Best quality bevel box bearing.

[Den]

Seemingly, BMW large bevel bearing isnt the best quality available. C3 quality. The best being C1

This link should take you to a bearing of the best quality apparently.

Information stolen from someone on the Grinnall forum, so dont blame me if its nonsense.

That's very interesting info, if it proves to be the best for a GS this should be a sticky

 

[Den]

What .... me ..... getting a sticky !!! after 10 years ???

Its ...its ... like Andy Murray gettin to the final.

I'm goin to open a bottle of wine in anticipation.

 

[Schtum]

You'd expect that to be even more important on a Grinnall, wouldn't you...? The side loadings on the bearing will be greater in a car.

 

[Timolgra]

Just hope it doesn't get merged into http://www.ukgser.com/forums/showthread.php?t=159180 and the wine's wasted

 

[DrFarkoff]

Unsticky it folks it's not a good idea Inbult expansion methinks

 

[ebbo]

Seems the C value isn't about quality, its about internal clearances, changing to a tighter clearance bearing may not be the best idea but I'm open to ideas

Bearings having an internal clearance other than Normal are identified by the suffixes C1 to C5

Suffix - Radial internal clearance
C1 - Less than C2
C2 - Less than Normal
CN - Normal
C3 - Greater than Normal
C4 - Greater than C3
C5 - Greater than C4

[(RIP) Kaister]

so if they are wearing out prematurely - ithey are either overloaded or they are overheating and binding up - so maybe a C4 should be used in the first place ?


Ps I bet u know all the other 5 members on the grinall forum by first names

You're confusing quality with purpose of use.

C3 is used for a reason.

 

[pablo666]

There was an article on the AdvRiders site that talks about a better bearing that can take a side load, because BMW standard final drive bearings cannot apparently. I'm no expert, but there was a good discussion, about it when I was doing my research.

Well the same bearing has been used in the final drives since 1984, on the K series bikes. And problems were unheard of.

I doubt it's the bearing, It's more likely the quality control or the man doing the shimming being rushed due to pressure from the increase in sales

What the hell is this thread for.
It is not the quality, it is the purpose.

C3 is for high temperature clearance bearings and Steptoe and I and everybody else knows it, who understands something about BMW final drives.
BMW factory knows it as well and that is why they have been using C3 for ages.

Well fuck me roughly with a muddy stick. I was only passing on information for anyone' in the know' to comment on. Thought that was what forums were for.
Read what I said on the first post ........ then go fuck yourself. I'll lend you my stick.

This is what you wrote.
It is your comment Den, no doubt.
Don't blame others.

Mutta c1 laakeri on parempilaatuista kuin c3. Onko sen paremmin tarkoitukseen, en tiedä..

By the way ........ Tiedättekö mitään van mainonnasta?

 

[Pekkavee]

Mutta c1 laakeri on parempilaatuista kuin c3. Onko sen paremmin tarkoitukseen, en tiedä. Niin minä sanoin.

By the way ........ Tiedättekö mitään van mainonnasta?

Ei se C1 laakeri ole ollenkaan parempi, eikä edes soveltuva tähän tarkoitukseen, koska se voi vaikka leikata kiinni, koska välykset menevät liian pieniksi, kun se lämpiää. Toi C3 on todellakin ihan oikea laakeri siihen perään ja se toimii todella hyvin, kun se on oikein shimmattu jo tehtaalla.
Sen välyksissä on huomioitu se, että perä lämpiää kuitenkin aika lailla ainakin moottoritieajossa.

Kiitos mielenkiintoisesta keskustelusta
Hyvää yötä.
Menen nyt nukkumaan. Kello on 2.35 keskellä yötä täällä Helsingissä Suomessa.

terveisin
Pekka

 

[Den]

Että kaikki hyvin. Luotan esimiehen tietoon. Mutta jos luet alkuperäiseen viestiin, minä vain välitän tietoa. En sanoa, että laakerin oli sopiva tähän tarkoitukseen.

 

[DrFarkoff]

kivekset "Den", koska kääntäjä ei tunnista Bollox ja eveyone tulee olla miettimättä, miksi "bollox" näkyy kahdesti! :-D

C3 turvallisin johtuu lämpölaajenemisesta Se huolestuttaa minua, kun he sanoivat

"sopimaton jossa critcial yhdenmukaistaminen vaaditaan alusta alkaen!"

Sometimes the comments posted by members can be a trifle intemperate, but it's going a bit far when they resort to using Welsh.

 

[hakjar]

Welsh?! I thought it was Finnish
