14x25.4x6mm ceramic engine bearings featuring World Champion ACER Racing's diamond polished Silicon Nitride ceramic balls plus a super high speed PEEK inner cage to withstand the heat and stress of your engine. Proprietary internal tolerances have been incorporated into this ceramic bearing as well.
New generation PEEK polymer was chosen for the cages because of its superior
combination of strength and flexibility, high operating temperatures, and high
chemical and wear resistance. The design of the cage and material used are of
paramount importance for the performance of the cage as well as for the
operational reliability of the bearing itself.
Bearing cages are
mechanically stressed by friction, strain and inertia. They may also be
subjected to the chemical action of certain lubricants, lubricant additives or
products of their ageing or organic solvents. The relative importance of these
considerations can be affected by other operational parameters such as elevated
temperatures, shock loads, vibrations or combinations of these and other
conditions. The materials from which the bearing components are made determine
to a large extent the performance and reliability of the rolling bearings. This
why ACER Racing has used PEEK cages for our ceramic engine bearings.
PEEK cages have an excellent combination of strength and elasticity. The
good sliding properties of the polymer on lubricated steel surfaces and the
smoothness of the cage surfaces in contact with the rolling elements produce the
lowest amount of friction so that heat generation and wear in the
bearing are at a minimum. The low density of the material means that the inertia
of the cage is small contributing to greater speed. The excellent running
properties of polymer cages under lubricant starvation conditions permit
continued operation of the bearing for some time without risk of seizure and
secondary damage.
Our PEEK bearing cages show no signs of aging by
temperature and oil additives up to +200 °C (392°F).
