ABEC 7 Bearings – Pink – Impala Skate.
What kind of bearings do Impala skates have?
58mm 82A durometer nylon core urethane wheels. ABEC 7 bearings.
How do I know what size bearings I need for my skates?
How do I tell what size bearings are in my wheels?
- Look at the stamping on the shield of your existing skate bearing. Most will be stamped with 608.
- You can also tell by the size of the wheel nut. A 9/32″ nut will indicate a 7mm bearing.
- Take a number 2 pencil using the eraser side of the pencil.
Are all rollerskate bearings the same size?
Are bearings the same for all types of skating? The main skate bearing size is called a 608 bearing. This is the same size bearing for roller skates, inline skates, roller derby skates, skateboards, and scooters.
Are there different size skate bearings?
Regardless of wheel size, all skateboard bearings are the same size and will fit any skateboard wheel that Warehouse Skateboards sells. The universal measurements for bearings are 8mm (core), 22mm (outer diameter), and 7mm (width). Skateboard bearings are sold in sets of eight, as each wheel requires two bearings.
What are ABEC 7 bearings?
ABEC 7 bearings are also referred to as “Super Precision Bearings” and are equivalent to ISO P4. These bearings are specifically designed for machine tool applications. Typically they are purchased in matched sets or quad sets. HST always uses ABEC 7 or ABEC 9 (Super High Precision, ISO P2) bearings.
What size is a 608 bearing?
8X22X7mm
Miniature Ball Bearings 608 – 8X22X7mm Description
The 608 is a 8 mm Ball Bearing that can be used in many rotary and factory automation applications. The 608 Miniature Ball Bearings is an open style bearing.
Do bearings fit all wheels?
Skate bearings consist of 5 major parts: the shield, the inner race, the balls, the retainer, and the outer race. A skateboard requires a set of 8 bearings, 2 for each wheel. Almost every skateboard bearing is the same size and will fit on any skateboard wheel and truck.
Is ABEC 7 or 9 better?
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.
Are roller skate bearings interchangeable?
For the most part, yes. Most roller skates and skateboards use the same size bearings (608Z, I believe) although some roller skates use bearings for 7mm axles, rather than 8mm, which is far more common.
How often should you replace roller skate bearings?
every 1-3 months
When: Depends on several factors, but usually every 1-3 months. Why? Skate bearings help your wheels roll freely, but the more you skate, the more debris gets stuck in the bearings and causes friction—the opposite of what you want!
Can you reuse bearings roller skates?
You can breathe some new life into an old set of bearings by just taking them apart and doing a good cleaning on them then putting them back together.
How do I choose a bearing?
Summary: How to Choose a Bearing
- Find the Bearing Load & Load Capacity. First, know the type and amount of bearing load that your application will place on the bearing.
- Know the Rotational Speed of Your Application.
- Factor in Bearing Runout & Rigidity.
- Find the Right Lubrication for Your Bearings Needs.
Do skate bearings matter?
A higher rating means a bearing has a capability for greater speeds, but even the world record speed on a skateboard is not fast enough for the ABEC rating to make difference in skateboarding roll speed. TIP: The best skateboard bearings are clean, well-oiled bearings. If you want to go fast, keep ’em clean!
What size bearing spacers do I need?
Bearing spacer size is measured by two things: axle diameter (not to be confused with axle width!) and overall spacer width. For example, 8mm x 10mm is a very common bearing spacer size. The first number (8mm) refers to the diameter of the axle, and the second number (10mm) refers to the overall width of the bearing.
Is ABEC 5 or 7 better?
ABEC 5 bearings are cheaper than ABEC 7. ABEC 5 bearings allow for lesser friction while ABEC 7 bearings almost give the skater a ‘frictionless’ cruise. ABEC 7 bearings are manufactured with stricter tolerance and are more precise than ABEC 5 bearings.
Is ABEC 11 real?
ABEC precision levels do indeed stop at level 9 (there is no ABEC 11 precision level). Any reference to ABEC 11 does not refer to an official precision or performance standard.
Are ABEC 7 bearings fast?
ABEC 7 bearings would be very fast and smooth, but very expensive. Plus, you start to run the risk of needlessly damaging them if you skate hard or aggressively.
Do Impala wheels come with bearings?
These wheels light up as you skate and are powered by a special spacer that sits in between your bearings. Best of all these wheels come with bearings already installed so you can just put them on your skates and off you go. These are not a performance wheel but they are fun!
Can you use skateboard bearings on roller skates?
The axles on roller skate trucks come in 2 sizes: 7mm and 8mm. Odds, are, unless you have high-end artistic skating plates, you are probably using 8mm axles. If your roller skates do have 8mm axles, you can use standard skateboard bearings on your roller skates, yes.
What is the difference between 608zz and 608rs?
Those two letters on the end represent the shield or seal type, zz is a steel shield and rs is a rubber shield.
