Method for manufacturing a hybrid rolling bearing, and hybrid rolling bearing

Abstract

Disclosed is a method for manufacturing a hybrid rolling bearing (1), wherein the hybrid rolling bearing (1) comprises at least one set (6) of ceramic rolling elements (4), at least one inner ring (10) made from bearing steel, and at least one outer ring (10) made from bearing steel, wherein the method comprises the following steps disassembling (S3) a used hybrid bearing (1) having at least one set (6) of ceramic rolling elements (4), at least one inner ring (8), and at least one outer ring (8), collecting at least one ceramic rolling element (4) from the set (6) of ceramic rolling elements (4), cleaning (S4) the collected ceramic rolling elements (4), providing at least one mint inner ring (10) made from bearing steel and/or at least one outer ring made from bearing steel (10), selecting (S6) at least one ceramic rolling element (4) of the cleaned ceramic rolling elements (4), assembling (S7) a new hybrid rolling bearing (1) using the at least one selected ceramic rolling element (4), and the at least one mint inner ring (10) made from bearing steel and/or the at least one outer ring (10) made from bearing steel.
