As manufacturing demands intensify in sectors such as semiconductor fabrication, aerospace, and vacuum deposition equipment, traditional bearings often face premature failure due to lubricant breakdown and material degradation under extreme conditions. CHG’s high-temperature bearings are expertly engineered for ultra-high vacuum environments and extreme heat resistance, delivering reliable, long-lasting performance where standard bearings cannot operate.
Engineered for High-Temperature and Vacuum-Compatible Applications
CHG high-temperature vacuum bearings feature advanced self-lubricating sintered alloy spacer joints composed of porous metal materials. These spacers store and gradually release solid lubricants (MoS₂) during operation, making our bearings ideal for cleanroom environments and applications where oil-based lubrication is ineffective or prohibited.
Key Technical Specifications and Benefits
Heat resistance up to 350°C , ideal for high-temperature vacuum applications
Vacuum resistance down to 10⁻⁶ Pa , suitable for ultra-high vacuum (UHV) environments
Up to 8 times longer service life compared to conventional oil-lubricated bearings
Oil-free, maintenance-free operation with solid lubrication
Resistant to ion bombardment and thermal cycling in thin film deposition processes
Materials and Construction for Durability and Clean Performance
Component | Material Description |
Inner & Outer Rings | Martensitic stainless steel — heat and corrosion resistant |
Balls | Martensitic stainless steel with MoS₂ solid lubricant coatin |
Cage / Spacer | Porous sintered alloy spacer joints for solid lubricant releas |
Lubricant | Solid lubricant: Molybdenum Disulfide (MoS₂) |
Shields | Austenitic stainless steel — dust-proof, corrosion resistant |
The unique sintered alloy spacers provide a continuous supply of solid lubricant, ensuring smooth, long-term operation even in the harshest vacuum deposition and semiconductor manufacturing environments.
