Bearings

Post by **hembo666** » 01 May 2008, 21:46

I have aquired myself a trailer, but it would seem it needs a bearing transplant.

Before i strip it down can someone in the know point me in the right direction of what numbers from the bearing and who i need to quote them to for a new one.

cheers

You'll find something like ... 6210-2RS/C3 .... 6210 is a common metric bearing size reference, 2RS means 2 rubber seals and C3 means it was manufactured in a particular factory in the Czech Republic.

Give me a bell with the numbers (01298 212741 at werk) and I'll see what I can do ... no promises mind

C1/2/3 used to mean a particular clearance in the bearing... we had a lot of problems with a very large Bomag vibrating roller until it was sussed that the bearings didnt have enough clearance when they heated up...

Yep, it does mean the clearance on some bearings .... I was told on the smaller 'popular metric roller bearings' it's a factory designator, perhaps incorrectly ?
