Abec stands for annular bearing engineering committee the committee that rates bearings all over the world in this system the scale uses odd numbered levels 1 3 5 7 and 9 with 9.
Ceramic bearings vs abec 9.
In an application like this an abec 7 or 9 bearing rating may be appropriate.
The higher this number is the tighter the tolerance of the bearing and the better the degree of precision of the bearing.
There s a lot of mislabeling and misinformation in the bearing market.
With its abec 9 rating one can instantly confirm that the mini skater precision 608 zz bearings are among the most precise skateboard bearings available in the market at present.
Higher abec ratings don t necessarily equate to longer faster spin speeds.
The abec tolerance does cover out of roundness and for this reason i would use abec 3 or better.
Abec 9 synopsis ceramics will provide you with the ultimate in smoothness and bearing performance.
Abec ratings annual bearing engineers committee 1 3 5 7 and 9 were meant to provide a good better best sort of metric but chuck panaccione from enduro bearings says this.
