Enhancing Centax Clutch Performance with Serpent SER1388

The Serpent SER1388 5x10 Ceramic Thrust Bearing is specified to reduce internal friction in Centax clutch assemblies, promoting smoother operation and longer component life. The ceramic ball construction lowers mass and helps maintain consistent performance during extended use.

Why Choose Ceramic Bearings

Ceramic balls present lower friction and improved wear resistance versus standard bearings, which supports repeatable clutch behaviour and reduces the need for frequent replacements. This is particularly useful for drivers seeking predictable clutch action.

Installation and Compatibility Details

This thrust bearing is compatible with Centax 2 and Centax 3 systems and is designed for a straightforward swap. Ensure cleanliness and correct seating during installation to get the best longevity from the bearing.

Is this bearing a direct replacement for stock thrust bearings?

In most Centax 2 and Centax 3 setups the SER1388 serves as a direct replacement, fitting without additional machining when installed correctly.

How does ceramic affect bearing temperature?

Ceramic bearings typically run cooler due to lower friction, which can help reduce heat transfer to nearby clutch components during heavy use.

What maintenance should I perform on the SER1388?

Inspect the bearing during scheduled clutch checks, clean the area to prevent contamination, and replace if you detect noise or rough rotation.

Will ceramic bearings change clutch slip characteristics?

They can alter feel slightly by reducing internal drag, which may sharpen engagement. Adjust clutch settings as needed to restore your preferred slip point.

Any tips for fitting to avoid premature wear?

Handle the bearing carefully, keep the clutch area free of grit, and ensure correct seating and alignment to prevent uneven loads that can shorten bearing life.
