Hi there,

I am looking to buy the following from the usa

http://www.azusaeng.com/wheels/whls8a.html

The problem i have however is with bearing sizes. The O/D of the
bearings required for this wheel are 1+3/8 of an inch, which is 34.925
mm. I can source bearings in this country with an I/D of 17mm, which is
required for my application, however, the OD of the UK bearing is 35mm.


The question is, will a 35mm bearing fit in the hub that is built to
accept 34.925mm bearings? Will it just be a bit of a squeeze to get the
bearing in? Will there be any problem with the bearing if it is
slightly compressed?

Regards

Mark

Hmm, you're either a troll or you have absolutely no idea what you're
talking about. Wheels mount onto a flange on a hub, in which is
contained the wheel bearing. ...or I've missed something
completely.

These are not car wheels, and from the size of the bearing i would have
thought that was obvious. These are 8 inch diameter wheels for mounting
on a small buggy. The bearings fit into the rims, and then onto a 17mm
axle.

Your local bearing shop can get whatever you want, metric or imperial.

But not, as it appears, a bearing with an imperial OD of 1+3/8 and a
metric ID of 17mm. Well at least not the company i tried to get
bearings from anyway. Maybe i will have luck elsewhere, but was given
the impression that this bearing would not be available anywhere.

http://www.qbcbearings.com/B610/PDF/B610T001.pdf will probably tell you.

IIRC .075 mm or 3 thou is a very heavy drive fit. Google for "drive fit"
"push fit", We used to have tables of such things, but I can not find them
on Google.

Spin the hub in a lathe and ease out the 0.003" with emery.
Alternatively, if it's not a high speed bearing or something under extreme
load you can warm up the hub (If poss with a blowtorch) and press the
bearing in.
3 thou is quite a good interference fit.

I would ease the hub diameter out myself.

That sounds well within 'tap it gently with a hammer' range, or 'heat
the housing with a blowlamp first'

You have missed the actual URL which shows an 8" split rim alloy wheel
with integral bearing housings

So ream out the wheels...if you can't take off .075mm with a bit of
emery you don't deserve to be posting in UK.d-i-y

I would ease the hub diameter out myself.

3 thou on the diameter - nearly 10 on the circumference - is certainly an
interference fit. Good chance of cracking the aluminium wheel if you force
it in. Same with heating it - it may crack when it cools. Better to machine
it out, as you say.

I know absolutely nothing about metalwork, its not something i have

Is it worth getting a sheet metal fabricators (i know one) to do this
for me, or is it something that can be done by hand? I suppose i'll get
the tinned reply, "if you have to ask then its best to get it done by a
pro", but if not, do i need to buy any special tools to do this.

An old fashioned jobbing garage would be what you want - king pins etc had
to be re-bushed at one time and they'd have adjustable reamers.

If you can get one bearing thats got slightly too much metal, then you
can get two with the same ease. So take the metal off the easy-to-replace
part, not off the hard to replace part.

1) Isn't turning a bearing in a lathe going to be a pain in the arse.

need to do it every time you change them.

Bearings are Hardened Steel and an absolute swine to machine.

Yes. Bearing shells are case hardened steel and most tools will bounce
straight off. You need to hone them. Non trivial

Whereas mild steel alloy or bronze would be likely for the housings, and
its easily cut or abraded.



2) Do the wheel and you only have to do it once, do the bearings and
you'll need to do it every time you change them.

Hi,

Why not buy the bearings from the US too, don't the above company
supply them as an option?

cheers,
