Has anyone else had any issues with the
3/8" Hex bore bearing from Andymark? (p/n am-0439)
I'd like to here about both successful and unsuccessful implementations.
I'll start with my experience:
4 total Bearings supporting 2 winch drums. Half of the bearings were standard 3/8" ID flanged shielded, the other half were the AM 3/8" Hex. Both hex bearings' inner races were destroyed. The -static- load on the system never exceeded 160 lbs. IMHO there was no more than slight,
if any at all, dynamic loading due to system configuration.
