| Q What size are your Self-Lube® grease nipples ? |
| A Grease nipple size for all of the Self-Lube® range is 1/4 UNF apart from FC range which was 2BA, but in current units is M5 X 0.8 pitch. |
| Q What size are your stainless steel Silver-Lube® range grease nipples ? |
| A Grease nipple size for all of the Silver-Lube® range is 1/4 UNF, and these are stainless steel. |
| Q How would you stock / reference loose balls of diameters 5 mm and 5/16 inches ? |
| A All loose balls are referenced / stocked as metric sizes. If inch size requested, convert to metric to first 2 decimal places only. Example. 5/16 inches dia = 1 inch divided by 16 X 5 X 25.4 = 7.9375 = BALL7.93 and 5 mm dia = BALL5.00. |
| Q I have lost my grub screw ( set screw ) out of my bearing insert. Can you buy them, and if so what is the size / reference? |
| A Grub screws are referenced by dia and length e.g. M6 X 0.75 X 5 mm long. Reference = M6X5GRUBSCREW. |

| Q I have a cylindrical roller bearing that has two references on it. On the outer ring is LRJ2 and on the inner ring is LRJ1.7/8. Which one should I use? |
| A Different bearings often use common rings. In this case the bearing inch dimensions are 1.7/8 bore, 4 outer diameter and 13/16 wide. If you check in your catalogue you will find that these sizes correspond to LRJ1.7/8 but in both sizes they have a 4 inch outer diameter and are 13/16 wide so the outer ring is common to both. The fact that the bore is only 1 7/8 inches it could not be anything else, but it can cause confusion. |
| Q I have a cylindrical roller bearing that has MRJA1.3/4 on the outer ring is LRJ2 and MRJ1.3/4 on the inner ring. Which one is it? |
| A As in question 6, it’s a question of common rings. The difference between these bearings is the lip arrangements. MRJA1.3/4 has 2 lips on the inner ring and one lip on the outer ring. MRJ1.3/4 has two lips on the inner ring and no lips on the outer ring. On inspecting the bearing if you find 2 lips inner and 1 lip outer it is therefore MRJA1.4/3. |
