Q: Do ceramic bearings offer significant weight savings overtraditional steel bearings?
…balls are ceramic. Full ceramic bearings however do offer a significant weight savings by about 2/3 the weight of traditional steel bearings. Unfortunately full ceramic bearings…
Q: I am going through a lot of clutch bell bearings, what can you recommend to get longer life?
…steel balls to expand and subjects the retainer to a tremendous amount of stress, as a result the bearings fail prematurely. The best solution is to use a bearing with a ball that…
Q: What kind of performance enhancement should I expect from ceramic bearings?
…a ceramic bearing as compared to a standard bearing. This is because ceramic is harder than steel in ball form; it is 3-4 times the Rockwell hardness of a steel ball. As far as…
Q: What is an ABEC Rating?
A: Precision ball bearings are manufactured to standards established by the Annular Bearing Engineers Committee (ABEC) of the American Bearing Manufacturers Association (ABMA). The…
Q: What does Radial Play mean?
…of the balls in the bearing. The normal range is from C2 to C5. C2 would be the tightest fit and would not have much room allowed for expansion of the balls or misalignment.…
Q: I prefer to buy a bearing kit that is maintenance free aspossible. Which bearing kit is the least maintenance intensive?
A: Rubber sealed bearings will always offer the most protection and be the most maintenance free.
Q: How do I calculate the amount of side or thrust load that a bearing can take?
A: Typically a radial bearing can take 5% of its Radial Load in a Thrust Load capacity.
Q: How do your different RC bearing lines compare to the stock bearings that came pre-installed. How much longer will they last?
A: Unfortunately there is never an explicit warranty with bearings. Bearings do eventually wear out and every application, setup and operator is different. It is very difficult to…
Q: Are greased bearings lubed for the life of the bearing?
A: No, traditional steel bearings always need lubrication to have a long life and lubrication will always be reduced over time as it will dissipate with use. How fast the…
Q: Are Orange Seal Bearings maintenance free?
…retain it in the bearing even with seals. The seals will prolong the use of the bearing before re-oiling however. It is advisable to regularly maintain your bearings, by doing so…
Q: How much maintenance do bearings require?
…lubricants your bearings have. Rubber sealed or Ultra sealed bearings require no maintenance and the lube is good for the life of the bearing. Metal shielded bearings that use…
Q: Do full ceramic bearings need lubrication?
A: No, full ceramic bearings can be run completely dry. They do not need lubrication to run. Ceramic is non-porous, unlike steel, as a result it is virtually frictionless. Ceramic…
