Ball bearings with grooved outer races?
Quick question for any bearing heads in the group. I'm looking to replace an
old ND 3L06 bearing, which is the same thing is a modern 6006. The only problem is that the outer race has a groove for a snap run close to one side. Is this something that's normally available, or was it a custom job for a given company? Also, if it was a custom, is there anything preventy me from turning a groove in a stock bearing with a carbide tool or abrasive slitting wheel? GTO(John) |

I've seen it in bearing catalogs, but I don't recall what they're called. Also, if it was a custom, is there anything preventy me from turning a groove in a stock bearing with a carbide tool or abrasive slitting wheel? Heat buildup and the chance of deforming the geometry would be my concerns, aside from the fact that race material is _very_ hard to cut. |

Actually an abrasive cutoff wheel in a die grinder cuts races like crazy. I'd be more worried about the grit getting into the bearing. FWIW I've seen many new bearings with snap rings like the one mentioned.

Moot point since someone posted the bearing designations for the groove and a groove with a ring in it, though. FWIW I've seen many new bearings with snap rings like the one mentioned. Automotive transmissions, for instance, yes. One would hope they're using some sort of a standard. |

The one in question was the input bearing for a ford jeep transmission. I was able to purchase a new, sealed bearing with the snap ring, easily and cheaply.

standard item , just run down to your local bearing house
|
On some items the local bearing shop only stocks the grooved ones
because they work the same if you remove the ring. |
The designation is 6006N with groove, 6006NR with snapring in groove. Tom Whoa - I thought I'd double posted (and I haven't even had a drink) until I checked your email address. Guess there's two of us with the same advice. Glad I'm not losing it. :-) |

Snap ring grooves are an option on many bearings. Check with an
industrial bearing supplier. |
