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,

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.

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?

Re: Spindle ball bearings for Unimat 3 (2023)
Lots of fake SKF bearings around! Buy with caution. The U3 bearings will likely be a standard size, take one out and see if it has a code number printed on the side. Measure the dimensions and search

One of the ER16 collet variants I bought has a parallel shaft out the back about 150mm (IIRC) but crucially has the same diameter as the tailstock "shaft" - I got this with the idea of making a
