Hi,
I need to replace the bearing insert from a two bolt flange type housing, however, I am struggling to find a replacement insert in the UK. The flange housing is an ASAHI FT203 and the insert is a 203PR-C with 16mm bore. I can find inserts with the correct bore and diameter but not height for the housing. There is one supplier who can ship inserts from the USA but they have a minimum order price that is higher than the cost of complete replacement units.
It seems my simplest solution is to buy a complete unit of housing and insert from a UK based supplier. The unit will be permanantly in use outdoors but the collar of the bearing will be wrapped in denso tape to give some protection. There seems to be quite a few brands available. As I have no knowledge of who makes good bearings I would be grateful if anyone could please point me in the direction of a decent quality make.
Thx
