Faqs:
  • What are ruby bearings made of?
    Ruby bearings are made from synthetic ruby, a single-crystal form of aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃) doped with chromium for its distinctive red color and superior hardness.
  • Why use ruby bearings instead of metal bearings?
    Ruby bearings have superior wear resistance, lower friction, and better stability under temperature changes compared to metal bearings, leading to longer service life and higher accuracy.
  • What industries rely on ruby bearings?
    Industries such as horology, aerospace, medical devices, robotics, and precision instrumentation use ruby bearings for their accuracy and reliability.
