Torque tube bearings
Is there a vendor that sells the good high speed bearings? There is a kit from rpm but it includes the couplers and i don't need those, just the bearings and slinger. Thanks.

I do know that if you have the bearing numbers a local bearing supply shop should stock SKF bearings in the right size. That's what I did upon cracking open my torque tube and finding every bearing was toasted- no time to order; just shopped local.

We have a local bearing company that has bearings for everything. All you need is the old bearing or bearing numbers and they can match it up.

Correct and i found some upgraded SKF bearings if you would like to know what they are send me a pm. A little more expensive but harder and stronger steel so they have a higher rpm/load rating.

i have been racing oval track stuff for a few years up here in CT and always use off the shelf Timken bearings. I've got Timken stuff that I got right from NAPA in everything in the car for 3 years now and haven't had to replace a single bearing with thousands of hard laps on them.
Just go cross reference those SKF #s with Timken stuff and you will be mint for years.
