I want to remove the complete part circled in red in the following pictu
http://www3.sympatico.ca/bourque.ass...o/Photo008.jpg
It is a ball bearing on the shaft of a table saw similar to Delta 34-410. I
am able to remove easily the other one on the left.
I tried gently but it didn't work and don't want to break anything.
According to the picture, does this part move to left or right? Maybe this
part is welded on the shaft and I need the replace all the kit ?

Any suggestion is appreciate.
S.B.


If it is a Contractor Saw there should be a spacer between the
bearings and both bearings come off the pulley (left in your picture)
side. The fit is press on the shaft so a gear/pulley puller or press
is required to get it off. Remove the pulley, then the first bearing,
then the spacer, then the second bearing. The arbor flange is
induction welded to the shaft so you can't go to the right.

If it is a Contractor Saw II, the design was to service the shaft and
both bearings as a unit. There is no spacer on the shaft, only a
raised section that establishes both bearing seats. It is possible to
pull the arbor flange (flange is pressed on to a fluted clinch section
of the shaft) and pull the flange side bearing to the right, however
this is not reccommended because it is most difficult to press the
arbor flange back on and keep from getting arbor face runnout.

I can't tell which it is from your picture, If you have an actual
model number you can go to the Delta Web site, tech service, parts
list and see an exploded diagram of the assembly. assmuming you do
not still have your parts list and diagram that came with the saw. or
call delta tech service.

hope this helps.

I guess it is the terminology. But when you grease a wheel bearing you
don't remove the race.

Correct, and you are not replacing the bearing either. You are only
servicing it.


And when you replace a bearing, most sources also caution you to replace
the race.

Yes. Use every thing that comes in the the bearing box. The 2 pieces are
a matched set.

That caution
indicates that the race is separate.

Sometimes they are. 1 of the races is seperate. The inner race is a
permanent part of the bearing assembly. Rear wheel/axel bearings are
often all one piece with both races a permanent part of the bearing
similar to the one that the OP is asking about. It must be pressed off
and on.

So is the
race a part of the bearing or is the cage and rollers the bearing?

Is the piston a part of the engine? Yes the race is a part of the
bearing. Front wheel bearings have, like most bearings, 2 races. One is
permanently attached to the bearing assembly, it rides on the spindle and
the other is press fit into the drum or rotor.


Regardless of the
terminology, the unit to change in a saw is one piece and in a car is two
pieces, so there is a considerable difference between a bearing for a saw
and a bearing for a wheel.

Typically the front wheel bearings on a rear wheel car are 2 piece. Front
wheel cars use 1 piece front wheel bearings. Rear axels on rear wheel
drive cars can have one piece or 2 piece. Rear axels on a front wheel car
are typically 1 piece. Almost always a serviceable bearing is 2 piece and
nonserviceable bearing is 1 piece.
