 What are ABEC Ratings?

ABEC ratings are a system used to measure the precision and tolerances of bearings.

The ABEC scale ranges from 1 to 9, with higher numbers indicating higher precision.

Bearings with higher ABEC ratings can spin faster, with less vibration and noise, but also come at a higher cost.

Bearings with an ABEC rating of 3 are the most common and are used for most applications.

Bearings with higher ratings are usually necessary for applications that require high-speed performance or precise operation.

What makes up a skateboard bearing?

C-ring:

A C-ring on a skateboard bearing is a metal or plastic ring that is placed around the bearing on the skateboard wheel.

The C-ring helps to keep the bearing from becoming loose over time, which can cause the wheel to become unstable and difficult to ride. 

The C-ring also helps to reduce friction between the bearing and the wheel and can therefore improve the speed and responsiveness of the skateboard.

The C-ring is an important component of a skateboard and should be checked and replaced regularly to ensure the best possible performance.

Bearing Shield:

A bearing shield is a great way to keep your skateboard bearing in top condition.

This product helps to protect your bearings from dirt, dust, and moisture that can cause premature wear and tear.

It also helps to keep your bearings running smoothly and quietly by providing a thin layer of lubricant on the bearing surfaces.

The bearing shield is easy to apply and is an affordable way to keep your skateboard bearing performing at its best.

Outer ring:

The outer ring on a skateboard bearing is an important component of the overall bearing assembly.

It is the outermost part of the bearing and is usually made of metal.

It is responsible for keeping the ball bearings in place and providing a smooth and consistent ride. 

 

The outer ring also helps to reduce friction and wear as it helps to keep the ball bearings in place while riding.

The outer ring is also responsible for providing a secure fit to the axle of the skateboard.

It is important to make sure that the outer ring is properly lubricated and in good condition for optimal performance.

Inner Ring:

The inner ring of a skateboard bearing is a crucial component that helps to keep the bearing spinning.

It is a metal ring located inside the bearing, usually made of steel or chrome.

The inner ring helps to hold the balls of the bearing in place and keep them evenly distributed so that the bearing can spin smoothly and efficiently.

The inner ring also helps keep dirt and debris out of the bearing, prolonging its lifespan and performance.

Steel balls:

The steel balls in a skateboard bearing are essential for providing a smooth ride for the skateboarder.

They are installed in pairs to ensure a consistent and smooth ride over long distances.

The steel balls are also able to withstand high levels of stress and wear and tear, which is important for a skateboarder who needs to navigate through a variety of terrains. 

 

The steel balls are also able to spin with a greater degree of accuracy than other materials, helping to provide a more precise ride.

The steel balls also help to keep the skateboard bearing in good condition for longer, making them a great choice for skateboarders who want to get the most out of their skateboard.

Ball Retainer:

The ball retainer on a skateboard bearing is a small piece of plastic or metal that holds the small steel balls in place inside the bearing.

It is an essential part of the bearing, as it prevents the balls from coming loose and rattling around, which can lead to a decrease in performance and bearing life. 

 The ball retainer is usually a small, disc-like piece that fits snugly in the bearing.

It is usually made from a durable material such as nylon or metal and is designed to last for the lifetime of the bearing.

Rubber seal:

The rubber seal on a skateboard bearing is an important component that helps keep dirt and other contaminants from entering the bearing and damaging its components.

The seal is made of a durable rubber material which helps it to provide a snug fit and keep contaminants out.

It also helps to keep the bearing lubricated, improving its performance and extending its life. The seal also helps to minimize friction and noise, making the skateboard run more smoothly.

 

Skateboard bearing material quality

• Steel bearings

Skateboard steel bearings are typically made from either stainless steel or chrome steel. While stainless steel is a superior material for bearing construction, chrome steel is the most common material used in skateboard bearings, and is the industry standard. 

• Ceramic bearings

Skateboard ceramic bearings are designed to provide better performance than traditional steel bearings.

They are made of a harder and more durable material and offer a much smoother ride with less friction.

Ceramic bearings are also much lighter than steel bearings, so they can be used to help reduce weight on a skateboard.

The ceramic material also helps to reduce heat buildup, which can reduce the wear and tear on the bearings.

 

Bearing options

• Bearing spacers

Bearing spacers are used to provide a space between two bearings that are mounted in a single housing.

They are used to maintain a specific distance between the two bearings, reduce friction and wear, and reduce heat buildup.

They are typically made from metal or plastic and come in a variety of sizes and shapes.

 

• Speed washers

Speed washers are a great bearing option for high-speed applications.

They are designed to reduce friction and heat buildup, allowing for smoother operation and longer life.

They are made of lightweight materials, making them lightweight and easy to handle. T

hey are usually made of stainless steel, which is corrosion-resistant and extremely durable.

Speed washers are a great option for bearings that require a high degree of precision, speed, and reliability.
