Re: Unimat Extended Travel Quill
Hi Clark, I am a little late responding to this message but better late than never. I like your extended spindles. I have also machined a new spindle to accept 8mm watchmaker collets and it worked out

Re: Emco Compact 5 Mill Motor Internal Bearings
Good news. The motor mill fan cover had been compressed (presumably during shipment) such that it was binding against the fan, thus keeping the motor shaft from turning. When I went to disassemble the

Re: Spindle ball bearings for Unimat 3 (2023)
Small correction there - Normal clearance is not C2. C2 is quite a tight clearance for high precision fits, and I doubt you'd find it readily available. Normal or C3 will be fine for the job - after

Re: Spindle ball bearings for Unimat 3 (2023)
I suggest 6003-2RS bearings (IE sealed), normal or C3 depending on what is readily available. Use SKF or another respectable bearing company, not cheapo ones from China (except that some SKF bearings

Re: Spindle ball bearings for Unimat 3 (2023)
For me or anyone else wanting to get bearings, we are having a lot of fulfilling discussions on the subject. However, can we figure some consensus that will tell me exactly what bearing number to buy,

Re: Spindle ball bearings for Unimat 3 (2023)
Hello: I see. Just quoting a source, have no idea.? 8^/ Thank you very much for the heads-up. So the SKF samples I installed, which I do not recall having any markings on the box, would be 'Normal'.

Re: Spindle ball bearings for Unimat 3 (2023)
According to the SKF handbook, and my experience, C3 is not the usual bearing everyone uses, although it is being widely offered on Ebay and similar places. Clearance are described as C2, Normal, C3,

Re: Emco Compact 5 Mill Motor Internal Bearings
Hi, I have got to know at least three motor manufacturers for the Emco Compact 5, so it?s not clear to me if there are significant differences among them, regardless if they are 110-120 / 220-240VAC,

Re: Spindle ball bearings for Unimat 3 (2023)
Hello: You're welcome. Yes, maybe just good enough. The more I got to know my newly acquired U3, the more cost cutting design decisions made by Emco came to light and with it a certain sense of

Re: Spindle ball bearings for Unimat 3 (2023)
Julius, I thank you for your comments, they have brought some valued information for my better understanding. I assume most unwanted radial play is eliminated by the usage of Belleville or

Emco Compact 5 Mill Motor Internal Bearings
I have an Emco Compact 5 mill motor that doesn¡¯t want to spin. It seems that the bearings inside the motor are seized as I can¡¯t even turn the motor shaft by hand. Does anyone know the bearings

Re: Spindle ball bearings for Unimat 3 (2023)
Hello: The OEM specification (page 3 - Emco Unimat Service Parts) says that part #5 - ZLG 60 0302 is a 60032Z (ie 6003ZZ). No mention of any 'E3' there. The original (ca. 1980) bearings in my U3 were

Re: Spindle ball bearings for Unimat 3 (2023)
Hi, speaking about ball bearings for the U3, I do not have the need to carry on any replacement of the original ones. Having not long ago checked axial play and running smotheness, they seem to be OK.

Re: Spindle ball bearings for Unimat 3 (2023)
Hello: If you have a car or a motorcycle, chances are you also have a mechanic you can trust. If not, maybe you know someone who does. A local mechanic can probably direct you to whoever sells them

Re: Spindle ball bearings for Unimat 3 (2023)
Just look for authorised distributors. There's probably a list of such on the SKF website. There's lots of other high end brands out there too that do equivalent products. Timken, Koyo and FAG to name

Re: Spindle ball bearings for Unimat 3 (2023)
Thank you all who responded! Much appreciated. Now I do see a lot of places online that sell these SKF 6003 SS / 2RS bearings. Anybody can recommend an online reseller that can guarantee from fake?
