Enduro B5412RSMAX Max Type Headset Bearing 1-1/16x1-1/2x9/32 inch

Enduro Max Type Rubber Sealed Deep Groove Headset Ball Bearings: These types are manufactured with rubber seals inserted into the outer raceway and in contact with the inner race providing protection against the ingress of moisture, dust and other foreign matter and serve to retain the pre-filled grease in the bearing.

MAX Type bearings have no cage and a filling slot for the balls. MAX stands for Maximum Balls possible in the bearing which is achieved by using the filling slot to insert the balls, the balls are effectively next to each other.

They generally have a 35% more load capacity than caged bearings. MAX bearings do not spin as smoothly as the cage bearings and should in general be used for steering pivots or problem areas where standard bearings wear out prematurely.

Static Load capacities are limits well before deformation of the bearing and are conservative.

These particular bearings are suited to headset applications

Seals: Seals can be easily removed for applications that only require 1 seal.
Benefits: Prevents moisture and dirt getting into the bearing, lubricated for life, maximum load capacity
