Thread: Replacement Bearings - Myford ML7 Motor

29/06/2023 13:04:05

Many thanks for all your responses.

The bearings I am looking for are indeed the white metal bearings from the electric motor.

OD = 20mm, ID = 17mm, Wall = 1.5mm

My local electric motor supplier/repairers happen to be an agent for the now Brook Crompton motors. They told me that they would need to machine some new bearings and possibly machine down the spindle shaft, all at the rather hefty price tag of between £400 - 500 - that's replacement upgraded motor money from what research I have done. So before I dig too deep into my pockets, I want to see if I can just get the bearings myself, either off the shelf or made to measure, as I can do everything else.

If only I had a lathe that worked, I could potentially machine my own

Hi all,

Has anyone been able to find suitable replacement bearings for the ML7 fitted with a Crompton Parkinson motor? I thought that there might have been an off-the-shelf oilite bearing that would fit but my local bearing supplier couldn’t find anything in their books.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
