At Mid Coast Bearing Centre, we offer more than just products—we provide practical solutions tailored to Kempsey’s industries and environments. Our stock includes deep groove ball bearings, cylindrical bearings, linear bearings, and plain bearings for use in everything from workshop tools to large farming machinery.
We can help you navigate key specifications such as load ratings, speed limits, and seal types to ensure the bearing fits and performs as needed. We also supply related components like housings, grease, and locknuts for full system support. Many Kempsey customers rely on us not only for supply but also for troubleshooting issues like premature bearing wear, misalignment, or incorrect fitting.
We take the time to explain what’s happening and recommend the best fix. With flexible sourcing, a strong supplier network, and hands-on knowledge, we make sure you get the most suitable bearing for the job—quickly and without the guesswork.
What are the main causes of bearing failure?
Bearing failure can result from several factors, including poor lubrication, contamination, misalignment, and excessive load. Lack of proper lubrication leads to increased friction and heat, causing the bearing to wear out quickly. Contamination, such as dust, dirt, or water, can enter the bearing and damage the rolling elements and raceways. Misalignment between shafts and housings puts uneven stress on the bearing, while overloading exceeds the designed capacity, leading to fatigue. To avoid failure, it’s essential to choose the correct bearing type, install it properly, use clean lubricants, and monitor operating conditions regularly.
How do I determine the correct bearing for my equipment?
To select the correct bearing, you’ll need to consider several key factors: the application’s load (both radial and axial), operating speed, temperature, environment, and space constraints. Measuring the inside diameter (ID), outside diameter (OD), and width of the old bearing is a good starting point. Additionally, knowing whether your system requires open, sealed, or shielded bearings helps narrow the options. Manufacturers often list bearing specifications in equipment manuals, and suppliers can cross-reference part numbers if available. If you're unsure, bringing in the old bearing for comparison or consulting an experienced supplier ensures a precise match.
Can I reuse a bearing after removing it?
It’s generally not recommended to reuse a bearing once it has been removed. Even if the bearing appears undamaged, removal often alters its fit and internal clearances, which can lead to premature wear or failure. Bearings are designed for tight tolerances, and any distortion or contamination during removal may compromise their performance. If you're servicing equipment and the bearing was exposed to heat, vibration, or misalignment, it’s safer to replace it. Replacing a worn or questionable bearing is a small investment compared to the cost of equipment damage or downtime due to failure.
