If I just find a larger ID like 47 or 50 angular contact bearing with 80 or 90 OD, can I substitute it? Of course I'll make the bearing box accomodate it. Thanks Mutzy
Hows that will not fit? Over no, but there is a sequence of pressing the parts together. That's why the pulley is bored from a separate pulley and then pressed together. if you machine right on shaft, then you will have to machine a smaller pulley so the bearing passes on top of it. But then the ball screwe size pass trough hole, so you will have to check if that's at all possible. I believe it was possible but not sure now. Have to check
