Ceramic bearings vs abec 9.
German engineered inner outer races along with a new and more advanced black ball ceramic formula provides you with a lighter smoother and faster ride far superior to any other bearings on the market.
Abec 9 and higher bearings would be ridiculous to use in a skateboard unless you are doing downhill luge style skating or something else where your goal is to go insanely fast.
With its abec 9 rating one can instantly confirm that the mini skater precision 608 zz bearings are among the most precise skateboard bearings available in the market at present.
If you aren t spending a fortune on these bearings then don t trust that they are in fact abec 9.
Back in the 80 s they had to sort bearing lots to get the abec 3 and abec 7 bearings.
In addition the bearings are also very quiet when rolling in many types of wheels.
Abec and other rated bearings.
Abec ratings annual bearing engineers committee 1 3 5 7 and 9 were meant to provide a good better best sort of metric but chuck panaccione from enduro bearings says this.
Abec stands for annular bearing engineering committee the committee that rates bearings all over the world in this system the scale uses odd numbered levels 1 3 5 7 and 9 with 9.
Higher abec ratings don t necessarily equate to longer faster spin speeds.
Abec only grades tolerances not materials hardness or smoothness of components.
The abec is the dimentional tolerances.
The best skateboard bearings.
However a skateboard with 54mm wheels turning 20 000 rpm will be traveling.
In an application like this an abec 7 or 9 bearing rating may be appropriate.
The bearings are abec 9 rating which meets the top precision you could have asked for.
Abec 9 synopsis ceramics will provide you with the ultimate in smoothness and bearing performance.
There s a lot of mislabeling and misinformation in the bearing market.
The abec tolerance does cover out of roundness and for this reason i would use abec 3 or better.
It makes use of chrome steel material which is a big advantage as it is known to be not only durable but also resistant to possible deformities caused by heavy loads.
Almost any bearing with the country of origin on the bearing except for china will be abec 3 or better.
