Follow on Google News | RC Bearings To lubricate or not to lubricate?This article is about the debate about lubricating RC helicopter bearings which has been on the RC news groups for long, this is my personal opinion.
By: Essam Iskander As for the RC, the bearings are powered by motor (either electric or engine) and in both ways you cannot vision the friction associated except with the generate heat, the less the friction the less the heat generated and the more the bearing life span, and of course the more the friction the more the heat generated and the less the bearing span, here is the factors that decrease/increase friction. 1- ABEC rating, the more the ABEC rating, the less friction you will get 2- Material of rings/balls/ 3- lubricant usage, the better lubricant the less friction I would you use ABEC-7 hybrid ceramic bearings that has silicon nitride balls and nylon low friction retainer you can find them at http://www.vxb.com/ Would you use lubricant?, that's your call! # # # With an efficient operation and more than a million bearing, VXB.com bearings has served the industry supplying all kinds of ball bearing End
