Ceramicspeed

How it all began
In 1998, Jacob Csizmadia broke the world record for 24hr inline skating – using skates equipped with ceramic ball bearings. Two years later, he introduced ceramic bearings to professional cycling. A winning mentality is how it all started, and it’s this guiding principle that continues to drive us forward.

In 2001, Jacob went on tour with Team CSC where ceramic bearings were used at the Tour de France for the very first time.

After this success, CeramicSpeed was founded, and we started producing hybrid bearings in Holstebro, Denmark, for both sports and industrial applications.

Using technology developed as part of NASA’s space program in the 1990s, our hybrid bearings are made with top-grade silicon nitride ceramic balls, making them 58% lighter and 30-50% faster than traditional steel bearings. The production of each ball takes from 50 to 70 days, but the result is worth the wait.

The knowledge from bicycle bearings was the launch pad into industrial applications, and we work with global manufacturing companies across an array of sectors to achieve operational savings that allow them to remain competitive and continue to grow. In 2014, CeramicSpeed received FDA certification, producing the only bearings in the world with approval for direct contact with food products.

Your CeramicSpeed product is covered by a lifetime warranty on all coated or SLT bearing products and OSPW cages, and a 4-year warranty on standard products
