Ortech Hybrid Skateboard Ceramic Bearing with Ceramic Rolling Elements Promote Optimized Performance and Longer Life.

Ortech hybrid Skateboard Ceramic Bearing combine silicon nitride (ceramic) rolling elements with steel rings to serve as lighter, harder, and more durable alternatives to conventional all-steel counterparts.  These bearings can run at higher speeds and lower operating temperatures, offer inherent insulating properties, and exhibit superior wear-resistance for optimized performance and longer service life.

Hybrid ceramic balls are 40% less dense than steel balls for reduced centrifugal force and friction, enabling them to run faster and cooler; harder than steel for enhanced wear resistance against hard particles, contaminants, and vibration; and highly inelastic for increased bearing stiffness and reduced deflection under load to promote reliable performance.  Additionally, these hybrid bearings provide enhanced service life compared with all-steel bearings under poor lubrication conditions.
