Re: Andymark Hex Bearing Trouble
It has taken us a while to fix this bearing issue, but I do believe that we have this nailed.

As we found out last year, that inner race for the FR6ZZ-Hex bearing (the dreaded am-0439) was too thin and can only handle light loads. This this revelation, we have been able to get a new bearing made. This time, the outside diameter is 1.125", which leaves plenty of room for a very thick inner race.

Thank you to everyone regarding this issue. Your patience and detailed information was very much appreciated.

So, without bearing any further load on this, I introduce to you our FR6ZZL-Hex bearing, am-0692.

Sincerely,
Andy
