Q: If I leave my ceramic hybrids dry will they wear faster?
A: Yes, while ceramic hybrid bearings do not need any lubrication to operate the steel races will have a longer life if they have a slight amount of lube on a regular basis.
Q: What is the best water proof seal?
…entering the bearing if it is submerged. If you require a bearing that can operate submerged in a liquid, we would suggest a ceramic hybrid or full ceramic bearing depending on the…
Q: Do ceramic bearings offer significant weight savings overtraditional steel bearings?
A: Ceramic hybrids that have steel races and ceramic balls do not offer a significant weight savings as only the balls are ceramic. Full ceramic bearings however do offer a…
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: Do full ceramic bearings need lubrication?
…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 also…
Q: Do full ceramic bearings need lubrication?
…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 also…
Q: Can the seals be removed from lightning ceramic bearings for maintenance?
A: Depending on the bearing size and our current inventory this will vary from bearing to bearing. The best thing to do is contact us and let us know the make and model of your…
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 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: 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: What kind of performance enhancement should I expect from ceramic bearings?
…general ceramic bearings are lighter, stronger and faster. Typically you will see about 2-3 times the life out of a ceramic bearing as compared to a standard bearing. This is…
Q: How do I properly spin test my fishing reel bearings before installation?
…to the bearing. The flick test seems to result in a perception that a ceramic bearing does not spin as long as a steel bearing, but as soon as you put both bearings under load…
