CeramicSpeed SLT OHD Headset Bearing SS 1.1/4 33x44x6mm 36/45

Season:2022

Brand:CeramicSpeed

Code:110946

The Ceramicspeed SLT (Solid Lubrication Technology) bearing for headsets: OHD (Optimised Headset Design), features a unique combination of an oil-encapsulated solid plastic polymer and stainless-steel materials which results in a self-lubricating, corrosion-resistant, and maintenance-free bearing.

The micropores in the otherwise solid polymer evenly distribute just enough oil to keep the bearing well-lubricated, while also containing sufficient oil for it to be self-lubricating over the lifespan of the bearing even when ridden in the harshest of conditions.

The Ceramicspeed SLT OHD bearing is designed, developed, and hand-built in Denmark and comes with a lifetime warranty.

  • 3 years ago at a visit to the CeramicSpeed facility in Denmark, someone discreetly slipped me a bearing the likes of which I had not seen before. "Headset" they whispered.

    That was at the beginning of the development cycle for what CeramicSpeed call their OHD (and OPD) SLT bearing Technology.

    In short, the Ceramicspeed SLT bearing has been designed for reciprocating bearings - those that do not revolve through 360 degrees, but rather that move through an arc and back again : Headsets and Pivots. This OHD (Optimized Headset Design) or OPD (Optimised Pivot Design), features a unique combination of an oil-encapsulated solid plastic polymer and stainless-steel materials which results in a self-lubricating, corrosion-resistant, and maintenance-free bearing.

    The micropores in the otherwise solid polymer evenly distribute just enough oil to keep the bearing well-lubricated, while also containing sufficient oil for it to be self-lubricating over the lifespan of the bearing, even when ridden in the harshest of conditions.
    The technique of encapsulating oil in polymer - the tech behind CeramicSpeed's SLT or Solid Lubrication Technology - is not new. It has been around since the 1970's in machines that operate effectively non-stop in food production. However, CeramicSpeed's application of the tech is entirely innovative and it has taken the tenacity of a company like CeramicSpeed - with their singular focus on bearing technologies - to incorporate thissurprisingly tricky technology into bearings for bikes.

    There are obvious durability benefits with bearings that are made self-lubricating and maintenance-free by utilising an oil-encapsulated solid polymer, but they come with a significant friction penalty - it's why they are not used in hubs or bottom brackets for example. However, for applications where the bearings never fully rotate (reciprocating bearings like those found in headsets and pivots), this is less of a concern as the zero-maintenance and zero-play aspect far outweighs the need for fluid efficiency.

    This is especially true in the age of fully integrated bikes that run housings through handlebars and stem via the headtube. Trust us when we tell you that headset bearing maintenance in these bikes is beyond a pain! Eliminating the need to regularly strip out your hoses (in some instances headset bearing replacement on modern bikes requires a dismantling of the disc brakes, housing extraction & re-routing and a re-bleed), lowers labour costs and time spent without your bike. It also reduces the inherent risk of pinched hoses and snagged cables - and the associated costs - when manipulating tight cockpits to gain access.

    CeramicSpeed have used a stainless steel balls and races in their OHD SLT Bearings. As touched on before, there is no real benefit to having reduced friction in reciprocating bearings where the balls do not fully rotate. Bymatching the material characteristics between the balls and races the bearings see more even wear over the hundreds of thousands of cycles they are likely to endure. Matched with the SLT polymer, these bearings produce the longest lifetime that CeramicSpeed have been able to test for reciprocating movements. Like everything they do, the construction is application & design led, and rigorously tested. The other benefit of course, is significantly lower costs for each unit!

    The ceramicspeed SLT OHD bearing is designed, developed, and hand-built in Denmark and comes with a lifetime warranty.
