Looking for Source for small thrust bearings

skf? fag? Grainger? NNT?

What's the application? When I'm trying to design something that the parts for aren't available, I almost always find that someone has a smarter way to do what I'm trying to do, which is why the oddball parts I'd like aren't available.

Thanks Dave,

I don't think SKF or fag have it, but I have not tried NNT or Grainger.

BR5-2 was the Berg number that was closest , I goofed up.

I actually just thought of a way that will probably allow me to use the .802" OD Berg bearing, but I would still like to find another source if possible, Berg is somewhat expensive and there is no OEM part number on the package they sent me as there sometimes is. They sent me a set made in the USA and a set made in China, the one's made in China are noisy and cheap looking, the one's from the USA run nice and quiet.

Thanks again,

John

Boston Gear AO/SAO10 3/8 ID x 11/16 OD x 9/32 Andrews FT-010 is an equivalent.

That sounds like a Torrington NTA-613, though I have two references here and one says .802 OD, the other .812.

Thanks for the help Ned, I will check those sources.

I checked my Timken catalog, but it seemed all the thrust bearings were too large for my purposes.

Model helicopters use thrust bearings in their blade holders. They are probably too small for you, but if you looked at the very biggest helicopters, you might get close.

Don't know which country you're in, John, but if you have access to RS Components, or Farnell/Newark, such things are in their catalogues.

Try national precision bearing.

Not directly a lot of help to John, but my local friends show the Torrington bearings here:-

I even have some waiting for a project :-)

McMaster carr has them down to 1/8" bore.
