Lonex AEG Gearbox 7mm Ball Bearings (6 Pack) (GG08-18)

Lonex 7mm ball bearings offer improved airsoft gun performance by reducing friction in the gearbox, which leads to a higher rate of fire, better battery efficiency, and reduced stress on components. Made from high-quality Japanese steel, these bearings enhance the smoothness of gear rotation and increase overall durability compared to plastic bushings.

Performance benefits

• Reduced friction: Ball bearings have a much lower friction coefficient than standard plastic bushings, allowing gears to spin more freely.

• Higher rate of fire: The reduction in friction means the motor can spin the gears faster, resulting in an increased rate of fire.

• Improved battery efficiency: Less effort is needed for the gears to turn, which decreases the amperage draw from the battery and can extend battery life.

• Reduced stress on components: By allowing for smoother operation, the bearings place less stress on the motor and other internal parts, contributing to their longevity. 

Durability and build quality

• High-quality materials: These bearings are constructed from special SUJ2 steel, a high-quality steel from Japan, making them more durable and resilient than plastic bushings.

• Smoother rotation: They improve the overall smoothness of the gearbox, which can also lead to a quieter operation.

• Enhanced design: Some bearings, like the Lonex ones, are designed with features like oil grooves for smooth rotation and an anti-heat, anti-wear surface finish for added durability. 

Important installation considerations

• Correct shimming: To avoid premature wear and failure, it is crucial to ensure the gears are correctly shimmed when installing new bearings.

• Lubrication: Lubricate the bearings before use to ensure a longer life and proper function.
