Different Material Micro Ball Bearings for fishing reels

There are two kinds of bearings commonly used for fishing reels.One is the micro Deep Groove Ball Bearing, which is mainly used to make the transmission device smoother; Another type is one way needle bearings, which prevent the fishing boat from rotating in both directions and causing entanglement of the fishing line. This article will introduce some knowledge of using micro ball bearings for fishing reels.

Usually there are 3 types of materials:bearing steel,stainless steel and ceramic.Each type has its own features.Different material decides the performance of micro bearings for fishing reels.

The first type is bearing steel, mainly used to compare mid to low end fishing reels. These types of fishing reel bearings have a relatively high cost-effectiveness. Most common material,cheaper than others.Usually with rubber seal,waterproof.If there are no special requirements for rust prevention, bearing steel are the best choice.

Another type is stainless steel, which has a good performance in rust prevention and is also more expensive than bearing steel. It is often used in high-end fishing line wheels and has a good rust prevention effect during the fishing process.
The third type is a common ceramic material, which has many advantages, such as acid and alkali resistance, corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, and high limit speed; High hardness, wear resistance, and long service life.

In practical use, materials mixed with steel and ceramic are usually used.Most frequent typs is stainless steel with silicon nitride balls and nylon cage.

Due to the special environment of bearings for fishing reels,they have the following characteristics
1: High precision
Stable dimensional tolerances for fishing gear bearings allow for a perfect fit between the fishing gear bearings and various components.
2: Low noise
3: Flexible rotation
The flexible rotation of fishing gear bearings is related to whether they can reduce resistance and wear, as well as whether it is easy and flexible to set up and take up the line, ensuring smooth use.
4: Low starting torque.
Ensure that the fishing line wheel rotates easily and flexibly, and cast the fishing line far away.
5. Smooth rotation without sand sensation. Ensure that the fishing line wheel does not jump and the line is not disordered when rotating.
6. Salt spray corrosion resistance.
