Im getting ready to replace the bearings in my Hardinge HLV-H threading
gearbox and am having a bit of a difficulty finding "3200" bearings
online. I keep coming across "double row angular contact" ..which is a
bit odd as these appear to be simple single row shielded bearings.

Mcmaster has them for not too much. Open, shielded and rubber
sealed. $26-29 each

$28 each????? For those little bearings? And I need (9) of them?

Not bloodly likely.

According to the Hardinge Parts List...chuckle... I need:
(9) TL-6617
(1) TL-6618
(1) TL-6616

The only bearing I could actually read the number on said it was a 3200.

About 1" od, 3/8 ID, metal shielded. Aprox.


3200 is an obsolete New Departure number for a plain-jane 10x30x9mm
6200 bearing. 6200ZZ is double shielded. About $2.50 to $6.00
depending on brand.

Email an RFQ to Motion Industries -- they show a couple hundred in
stock.

Many many thanks!!! I was wondering why I couldnt find any data on the
3200 bearing..other than "double row angular contact"......and they were
simply way way too small for being them.


I got the cross out of a bearing interchange manual that I've had
since about 1977. New Departure doesn't exist as a manufacturer any
more, but they tended to use odd nomenclature. They also made a lot of
oddball bearings that are difficult and/or expensive to source these
days.

Ill pick up 10 of the $2.50 bearings. I should be able to buy a stack of
em cheap.

Something tells me Ive already got a tube of them "somewhere"...but
where..that is indeed the question. Shrug..for $25..Im golden. The
remaining two bearings...No idea of what they are..or even where in the
gear box they are. While its a moderately simple gear box...one has to
stuff 3 shafts in at the same time and get everything lined up..then tap
the end bearings on one end in place..with luck before you can even
think about installing the end plate.

Ill try Thompson Industrial or even Ebay.

I thought sure you'd rise to my bait. ("Email an RFQ to Motion
Industries...") g

Think these are good enough?

I'd think so. Unless you do an awful lot of threading the bearings are
more likely to go bad from sitting and collecting crud than from
wearing out.
