New Avid RC Motor Bearing Line

Press Release from Avid Racing Concepts:

Avid RC has updated their motor bearing lineup which is designed to improve performance and increase lifespan in RC motors. We use chrome steel rings that are polished to a mirror-like finish to reduce noise and vibration, and maintain a very tight ABEC7 tolerance to minimize play in the bearing. In our ceramic versions, we use silicone nitride ceramic balls (Si3N4) for a smooth, slippery surface. All of our motor bearings also feature a nylon cage instead of metal, which prevents expansion under heat for improved performance. Additionally, we use high-speed oil for low-friction rotation and metal shields to reduce contact on the races and protect against debris.

Specifications:

• ABEC7 tolerances allow the rotor to maintain its location while under loads.
• Deep groove chrome steel 52100 rings with a premium surface finish, smoother than stainless steel for better performance.
• Nylon cage instead of metal so there is no expansion from heat, keeping friction to a minimum.
• Silicone nitride ceramic balls (Si3N4) for a perfectly rounded slippery ball (*ceramic versions only*).
• Lubricated with high-speed AeroShell light oil.
