Angular Contact Bearings

Post by RJS100 »

I am converting a PM-833TV to CNC. I purchased the balls screws, mounts etc. from Heavy Metals. Unfortunately, Bruce Nelson passed away unexpectedly, and the business is now closed. To my surprise the kit I purchased did not include angular contact bearings for the X, Y or Z axis. Does anyone know where I can find reasonably priced bearings. The size I need is 15mm x 32mm x 9mm. I found these two listings below. One is for an open bearing, the other is a sealed bearing. I know very little about these. Any suggestions would be great:

Stay away from no name bearings and get them from known companies like SKF NSK ect...

I agree with Uwe, cheap bearings are just that, cheap. Google search for bearing companies in your local area or buy online from a reputable source. Don't waste money on cheap bearings on eBay, you'll be replacing them before you know it.

I am in the middle of trying to replace my spindle bearings on my PM-30MV.
I am looking at using "qualitybearingsonline"
They sell NSK, SKF etc at reasonable prices (at least as far as i can find)
Warning though, I have not actually ordered anything from them yet, but plan on soon.

Here is one example bearing
7007A5TRSULP3 - NSK Precision Angular Contact - 35x62x14mm
Goes for over $300 on mcmaster
