Skateboard Bearings
Skateboard bearings are precision-manufactured components that enable wheel rotation on skateboard axles. Standard skateboard bearings follow the 608 specification, featuring steel ball bearings within steel or ceramic races with various lubrication and sealing options.
Quality bearings utilize ABEC-rated precision standards, though skateboarding applications often prioritize durability over absolute precision. Common features include removable shields for maintenance access and specialized lubricants designed for skateboarding conditions. Proper bearing maintenance significantly affects skateboard performance and wheel longevity.
