Simply bearings

[tomlad]

After bearings for meddling pillar drill
Googling as u , do simply bearings seem extremely cheap, anyone had any dealings.
Ive ordered two but what the quality is .......

 

[agrimax]

They list their bearings from cheap budget to the dearer good stuff. What brand did you order up?

 

[tomlad]

From memory ,good budget, i have a look

It was the only option tho

Bought many bearings from them. Great service and good prices. The last budget bearings we bought there were dunlop branded and seem decent quality to me.

Used to buy bearings from ebay but I ended up with some challenger bearings which were sloppy as hell and and a sloppy SKF which I'm not sure if was a fake or one of those c3 types but wasn't very impressed with either

First googling was £70 ish hoffman bearing , genuine

Bought two delivered for 16.94 so im slightly dubious, one of the two originals is rough, binding tuther seems fine. Ordered both fingers crossed.
Ive definitely heard of simply but first time ordered.

See what rocks up . Cheers
Cant actually see on invoice what make ive ordered.

Just been looking
Eu budget economy quality
Hadn't read thst bit , but only 3 options, open , shielded, rubber . Original shielded
Suck it and see eh

 

[agrimax]

Those options aren't related to the quality,just if and how they are sealed. Prefer to stick with Timkin or FAG but I suppose it depends on the application.
I've found Simply to be quite good and quick on delivery as are Bearing Boys.

Had from Simply Bearings before no bother and good prices, just be careful to buy the right spec for your job. Sometimes a cheap "budget" bearing is fine.
Also had from Bearing Boys no bother either.
I was needing a pair of wheel bearings for the front hub on a NH the other day and bought from Bearings Online, they were miles cheaper than anybody else so much so I reckon they have made a mistake with their listing.
NH £95.40 odd
Best elsewhere £60-75
Bearings online £42.78 and they are listed as Timken which I would think as good quality. I ordered other stuff which was not in stock and the lassie emailed to ask me if I wanted to cancel or wait. Arriving on Thurs so will know then if the bearings are chinese cheese!!

Its a pillar drill im fetteling , the pair is supporting the top pully and driving the quill , outer female , only top bearing was rough , bottom seems fine to me , ordered pair because of price, load on these shouldn't be to high i don't think. May swap both , decide wen they come.
Bottom thrust bearing for quill has play , im presuming it should have none? , not messed with to many thrust bearings before, it is smooth but has play, my thoughts being that that bearings quality is far more important, prob ring simply tomorrow for a chat, others were posted this am.
The thrust has a grease ripple.

 

[tomlad]

Bearings come this am with posty , look , feel right , both installed, talked to them today, thrust sourced , same one , hoffman £ 45 + ordered.
So fair i can't fault them.

Yeah I use simplybearings.co.uk all the time no problems with quality on seals or bearings. Fast free delivery and excellent phone support. Can't say anything bad about them.

Another vote for them here. Very quick delivery and knowledgeable, helpful staff. Never had a problem with anything they've supplied.

 

[tomlad]

Tuther bearing came , all good, took a few days but i only opted for cheapest delivery so that's my fault,.I'll be using them again, plug on colin furze other day i noticed.

 

[Badshot]

I've sourced loads of bearings from them.
Got all the powerflow bearings for the combine header from them. Rebearinged the belts completely for a couple hundred quid, saved a fortune over MF prices.
Also got bearings and housings to redo the Bateman boom completely, very cheaply.
No issues at all.

We use them all the time, great people to deal with.
