[Sneap] HVEC GVM Motor Bearings

[Chris Westerfeldt]

Thanks Klaus,
    This is indeed the dimensions of our bearings.  The ones we removed last
were Barden 38FF and
KSK WCB7038 bearings.  Barden recommends their 79K3G76 to replace the old
38FF.  These run about $160 each and I questions whether they need to be
super precision bearings.  I haven¹t found the specifications for the KSK
bearing to compare.
Regards,
- Chris

Chris,
 
I'm not sure whether we are talking about the same motor, but for what it is
worth I use the
608 series bearings, this is bearings with an inner diameter  of 8mm, outer
diameter of 22mm and and a depth of 7 mm.
To be specific I use SKF's 608-2RSH - this is bearings sealed on both sides.
Whether this is just coincidence or whether SKF's bearings are superior in
this aaplications, I don't know, but after a one bearing failure and
frequently required bearing changes in the past when using other makes, I
find that the SKF bearings run troublefree and last very long.
 
Cheers,
Klaus
