Description

​​Ruby Bearing Abstract

​​Customized Ruby Bearings Mohs Hardness 9 for Precision Instrumentation​​

A ruby bearing is a sliding bearing made from synthetic corundum (aluminum oxide, Al₂O₃), precision-machined into spherical, conical, or straight-hole structures. It is widely used in precision instruments, watch movements, and high-sensitivity equipment. Its core functions include reducing friction between metal components, enhancing operational precision and service life, and offering corrosion and high-temperature resistance.

Ruby Bearing Key Features​

1. Material Properties​​

  • ​​High Hardness​​: Mohs hardness of 9, Knoop hardness of 1,800, far exceeding metal bearings in wear resistance.
  • ​​Low Friction Coefficient​​: Static friction coefficient ranges from 0.10–0.15 (vs. 0.35 for brass against steel), significantly reducing energy loss.
  • ​​Corrosion Resistance​​: Stable crystalline structure of alumina ensures resistance to acids, alkalis, and oxidation in harsh environments.

2. ​​Performance Advantages​​

  • ​​High-Temperature Tolerance​​: Withstands temperatures above 800°C, with low thermal expansion and excellent thermal stability.
  • ​​Lubrication-Free​​: Naturally smooth surface eliminates the need for long-term lubrication.

3. ​​Application Adaptability​​

  • ​​Low-Load Scenarios​​: Designed for lightweight, high-sensitivity applications such as watch escapement mechanisms and meter pointer pivots.
  • ​​Customizability​​: Supports spherical, conical, and straight-hole geometries to meet diverse mechanical requirements.

​​Ruby Bearing Applications​

1. Watch Movements​​

  • Critical components like balance wheel pivots and escapement wheels reduce friction and improve timekeeping accuracy (17–25 jewels in a typical mechanical watch).

2. ​​Precision Instruments​​

  • Used in galvanometers, gyroscopes, and micrometers to ensure stable and sensitive pointer movement.

3. ​​Military and Aerospace​​

  • High-precision navigation instruments and gyro-stabilized platforms operating in extreme temperatures and vibrations.
