direct drive machine part

[gangstajay]

SO me and elbo traded a few machine and I got 2 of the mark fretwell direct drive and they are nice.. on one of them the little bearing that the Sheppard loop goes on seperated and fell off, so I was trying to find one to replace it.. elbo sent me a webb site but there was no parts on there.. does anyone over seas have a way to get these. or have one laying around??

Been a while since I have been on them, so they might not be there anymore. But one was cheaperthandirt.comAnd another was surpluswarehouse.com or something like that. They both often had grab bags of bearings in small sizes. But to second what was said before 5mm outer diameter bearing is almost definitely what you are looking for.

I may have one in my spares box I'll have a hunt on Mon. and see what I can find for you Jay.

I looked on eBay.de for a kugellager 2x5x2.5mm ( i think this is tge right size could also be a 2x5x2mm )and found sets of 4 ( German made ) for around 10 - 15€ this is a do not skimp part. Cheap ones will collapse quickly.

What the heck are they called anyways? I could never figure it out. Offset bearing things? lol Cams?

[Magnu]

Sorry Jay had a hunt thru the spares and couldn't find one I'll keep looking and let you know if I manage to find one

by all means I do not want a cheap on.

It is a small bearing. Looks interesting in the picture, like it is flanged at the rear. Convert the shaft size to metric, 1/10th inche is 2.5 mm I believe. The is your inner diameter. So 5x2x2.5 = 5mm outer diameter 2mm thick and 2.5mm inner diameter. Hopefully you kept the c-clip that kept it on.

thats the ting it did not have anything holding it on.. I have 2 of the same machine and one was just loose i will post a front pic

its press fit on. getting it on the post will require you freeze the post and the cam. when you press fit the bearing on it will slowly heat up expand and hold.

[Alie K]

Freeze it as in spray the heck out of it with compressed air? Or simply put it in the freezer?

[Administrator]

Putting it in the freezer will usually do the trick. A little locktite can also help but you will never get it off.
