Ruckstell bearing part number

Post by Dave1 » Thu Sep 11, 2025 5:35 pm

What is the manufacturers part number
for the large ball bearing, this is the one designed to accommodate a radial load ?
I suspect it will be cheaper source for a bearing supplier rather than the T parts vendors.

John makes a good point. There is a much cheaper bearing of the same dimensions, but it will not take the thrust generated by the gearset. It is that thust load which has to be accommodated by the bearing. This also means that the bearing used needs to be installed the right way round.
