South Coast Bearings
We are the sole UK & European importers for Worldwide Bearings USA hybrid ceramic ball bearings. Ceramic bearings offer 60% less rotating weight, 40% less friction, and last 3 to 4 times longer than steel bearings.
They are stiffer, smoother, harder, more corrosion resistant, require less lubrication & have a lower thermal expansion rate than steel bearings. This means they can run at higher speeds & have higher operating temperatures with less lubrication.
These bearings have been used in applications from roller blades right through to all forms of motorsport. Formula 1, Indy & Nascar teams, Land Speed Record bikes, NHRA & IHRA drag racing cars & bikes, Go Karts, Snowmobiles and scooters.
Wheel bearings, transmission bearings, and crank bearings are nearly always available in hybrid ceramic rather than a steel ball bearing. Only your imagination limits their application.
