Low Friction Ceramic Bearings

As a result ceramic ball bearings are well known for providing low levels of resistance and low frictional torque.

Low friction ceramic bearings.

Ceramic also has a lower amount of thermal expansion which also reduces temperatures. Ceramic bearings simply put. 6000 series ceramic ball bearings. A lighter running bearing is a better bearing.

6900 metric series ceramic ball bearings. Low friction low heat high performance increased longevity and more. Low friction racing ceramic and steel bearings this is our master bearing list it is based on the bearing number marked on your bearing. For this reason manufacturers are constantly looking for improvements.

Low drag racing ceramic bearings prices from 30 00 1000 call to order. Checkout ceramic bearings for motorcycles snowmobiles and go karts. We have pioneered the use of ceramic ball bearings in the competition eliminator class and have had zero problems. 6200 series ceramic ball bearings.

Ceramic bearings are a good option for low torque applications. Ceramic bearings have gotten a bad start in the drag racing world. The material has a low coefficient of friction so these bearings can be used without lubrication. Ceramic balls require less lubrication and have a greater hardness than steel balls which will contribute to increased bearing life.

A tiny percentage reduction in friction here can equate to a worthwhile power saving but when you re only turning at 300 rpm as you do on a bicycle a small percentage increase in efficiency will make a negligible change to your power output. Bearings run cooler and vibration levels are lower at high rpm. Why we are not obsessed with building the lightest running bearings reading any post about bearings in the cycling media it seems that the quality of bearings is only measured by friction tests. They ceramic bearings do run with less friction which offers a significant advantage in industrial applications running at 20 000 rpm.

Or in other words. 1600 metric series ceramic ball bearings. Because ceramic is a glass like surface it has an extremely low coefficient of friction and is ideal for applications seeking to reduce friction. The problem never was the bearing.

Cooler running ceramic bearings have no micro weld adhesion between the balls races which means lower friction.
