for from nke, the insulating layer is applied to the outer ring or the inner ring by plasma-spraying, a thin-film technology. during , an electric arc is created between two electrodes with a suitable gas supply. the plasma jet serves as a carrier medium for applying the aluminium oxide powder () either to the outer or inner ring at high velocity. in order to obtain optimum protection the oxide layer also covers the side faces of the sprayed rings. in the next process step, the layer is then sealed to prevent any penetration by moisture.
in the case of ac voltage the capacitive nature of the is advantageous. the bearing then behaves in approximately the same way as a parallel circuit consisting of a resistor and a capacitor with a frequency-dependent resistance, called impedance. the impedance determines the magnitude of the alternating current that flows through the bearing for given values of voltage and frequency. here too, the impedance should be as high as possible in order to reduce the current to a level that is incapable of damaging the bearing.
to achieve high impedance values, the resistance of the must be high and its capacitance must be low. this can be achieved by making the insulating layer as thick as possible and by reducing the overall insulation surface area. when transferred to the bearings, this means that this layer should preferably be applied to the bore of the inner ring. however, the coating is usually applied to the outer diameter for reasons of cost and due to the constraints of the manufacturing process. in most cases, this still results in more than adequate protection against damage from electrical corrosion. another important property of the coating is its dielectric strength. depending on their version, the bearings from have a dielectric strength of at least 1000v or 2000v.
