InstagramHoward G. Smith MD, AM on Instagram: "SuperATV’s carrier bearings for Polaris RZR XP Turbo and Turbo S Recreational Off-Highway Vehicles create fire and burn hazards. As the fuel tank expands, the drive shaft comes in contact with it, causing a fuel leak, and leads to a serious risk of fire. Affected are models BEA01-001, BEA01-002, and BEA01-005 (Rev A00 and A01) sold between April 2017 and September 2022. About 10,700 units were sold nationwide through SuperATV’s website and off-road vehicle dealers across the United States. Stop using all vehicles equipped with these carrier bearings, remove them, and register online at form.jotform.com/243023918871055 to receive a postage-paid return label anda free replacement carrier bearing. No proof of purchase is required.

are synthetic , usually or sapphire, that are used as bearings, usually . The coefficient of friction between the two ruby surfaces is very small, meaning that little energy is lost to wear on the bearings.
The back of this -era ( or ) shows several on its back.
Jewel bearings weren’t a guarantee of craftsmanship, though. Молния lost around 15 minutes each day.

The actual 3-phase motor is #simple - that's one of the reasons they're used in industry, simple means less to go #wrong. And it appears to be well-made, so there are #quality #bearings and #windings and everything in it. But the motor itself isn't expensive. Rheem probably doesn't pay more than USD 100 for that part of it, and maybe less.

But the bolted-on #control #module #electronics, which make it so you can't easily replace the motor with another unit, are #terrible.

On Friday, I took off the front fork of my bike for cleanup and maintenance.

And a moment of panic struck me as I did not see what I expected to see.

I didn't see any bearings inside Q_Q

...After a couple of minutes of wondering where they went, I realized these were integrated bearings, which may LOOK like there are no bearings inside.

And I was so ready to pick all the individual steel balls out of there with tweezers and such but noooooooooooo

Had to be much more convenient for me lol
