CeramicSpeed Ceramic Ball Bearing 6007/CSB.C3

These CeramicSpeed Ball Bearings are Bearings like No Other!

The CeramicSpeed Balls used in all CeramicSpeed bearings are proven to be 4 times smoother than a steel ball, which puts them into a league of their own when it comes to reduced friction in the bearing. And a bearing that is exposed to less friction will have an increased lifetime. Within the go-kart and motocross disciplines that use ball bearings in the engines, this can mean remarkably less engine bearing replacements and service.

More power and longer service life!
CeramicSpeed ball bearings - one of Jay's Secrets.
Within Motocross, there are numerous effects of a CeramicSpeed Bearing upgrade. Increased power and engine service life are among the most obvious benefits.

With a CeramicSpeed Ball Bearing in a Motocross engine, you will benefit from increased stiffness. Additionally, the lower rotating weight will lead to faster acceleration and the low friction caused by premium quality ceramic bearings will increase the lifetime of the engine bearings, and thus the service life.

CeramicSpeed Bearings are built with ceramic balls. Whilst ceramic might give the impression of fragile porcelain – this is a different ball game. These balls are made of the highest quality Grade 3 Silicon Nitride, featuring the highest achievable surface finish and roundness. CeramicSpeed Balls feature unparalleled impact strength, smoothness and roundness – which determines the performance and lifetime of a bearing.

In motorsport disciplines, the quality of the balls is crucial for the bearing’s ability to resist impact when placed in the wheel hubs or cause fast accelerations when placed in an engine.

Due to the surface of the balls and their ability to resist impact, CeramicSpeed Balls – and therefore CeramicSpeed Bearings – perform better than the rest. After 600 hours of testing, a CeramicSpeed Ball is in perfect condition, compared to other ceramic balls where the surface is rough and rugged after only 10 hours. Consequently, a ball with a rough surface creates increased friction and wears the races of the bearing down quickly.

CeramicSpeed Balls vs. Steel Balls
This picture shows two ¼" (6.35 mm) balls. The one to the left is a CeramicSpeed Ball and the one to the right is a standard steel ball. We applied the same pressure to both balls and the result is clear; the steel ball simply cracked under the load, while the CeramicSpeed Ball is 100% intact and perfectly usable.
