What Are Skateboard Bearings?
Skateboard bearings are essential components of your skateboard, allowing your wheels to turn smoothly and efficiently. These small, circular metal devices are crucial for maintaining speed, control, and durability. The most common bearing size used in skateboards, scooters, quads, longboards, and inline skates is the 608 bearing. This type features dimensions of 8mm inside diameter, 22mm outside diameter, and 7mm width.
Each skateboard wheel requires two bearings, meaning a complete set of eight bearings is necessary for your skateboard. Selecting the right wheel bearings for skateboards depends on your riding style, experience level, and the conditions you'll encounter.
Choosing the Right Bearings for Your Skateboard Wheels
Choosing the correct skateboard bearings ensures optimal performance for your skateboard. Bearings made with high-quality materials and advanced engineering provide better speed, durability, and a longer lifespan. Let’s explore the different types of bearings available and their benefits.
Steel Bearings
Steel bearings are the most common choice for skateboard wheel bearings. Made from durable chrome steel, they are hard-wearing, cost-effective, and ideal for everyday skating. However, steel bearings can be prone to rust if exposed to moisture. To extend their life, always clean and dry them thoroughly after getting wet. Steel bearings are perfect for riders looking for reliable and durable wheel bearings for skateboards at an affordable price.
Ceramic Bearings
Ceramic bearings are a premium option for skaters seeking high performance and superior speed. These hybrid bearings feature ceramic balls combined with steel inner and outer races. Ceramic balls are lighter, harder, and more durable than steel balls, making them ideal for advanced riders and high-speed applications. With less friction and a smoother ride, skateboard ceramic bearings deliver a noticeable performance upgrade for skaters who demand the best.
The ABEC Rating System
The ABEC rating system, established by the Annular Bearing Engineering Committee (ABEC) of the American Bearing Manufacturers Association (ABMA), measures the precision and tolerances of ball bearings. This rating helps skaters understand the potential speed and efficiency of their bearings. Higher ABEC ratings indicate greater precision and performance.
-
ABEC 1: Least expensive and least precise. Suitable for beginners or casual riders.
-
ABEC 3: Moderately priced, offering better precision than ABEC 1. Good for budget-conscious skaters.
-
ABEC 5: The standard for most skateboard bearings, offering excellent speed, durability, and affordability.
-
ABEC 7: High-performance bearings designed for faster speeds and advanced riders.
-
ABEC 9: Premium bearings that deliver exceptional speed capabilities, ideal for downhill skating and advanced applications.
