Bearing material introduction
1.Steel Bearing Material Characteristics
Our steel bearings are made of high-hardness steel. A professional heat treatment plant can effectively control the steel, increase the toughness and life of the bearing, and have high impact resistance. The replacement cost of steel bearings is lower than that of ceramic bearings. As long as they are correctly cleaned and well-lubricated, they are very durable. Therefore, steel bearings are the most common in bicycles.
2.Hybrid Ceramic Bearings
Hybrid ceramic bearings are currently the most popular choice in the bicycle modification market. Because the exterior uses anti-collision steel bearings, the interior uses ceramic (no rust and lightweight), the advantages of the two materials can be combined, providing bicycle users with a higher-quality riding experience. Hybrid ceramic bearings are particularly suitable for outdoor muddy and wind and rain erosion environments.
3.Full Ceramic Bearing
The entire ceramic bearing race and ball are made completely from ceramic material, offering significant advantages over conventional steel bearings in many aspects. Ceramic, as a material, is ideal for applications seeking higher speeds, reduced overall weight, or operating in extreme harsh environments with high temperatures and corrosive substances.
