2 Stroke Ceramic Bearings

I know that in industrial applcations they are extensively used for high rpm s turbines and where electrical isolation is needed or where pitting of metal bearings is.

2 stroke ceramic bearings.

C lube is a thermally cured dry film lubricant designed to provide high pressure lubrication to surfaces subject to sliding rotating or oscillating motion such as piston skirts and gears. Ceramic hybrid bearings are widely used as a performance upgrade in two and four stroke racing motorcycle engines. Rolling resistance is the key trump card promoted by ceramic bearing fans. Rev s like a two stroke.

While regular bearings are made from stainless steel ceramic bearings are made from ceramic silicon nitride si2n4. C lube dry film ceramic lubricant combines the durability of a ceramic resin with the lubricity of a ceramic lubricant. Farking expensive and sooo worth it. The coating is also designed to aid in the more even transfer of heat reducing hot.

The crf came alive with just the bearing swap. The catalog that i have posted above only shows applcations of ceramic bearings in turbo chargers and some other parts of vehicles where lubrication conditions are marginal. Yamaha r1 these are microblue ceramic bearings in my yamaha r1 front wheel. It s normal for full floating rotors.

In this video i show you an old karting trick slip fitting crankshaft main bearings to reduce friction and increase power. Impressive spin time and very little friction the clicking noise you hear is the full floating brake rotors. Because ceramic bearings are rounder with a smoother surface and more uniform size friction is reduced and that can contribute to a less energy required. The typical performance gain when using ceramic hybrid bearings is approximately 5 due to decreased friction which results in less heat build up.
