Anyone know whether a 35 or 36mm ID bearing can be purchased off the shelf
from someone with an OD less than 46.5MM?

I'm guessing it has to be a roller bearing or needle bearing if it exists,
but I honestly don't know where to start for such a large one as all my
bearing usage is smaller than that...

I'd love one with an inner and outer race rather than a needle bearing
because the needle bearings take out the shaft they run on when they
disintegrate... But I'll settle for any answer that can be found right now.

Thanks for any help that can be offered!

Personally, I don't know anyone with an OD less than 46.5mm.

There are such critters, but I'm not sure about "off the shelf", nor
about price. The ones I see go by are at one of my clients that does
aerospace work; from them I know that you can basically get any ID/OD
difference you want in a ball bearing, in ever-thinner rings. But the
special ones _aren't_ off the shelf, the prices make me gasp, and I don't
know the manufacturers.

Do you want me to collect supplier's names when I go in there this
afternoon?

Can't hurt I suppose. Maybe I'll find an answer with them or maybe I'll
practice my gasping technique with you. :)

Thank you!

As I mentioned on one of your pervious bearing quests - plain bearings
(bushings, or sleeve bearings if you prefer) do great with small size
and high load - even better with pressure lubrication, if available.

Needle bearings 35 mm id 42mm od MSC catalog.
Probably a little cheaper at a regular bearing house.

You are looking for a "thin section bearing", and if you do a web search
you'll get a lot of hits.

I had a mechanical engineer assure me this afternoon that _all_ thin
section bearings are aerospace and muy expensivo, but then I got to
thinking about his definition (OD to ID ratio less than 2:1) and the
dimensions of all the spindle and rear axle bearings I've replaced in
various cars, and I decided that in addition to being in his early 20's,
he's young.

For aerospace-oriented bearings, look to New Hampshire Ball Bearing
company and Kayeon. Boca bearings sells all sorts of bearings to non-
technical users (they started out strictly selling bearings to folks
rebuilding model airplane engines); they don't appear to have what you
want on their web site but it may be worth your while to give them a call.

Let us know how it works out! I'm curious.

They are called "thin section" bearings, and a
number of makers have separate
catalogs of these. They are made just like
standard ball bearings but with thinner
races and smaller balls than you would see in
general use. Thus the ratio of
inner to outer radius can be a lot closer. I
think any bearing distributor should
have these catalogs.

Unfortunately, I have to slide the bearing over an obstruction that is
around 35mm and then inside a space constraint around 47mm or greater...
Thus the specific needs in this case.

I haven't checked out the thin section bearing offerings just yet... But I
did check out the needle bearing choice given me...

Although it's workable, I'm seriously worried that the bearing itself is
going to ruin a 500 shaft... And since I have 24 of these shafts to
support... You can get the picture.

Thus my deisre for a bearing with inner and outer race. I'll let you know
if I get a good look at the thin section bearings anytime soon for sure!

Thank you and all the others for the ideas.
