Q: What is the best water proof seal?
A: There is no true water proof seal for bearings. Bearing seals are primarily designed to retain the lubrication inside the bearing. Most bearing seals are considered water…
Q: If I leave my ceramic hybrids dry will they wear faster?

Q: What kind of performance enhancement should I expect from ceramic bearings?
A: Unfortunately every operator, setup and operating environment is very different so it is difficult to quantify an exact improvement in performance. But in general ceramic…
Q: What is the performance difference between the following threetype of bearings: Ceramic Metal Shield, Ceramic Yellow Seal andCeramic Ultra Seal?
A: Ceramic Metal Shield bearings are metal shielded and offer the least resistance of the three. These bearings need frequent cleaning but will give you the best performance. Not…
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: What kind of maintenance do sealed bearings require?
