One of the Best Ceramic Ball Bearing Companies Isn’t the Biggest
CBR Bearing is a relatively small bearing company when compared to the “big boys” like Boca, SKF, NSK, and Koyo, but we were among the first to recognize the immense benefits of ceramic ball bearings and begin manufacturing and selling them.

Need a Specialty Product Like Hybrid Ceramic Ball Bearings? Go to a Specialty Manufacturer

In Ceramic Hybrid Ball Bearings, the Ceramic Makes All the Difference

Many people are aware of their benefits, but some aren’t aware that all of these types of bearings are not created equal—especially when it comes to their ceramic balls. The reliability and performance of a ceramic ball bearing depends heavily on the quality of the ceramic balls being used in it and the process by which they are manufactured. What Should You Look for in the Ceramic … [Read more...]

Dynamometer Company Trusts CBR for Hard-to-Find Ceramic Hybrid Bearings
Last year, CBR was contacted by a new customer—a company that manufactures large dynamometers for heavy industrial applications, and for clients in the aerospace industry and for large energy and utility companies.
