindle applications. Its 15°–40° contact angle design provides combined radial and axial load capability with high-speed performance up to 1.5× that of steel bearings.

Key Features
Material – ZrO₂ (Yttria-Stabilized)
Yttria-stabilized zirconia provides corrosion and wear resistance, low density, and electrical insulation. Ideal for harsh environments where steel bearings would degrade.
Design – 15°–40° Contact Angle
Angular contact design handles combined radial and axial loads. High-speed capability up to 1.5× that of steel bearings. Contact angle, preload and arrangement can be selected per application.
Performance – Extreme Conditions
Operates from -200°C to +600°C with minimal thermal expansion. No lubrication needed in vacuum environments, reducing maintenance requirements.
Electrical Insulation & Non-Magnetic
ZrO₂ is electrically insulating and non-magnetic, preventing arcing damage and electrolytic corrosion in electrical, semiconductor and precision equipment applications.
High-Speed & High-Precision Capability
The lower density of ZrO₂ reduces centrifugal forces, enabling high rotational speeds with reduced heat generation. Available in high-precision grades for demanding rotational accuracy.
*Actual operating temperature and speed limits should be confirmed according to the complete bearing configuration and application conditions.
Typical Applications
● Aerospace — actuators, gyroscopes, flight control systems and lightweight instrumentation.
● Medical & Dental Equipment — surgical handpieces, CT scanners, centrifuges and precision medical instruments.
● Semiconductor & Cleanroom — wafer handling, vacuum robots and precision equipment.
● High-Speed Spindles — CNC, grinding and PCB drilling applications.
