  • Publication number: 20190331167
    Abstract: Two hybrid ball bearings and a compressor bearing arrangement with two hybrid ball bearings for a rotatable support of a rotor of the compressor versus a stator of the compressor. The two hybrid ball bearings are arranged face-to-face or back-to-back, are configured with an optimal axial clearance depending on the inner diameter of a ring-shaped inner raceway element one of the hybrid ball bearings respectively a pitch diameter of one of the two hybrid ball bearings for a long bearing life in connection with an optimal compressor operating performance.

  • Publication number: 20190186541
    Abstract: A Hybrid rolling bearing includes an inner raceway and an outer raceway and a plurality of rolling elements arranged therebetween. The outer raceway and the inner raceway are made from bearing steel, having a first surface RMS roughness Rq1. The rolling elements are made from a ceramic material and have second surface RMS roughnesses Rq2,i. At least one of the rolling elements has an increased surface RMS roughness Rq2,N, which is significantly higher than the RMS roughnesses Rq2,i, of the remaining rolling elements. The hybrid rolling bearing can be installed within a refrigerant compressor.
