ProTek RC 2.5x6x3mm Associated/TLR Precision Caged Thrust Bearing Set (Ceramic)

Advantages of Ceramic:

• High Speed: Ceramic differential balls can reach a resistance level of 1,200,000dN with grease lubrication, due to reduced slip, wear extent and heat productivity.
• Lightweight: The weight of ceramics is 60% lighter than steel, which decreases the centrifugal force and overall weight.
• Long Service Life: The service life of ceramic balls is 3 to 5 times longer than that of steel in comparable working conditions.
• Self Lubricating: Even when poorly lubricated or with no lubrication, ceramic differential balls will continue to function longer than steel under the same level of stress due to their self lubricating properties.
• Corrosion Resistance: Ceramic differential balls have excellent corrosion resistance, and will continue to function while corroded.
• High Rigidity: The elastic ration of ceramics is 1.5 times greater than that of steel, this dramatically increases the rigidity of the balls.
• Low Friction: Ceramic materials have a low friction force. Even under the conditions of boundary lubrication, the surfaces are extremely smooth, so its friction force is low and the rotational friction moment is low.
• Wear Resistant: The micro-hardness of ceramics can reach a Vickers Hardness level of HV1700 kg/mm2, which dramatically increases the wear-resistance.
