How To Repair The Decompression Fingertip Spinning Top?
When the metal bearing fingertip spinner gets dust off and the rotation time becomes shorter, it can be cleaned and maintained with lighter oil. Generally, lighter oil can be bought in supermarkets, and it is suitable for most metal bearing fingertip gyros. Therefore, it is recommended that if you find that the spinning speed of the spinning top becomes slower, the spinning time becomes shorter, or the gyro bearing becomes dusty, you can use the lighter fluid. Drop an appropriate amount into the container, then remove the bearing of the top, or directly soak the whole top in lighter oil while rotating and clean it. Finally, take out the top of the fingertip and dry it with the cold air of a hair dryer, so that the top of the fingertip It can be restored to its original rotating state.
When the metal bearing fingertip gyro is rusty, alcohol can also be used for cleaning and maintenance. If there is no lighter oil at home or it is not convenient to buy, you can also use higher purity alcohol or absolute ethanol to clean the gyro bearings. Generally, ceramic, metal bearings or bearings of mixed materials can be maintained with alcohol, while the alcohol cleaning bearing method It is similar to the lighter oil cleaning bearing method, so I won’t specifically explain it here. In addition, it should be noted that the fingertip gyro with metal bearing is better to use volatile absolute ethanol for maintenance. The ceramic bearing fingertip spinner is the easiest to maintain and can be cleaned with water and detergent at will.
Fingertip spinners with full ceramic or hybrid ceramic bearings are easier to maintain and clean, because ceramics will not rust as easily as metal bearings. Therefore, it is possible to clean and maintain directly with water or detergent. You only need to unscrew and remove the ceramic bearings. After it comes down, just drop an appropriate amount of detergent on the bearing and rinse it with warm water. Finally, dry it or blow-dry it and reinstall it and you can play normally. In addition, it should be noted that if the detergent is not rinsed, it may affect the normal rotation of the fingertip top, so be sure to rinse for a while.
Never use lubricating oil or water to clean and maintain the metal bearing of the fingertip spinning top. Neither metal nor ceramic bearings can be maintained with lubricating oil! This point must be paid attention to, otherwise it may affect the rotation time of the fingertip top, and the fingertip top with metal bearing may rust when it gets wet, so you can not clean it with water. If you accidentally drop the fingertip top with the metal bearing If it is in water, be sure to wipe it dry as soon as possible, then wash it with alcohol and blow it dry, so that the water in the metal bearing will evaporate and return to its original state.
Normally, keep your fingertip tops away to avoid dusting the tops. If you don’t plan to play the fingertip spinning again in the near future, it is best to store it in a clean, dust-free and humid place. It is recommended to buy a dust bag or dust box, and put the fingertip spinning when you are not playing. Put it in a bag or box and keep it carefully to prevent dust or water from accumulating in the bearings of the gyro, which will affect the rotation time and speed of the fingertip gyro. When playing with the fingertip spinning top, be careful not to break the spinning top. As the toy top is becoming more and more popular, many people have begun to study new ways to play. Some friends can even throw the spinning top in the air and catch it with their hands, or turn the top with both hands and turn the top to attract everyone.

This may cause the bearing of the fingertip top to break and deform. Therefore, it is recommended that novices try the new way of playing the fingertip top. Fortunately, practice on a mattress or foam pad and stay away from places with water to avoid damage to the fingertip spinner or water.
If the bearing of the fingertip top is damaged accidentally, you can buy a new bearing to replace it. If the fingertip top does not rotate anymore after it is dropped, it means that the bearing may no longer be used. Therefore, it is recommended to buy a new bearing to replace it through online shopping. Just measure the size of your original bearing and Tell the seller the model number, and the other party will send you the bearing that matches the top. In addition, the fingertip gyro can be equipped with bearings of many different materials, as long as the size and model are appropriate, it can be installed, so you can choose the material you like when you need to replace the bearing.
