Now that could be interesting for a submersable aplication, however I
would think that the teflon race would be a bit soft.

And I can't see anything 'cheap' about them compared to steel ball and
roller berings. Otherwise the automotive industry would be all over
them.

I'm wondering how they would dissipate heat. I'm thinking, for example,
of boat trailer bearings. Does the oil or grease in a heavy duty axle
bearing help spread the heat around?

I remember the old Mastercraft trailers it was my luck to assemble at my
father's boat store. What a pain in the ass that was. But the axle
bearings were sealed. No rubber dams, no oil caps. At the end of the
season, you pulled the bearings, dumped them in a vat of gasoline to
clean them off, repacked them if they were okay, and sealed them back up
into the axle.

This from someone who tries to make people think he actually took some
mechanical engineering courses!!!!! That's THREE engineering gems from
him this week!!!!!

While cleaning the place for visitors next week, I came across a bag
full of ceramic bearings, ie, bearings in races where the bearings
themselves are ceramic and the races seem to be teflon. I forget why
we bought them but for salt water apps, they'd be great. Supposedly do
not need lube. So, can anybody think of any apps for similar bearings?

Yep, lube free, heat resistant, and so smooth that there is a power
savings over steel ball bearings.

You can get them for fishing reels.

Why would they be beneficial in a fishing reel?

Because surface wise, they are very, very smooth, even compared to
steel ball bearings. Less friction, smoother, quieter, less heat.

What size are they? Large (as in large enough to replace bearings in a
winch)...small (as in a fishing reel)? Blenders? Drills? Fan motors?

So these aren't just the bearings, but the race and assembly, too?

Hmmm. I don't remember checking the loogy box:

As a point of fact, I did take a couple of university engineering course
when we lived in Florida. From those three courses, I am sure I have
more formal engineering education that you do. No one as dumb as you
are, and with your perseveration and blinders problems can be much of a
thinker. As you prove here daily.

That makes sense, but then again... Unless you have one of those
fishing reels that are the size of an oil drum where the expensive of
the bearings are minimal, I dont' think you'll find them in a Zebco
202.


Would you?

Only idiots used gasoline! Had to be a crappy operation to not have a
solvent tank. While in high school, working in Richfield station, my boss
stated to never use gas to clean. He took a couple months to replace the
hair loss from using gas is why he was adamant about using solvent..

Well, then please do explain your previous diatribe about heat
dissipation. Especially the remark about grease "spreading the heat
around".
