Ceramic Bearings

[charles siler]

That's funny novarossi have ceramics and they run just fine.

The 46DD has a ceramic big bearing and a high speed small.

2 seasons on an inboard 3 season on an outboard no bearing changes here...

The one thing about the Nova.46 DDs is there's no prop load on the ceramic bearing!

Very sharp observation Charles! However, it should be noted that any deep groove radial ball bearing can carry both radial & axial loads at the same time. Better bearing catalogs give the method of evaluation with an explanation of the symbols used.
