How to Order Replacement Bearings

• First - IDENTIFY - the type of bearing you need to replace.
  • Ball Bearing - Single Row, Double Row, Angular Contact
  • Roller Bearing - Cylindrical, Spherical, Tapered
  • Thrust Bearing - Ball or Roller
  • Mounted Unit - Flange, Block, Cartridge, Take-up
  • Super Precision - Angular Contact Ball, Cylindrical Roller, Ball Screw Support
• Second - LOCATE - the identification number on the bearing.
  • Bearing identification numbers are usually located on the inner ring face, outer ring face or bearing O.D. 
    Mounted units are identified by a number tag fastened to the unit or by a housing number cast into the
    housing cap & the insert # stamped on the inner ring of the bearing.
• Third - MEASURE - if you need to.
  • If a bearing identification number is not legible, you will need to determine the following:
    1. Inner ring bore
    2. Outer ring outside diameter
    3. Inner width and outer width (these may be different)
    4. Shape of the bore and/or outside diameter of bearing - spherical, tapered or cylindrical
• Fourth - RECORD - additional relevant information.
  • The more information available, the easier it will be to identify the replacement bearing needed.  Record:
    1. Unique features such as lubrication holes, snap ring grooves, machined shoulders, etc.
    2. Application/equipment data
