Alternate Source for 1/2" Flanged Hex Bearings

[Undertones]

Is there some reason VexPro was not mentioned? We just got a bunch of flanged hex bearings from there.

I did some searching and I found the bearing

Hope this helps. Clearly it was 1.5 OD So its a bigger bearing but it might work

We tried Lutco yesterday and they do not have any in stock or really wanted to deal with us (there right down the street) but the OD may make things a bit more complex in terms of space. I believe the vex pro bearings had a recall or something like that i called them yesterday and they claimed that they may have some in next week but they will make no guarantee. I also called andymark and they said that they had an order in then they were sent out locally for a modification and are trickling back, they should be back in stock by next week

Does anybody know where to get 1/2'' hex bearings that have an outside diameter larger than 1.25? We messed up a part and would like to fix the problem by using a larger bearing rather than running a new piece through the CNC's.

VEX has them in stock... just checked.

You may have better luck finding a bushing that has a 1/2" hex bore with a larger round O.D. Here, for example, is a 0.503" hex bore bushing with a 13/16" OD. You could potentially lathe that to a more common bearing size.
