Mbauer67 Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Does anyone have a roller bearing kit on the shell plate for their Super 1050? I am looking for the dimension's the roller bearing and thrust washers used in the kit. My 1050 is still on order and I would like to order a roller bearing set for it. I believe there are several suppliers that sell this size bearing off the shelf at considerably less than what they are goin for on ebay. Or if someone can tell me in ID of a 1050 shell plate, that would give me a good place to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SD1 Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Don't have dimensions with me. But the newer presses the allen bolts hit the tool head with Bearing installed. You must shave plastic tabs locking tabs or use something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sardo67 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 i run mine with just the bearing, makes it smoother although the bearing tends to slide out from under the retainer a bit. def worth it since you can really lock the shell plate down.

G29SF Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 I just installed one. Wish I knew about it a long time ago. I did have to grind down my plastic tab bolts (grind the bolts, not the plastic tabs), but not very much. VERY smooth operation... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcracco Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 I just installed a bearing kit on my 1050 and this thing is pure silk. I load mostly 9mm and didn't have much of a powder spill problem but anything that smooths out the operation is a good thing. Just finished a short run and had about 4 flakes of powder on the shell plate. Definitely better. No mods needed to the machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan46n2 Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Ebay has them for $30, that bearing should be a few dollars I'm thinking... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcracco Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 The bearing assembly probably is a $6 item from Granger or MSC. $30 was worth it to me out of shear convenience; kit has correct bearing and o-ring. The thumb screws that are supplied are of lower value as I (as most people) swap entire tool heads so there is no need to remove powder measure, sensor, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what this thread is for, if its $6 lets figure out which bearing and o-ring it is. I have a few 1050s, dont want to shell out $30 for each one. I agree the rest of the stuff in the kit isn't very useful to me either. Edited June 8, 2013 by dan46n2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcracco Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 If you can afford multiple 1050's..... If mine was not nicely assembled on the machine I would mic it up.Then again you could buy one kit and go from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee G Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 (edited) Is it just a needle bearing between the lock ring and shell plate? I didn't see a thrust washer in the photo. http://hitfactorshooting.com/products/products.html If that's the case I can just take my lock ring to grainger and fit one there.

Not paying $30 for a piece that costs a few dollars is how I can afford it I'm going to take some measurements and see if McMaster has something, if you go to google and type large needle thrust bearing it comes up with a bunch of pics that look just like the bearing in the kit.

Lee G Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 OK, I just measured the lock ring and shaft. External Diameter: 2.748 or approx. 2 3/4" Internal Diameter: 1.86 or approx. 1 7/8" http://www.amazon.com/TC3244-Thrust-Bearing-Bearings-VXB/dp/B0056JIGT2/ref=sr_1_2?s=industrial&ie=UTF8&qid=1370721581&sr=1-2&keywords=needle+bearing http://www.amazon.com/dp/B006KT318S/ref=biss_dp_t_asn My question now is there will be about 1/8" play. Is this what you guys have seen with your kits and was there a thrust washer used with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcracco Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 The kit uses an o-ring. If the ID of the standard size bearing is too large, that is probably why the o-ring is there. The bearing does fit nicely under the locking ring and does not slip out as the plate rotates. So if the bearing ID is .125" over you may need an o-ring with a .050" - .060" cross section.

Where are you seeing that the kit uses an o-ring? I went back to the ebay listing and hitfactor and I'm not seeing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcracco Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Doesn't show it in the eBay listing but my kit included an o-ring and the included instructions detailed it's installation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan46n2 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 My bearings should be delivered today, Im going to try to make it to Lowes and see if they have a suitable o-ring unless someone else has a part # or measurements already? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLM Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Part number or dimensions of the O ring would be great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee G Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I just got my bearing, $3.47 shipped through amazon prime. Headed to lowes in a bit to find an O ring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
