Are ABEC 9 skateboard bearings good?

ABEC 9 and higher bearings would be ridiculous to use in a skateboard unless you are doing downhill luge-style skating or something else where your goal is to go insanely fast. If you aren’t spending a fortune on these bearings, then don’t trust that they are, in fact, ABEC 9.

What is better ABEC 9 or 7?

ABEC includes five tolerances classes: 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 with 1 being the widest and 9 the tightest. Thus, bearings with a higher ABEC rating have tighter tolerances, and that means better precision, higher efficiency, and the potential to accommodate applications requiring high speeds.

What size are ABEC 9 bearings?

Rating: ABEC 9. Industry standard size: 608 with a 8mm core, 22mm outer diameter, and 7mm width. Pre-lubricated for a smooth, fast ride.

What is the fastest skateboard bearing?

Bronson Speed Co are dedicated to their name. They advertise their bearings as the fastest, strongest, longest lasting, longest spin skateboard bearings ever made.

Are ABEC 9 bearings good for scooters?

This means any bearing rated ABEC 9 is the fastest and has the highest effectiveness when put to work. Replacing your old, worn-out bearings with new ones will enable your scooter to continue rolling smoothly and quickly, giving you exceptional riding experience.

Whats the difference between ABEC 7 and ABEC 9?

The ABEC rating system includes grades 1,3,5,7, and 9. The higher the ABEC rating, the tighter the tolerances are, making the bearing a more precision part. High precision and small tolerances are required for bearings to function at very high RPM, in products like high speed routers that must spin at 20 to 30,000 RPM.

What does ABEC stand for?

Annular Bearing Engineering Committee
ABEC is an acronym for Annular Bearing Engineering Committee of the AFBMA (Anti- Friction Bearing Manufacturers Association Inc.). The ABEC grades of bearings are a set of standards for the manufacturing tolerances of bearings. All quality manufacturers around the world manufacture to at least ABEC 1 standard.

What does ABEC mean on bearings?

Annular Bearing Engineers Committee
The purpose of the ABEC committee (Annular Bearing Engineers Committee) is not to test every manufacturer’s bearings and proclaim them good or bad, but to establish dimensions, tolerances, geometry, and noise standards for bearings in an attempt to aid industrial bearing manufacturers and users in the production.
