With shipments of the heavy cream version 2 around the corner, I’ve also been busy working on designs for the new delrin spin top. After throwing throwing some thoughts and ideas around, I’m going to start prototyping a spin top with a thrust bearing. Conventional bearing tops uses the same bearings as a yoyo bearing. This works, however the load and force from a top comes from bottom and pointed tip. When ever it is dropped or hits the ground, there’s always a chance for the bearing to break because yoyo bearings are not designed to handle load on the side of the bearing. With a thrust bearing it can handle large axial load. I’ll let you guys know how prototyping goes.
