Hi,

The cush drive bearings on my RGS were shot (seal had a nick) so looked around. ?25 each from a Laverda specialist. Knocked them out, took the number and got 2 x SKF delivered next day for ?10. In the freezer for a couple of hours, knock them in, Roibert's yer Mother's Brother......

I presume the number of the bearing means it's made to a certain loading / rpm standard?

There are a few people on this forum who swear by:

Me too.

The numbers are a code used by all manufacturers, basically they refer to the type, size and construction of the bearing.
In theory if the number is the same then then it should not matter which manufacturer is used. In practice it does make a difference.

I ordered steering head bearings from a US online supplier. They were cheap and I was expecting maybe Chinese or Taiwanese, but these were Russian, marked "Made in Russia"! Well, they seem to be able to build some remarkable aerospace equipment, so their manufactured stuff can't all be bad.
Seem to be working well so far, but it's hard to tell with steering head bearings.
