A $97,000 tapered roller bearing ??? REALLY ???

[Illinoyance]

Several years ago I worked at an Alcoa rolling mill. The roll neck bearings for the 220" were 4 row tapered roller bearings. As I recall they cost roughly $250K apiece. Probably more now.

I just looked at a job for reconditioning (sandblast and paint) all the structural parts a 175' Ferris wheel - The bearings went so the whole think had to come down. If the bearings were 100,000, my guess is they'd still be a small part of the overall cost

I'd say screw the technology, I'll take some plain bearings and automatic oilers.

And how much for this:
"
The largest Bearing has a diameter of 13,3 meters and a weight of 70 tons, according to SKF. It is said to be made for the oil field “Terra Nova” outside the Canadian coast."

100 grand is small change on structures that cost many millions of dollars.

I remember seeing photo's of some 3 foot diameter roller bearings being cutup with oxy acetylene, they were counterfeit.

I saw the same, company dealing in fake drill head bearings for oil and gas drilling rigs, sending them on to USA, fake brand etc, little where house up north

At least they offer free shipping. This one is over $56,000 plus $12.95 shipping.

Weighs 820 lbs,I'd say $12.95 for shipping is a bargain

This company is called "Discount Bearings" - I'd dread to think what the full price should be .

Its a bogus number HM261040TD if that's Timken, Try and find that on an official Timken site.

Well, if you want a best grade, or a grade PAST the best grade, for a bearing of large size, between say 12" and 48" ID, you can expect to pay big money for it

Even the worst of the stooge site's suggest that's a 12 x 18mm bearing. Which brings it undone, 3mm per side, not enough to squeeze rollers into.

BUT - the real question is, can you tram a Taig mini mill off of it???

Nowhere it says mm, its probably 12" bore, 18" OD.

Amazon has one in stock for $99,246 and it appears to be a "good" Timken part number.
