Ball Bearings
Saturday, May 31st, 2008Over the past five decades, the life of ball bearings has greatly increased. In fact, from its 1973 levels, the life span has improved a hundred times. This is partly due to the use of vacuum-induction-melted, vacuum-arc-remelted (VIM-VAR) AISI M-50 steel and improved oil filtration for angular contact ball bearings. An enhancement in the composition […]
Skateboard Bearings
Saturday, May 31st, 2008Like any contraption with wheels, skateboards have bearings too. Although considered a professional sport, manufacturing skateboards and their parts are still largely influenced by street culture. The bearings are the metal inside the wheels that bear all the weight of the person and the skateboard combined but also provide for maximum movability. Good bearings are […]
