BJA super-heavy Main Bearing
After almost a year of intensive research, countless material tests, and numerous listening sessions, BJA-turntables proudly presents the BJA Heavy Main Bearing – developed for music lovers who refuse to compromise on precision, stability, and sound quality.
Special attention during development was given to selecting the right plain bearing material. Plastic bearings such as POM or POM LX initially showed good running properties but proved problematic in practice: due to the heat generated by the adjacent motor, tolerances shifted during operation, resulting in audible speed fluctuations. With sintered bronze, however, these effects do not occur. In combination with stainless steel, the BJA Heavy Main Bearing remains stable and reliable even after many hours – a decisive advantage for consistent rotation and authentic music enjoyment.
The BJA Heavy Main Bearing is compatible with all models starting from the silentAir series and fits the platters of the Lenco L series "like a glove". Combined with the BJA Heavy Platter (another upgrade available from the silentAir series), weighing 6.2 kilograms for even smoother performance, it unfolds its full potential.
Thanks to the deliberately extended spindle nose, even thicker mats or multilayer sandwich constructions can be used flexibly – without having to forgo a record puck.
For demanding listeners, this means: significantly reduced noise, an open and detailed soundstage, and a construction that delivers maximum stability even in long-term use. This makes the BJA Heavy Main Bearing the ideal upgrade for anyone looking to take their analog music playback to the next level.
And for owners of the original Lenco chassis, a specially adapted heavy bearing is already in development.
