Ceramic coated bearings racing. King s pmaxkote is a new approach to coated bearings. Bearings are for use with round end supported shafts. It contains ceramic nano composite particles that function as a fourth layer that provides superior build protection. Like all ceramicspeed bearings our coated products are handbuilt in denmark.

For technical drawings and 3 d models click on a. They are self aligning to compensate for shaft misalignment and have end seals to keep lubricant in and dirt out. Our legendary ceramic nitride pro series silicon nitride differential balls and ceramic rc ball bearings stunned the rc racing scene with pure ceramic silicon nitride bearings not ceramic coated steel balls achieving a 79 weight savings and even greater durability hardness and smoothness than tungsten carbide balls. The ceramicspeed balls and steel races are matched to the micron after which each set of races is coated.

Not for use with ceramic coated aluminum or 300 series stainless steel shafts. Building a coated bearing adds a number of extra steps to the process.
