Hrrrmmm, those are kind of hard to find. Your best bet might be the 2002 kit except those were double shielded. Also,
Boca Bearing has a variety of high quality units that may be a little cheaper.

Applied Industrial
 

Travis,

Try a company called "Applied Industrial". They are a manufacturer's rep, kinda like Motion Industries or Stock Drive Products.

I could not believe it, but we got this sort of bearing for under $3 each from Applied Industrial. There is a branch in Kokomo, but you should probably do a search to find your local Applied. They can get standard gears in one day (with a better selection than MSC) also.

Applied really had to look to find the cheapest bearing we needed, but they came through... I think that it was an import, packaged in groups of 10.

I think you can also get them from Small Parts for $4.75, if they have them.

Double Sealed?
 

I'm curious why you would need the double sealed ones for our robotic applications. Unless, of course, you need them for another purpose altogether.

double sealed means sealed on both sides of the bearing, to ensure they do not get dirt inside the bearing as well as keeping the grease/oil inside.
