Low Friction Ceramic Bearings

Our low friction deep groove ball bearings can help to reduce friction by up to 30.

Low friction ceramic bearings.

Low friction low heat high performance increased longevity and more. Ceramic balls require less lubrication and have a greater hardness than steel balls which will contribute to increased bearing life. Ceramic also has a lower amount of thermal expansion which also reduces temperatures. 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.

Because ceramic is a glass like surface it has an extremely low coefficient of friction and is ideal for applications seeking to reduce friction. Bearings run cooler and vibration levels are lower at high rpm. The problem never was the bearing. 6000 series ceramic ball bearings.

Low drag racing ceramic bearings prices from 30 00 1000 call to order. Low friction racing ceramic and steel bearings this is our master bearing list it is based on the bearing number marked on your bearing. We have pioneered the use of ceramic ball bearings in the competition eliminator class and have had zero problems. 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.

If your bearing says 6203 then click the 6000 series button below to display all of that bearing series available. A lighter running bearing is a better bearing. Low friction sealed bearings frictional losses are a major contributor to reduced fuel efficiency. For this reason manufacturers are constantly looking for improvements.

They ceramic bearings do run with less friction which offers a significant advantage in industrial applications running at 20 000 rpm. Checkout ceramic bearings for motorcycles snowmobiles and go karts. 1600 metric series ceramic ball bearings. The material has a low coefficient of friction so these bearings can be used without lubrication.

6900 metric 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. 6200 series ceramic ball bearings.

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