Q: What kind of maintenance do sealed bearings require?
A: All of our sealed bearings are considered maintenance free and lubed for the life of the bearing. This is because they are packed with a heavy duty, lithium based grease. When…
Q: How long does it take to break in a bearing?
…the lube thins out, and warms up during each use, the bearing will become much freer. So all you need to do is to use the bearing normally and it will break in naturally. The more…
Q: What is the best way to maintain my bearings?
A: 1) Soak your bearings in mineral spirits or paint thinner to remove any grease or particulates. 2) Blow bearing out with compressed air. 3) Place a light drop of oil on the…
Q: Do your bearings come with a warranty?
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: How do I remove my shields or seals?
A: For fixed metal shields you should use an awl. Place the awl on the shield toward the outer race. Punch down lightly until you make a small hole. Then peel the shield back with…
Q: Should I remove the shields or seals from my engine bearings?
A: If your front bearing has two rubber seals you should not remove them. These bearings have their own grease and can help stop oil leaks. If your bearing has two shields, we…
Q: How much maintenance do bearings require?
A: Maintenance depends on the type of enclosures and lubricants your bearings have. Rubber sealed or Ultra sealed bearings require no maintenance and the lube is good for the life…
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…
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?
A: Radial Play refers to the fit or clearance 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…
Q: How do I properly spin test my fishing reel bearings before installation?
A: We always suggest testing ceramic bearings by putting them under load. Fishing reel bearings are relatively small and ceramic is much lighter than steel so there is just not…
Q: What kind of performance enhancement should I expect from ceramic bearings?
…friction. Ceramic bearings will also not micro-weld due to insufficient lube or arcing. All of these characteristics add up to a better performing vehicle that can accelerate…
