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.
