Faqs:
Why are ruby bearings preferred for precision instruments?
Ruby bearings offer exceptional hardness, low friction, and high wear resistance, making them ideal for precision and long-term durability in mechanical systems.
Do ruby bearings require lubrication?
Generally no. The polished crystal surface provides naturally low friction, allowing lubrication-free operation in many applications.
Can ruby bearings withstand extreme environments?
Yes. Ruby is chemically inert and highly resistant to corrosion, extreme temperatures, and humidity, making it suitable for aerospace, laboratory, and industrial environments.
