Q: What kind of performance enhancement should I expect from ceramic bearings?
…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 performance is concerned, a ceramic bearing…
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: I am going through a lot of clutch bell bearings, what can you recommend to get longer life?
…the 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…
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: 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: 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: How do I properly spin test my fishing reel bearings before installation?
…under load. Fishing reel bearings are relatively small and ceramic is much lighter than steel so there is just not enough mass to see a prolonged free spin without a load attached…
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: Do full ceramic bearings need lubrication?
…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 dissipates heat very quickly,…
