Spindle bearings in the ABEC-9 class are one of the best ya can get , & the price confirms it . ??? animal

Re: Ball bearing life why so short?
There are downside tapper roller bearings. I have used and designed a lot of tapper roller bearings They are a pain to seal. This group per load is not problem but it is with most. Most forget about

Re: Ball bearing life why so short?
If the necessary preloading is the cause of ball bearing failure then that makes a strong case for replacing with tapered roller bearings designed for preloading. wrote:

Re: Ball bearing life why so short?
I totally agree - replace with a good 6206 from a competent manufacturer.

Re: Ball bearing life why so short?
I would offer that "DEEP GROOVE" bearings do NOT have good axial load potential. plus The fact that the bearing 6206 seems to be big and chunky in your hand and by human force standards, when the

Re: Ball bearing life why so short?
It is a deep groove ball bearing This type has very good axial load They use type of deep groove on live centers too. Dave

Re: Ball bearing life why so short?
They are not designed for heavy axial loads - like heavy (for a mini-lathe) cuts. -- Lone Tree, Colorado? ?USA

Agreed. Go for a known quality brand.? SKF or NSK as a couple of examples. Dave The Emerald Isle

Re: Ball bearing life why so short?
Possibly because the bearing isn't the best match for the application.? Preload will eliminate all free play, axially speaking, and it is all too easy to over-do it.? Angular contact or tapered

Re: Ball bearing life why so short?
I am not an engineer, but I believe that it has to do with preloading and heat. A motor may be exposed to a substantial amount of heat, but they have some free play to it, essentially allowing the

Re: Ball bearing life why so short?
Maybe the axial loading when machining on a lathe? Of course, all the drill presses I've been inside of have ball bearings and most of their load is axial in spite of that. But maybe the axial forces

Ball bearing life why so short?
I have used the 6206 bearing in motors and doors. The life for a seal 6206 ball bearing is 20,000 to 60,000 hours. In a mini lathe a lot shorter. Why is it so short? Dave

Very nice idea. Can you show some picture of how it works, and how you mount it ? I'm really interessed and was thinking to copy your idea ( if you don't mind ) Pierluigi
