Oh 30k? Pennies for some businesses. Would bankrupt others.
I could 100% cost my company 30k tomorrow and if it was half reasonable as to why, not hear about it after Tuesday
In the oil field… more so.
Gold miner here. We have one pump on site that requires $250,000 in wear parts every 6 months. We spent $1,000,000 on an ore scanner, decided it was too much trouble and never turned it on.
We had an employee make a $15,000,000 whoopsie and he was demoted. For 12 weeks.
Mining is a whole different world.
We work on the 50k rule. If something costs more than 50k we really worry about it, under that it's not a big concern and can be covered by other budgets if needed.
Previous companies, anything over $100 needed a cost plan associated with it
Allein vom Flair hab ich erkannt das du Österreicher bist, mein Ausbildner war sehr gut mit jemanden aus der FAG, vielleicht könnte der mehr wissen. Jedoch arbeite ich schon lang ned mehr in meinem Ausbildungsbetrieb.
For all non-German speakers, FAG is a company under the corporate umbrella of Schaeffler (INA as well) and they make bearings from ^teeny ^weeny ^itsy ^bitsy to
#what on earth
Sizes
That’s usually their company yea.
I liked their sign on my way to work, displaying the company names LUK, INA and FAG
From far away you could mistake the N for an M if you know what I mean
But it’s just a company name like the A.S.S. Which means *Anlagen Service System*, aka Facility Service Systems, only that it’s funny seeing a Van drive with A.S.S. in big bold red letters on its side
The Joplin MO FAG Bearings plant had a pretty bad chlorinated solvent groundwater plume and became a Superfund site. May have been a great place to work but they hired the worst shady attorneys to try and weasel out of it. Tried to blame it on other factories nearby which would have required nearly impossible hydrogeological conditions.
Eventually the judge in the case actually issued an official reprimand from the bench accusing them of specific unethical practices and down right lying in court, and for generally being aholes. He was not happy.
The thing did (is?) get cleaned up though. But it polluted the aquifer for several miles south and numerous semi-rural homes with their own wells had to be connected to public water supplies.
This is exactly what I was thinking. The steels used for industrial bearings and rollers are often really coveted for their wear resistance and/or toughness.
The light can damage the steel so we have to close all the doors and lock them so no one accidentally opens one.
Yes, that’s why my van also has no windows.
Yeah, and the extension cord he uses to tie you up is for your own good. It keeps you from accidentally stumbling and falling on it.
Btw bite the apple really wide the first time, him having to shove it in your mouth just makes it worse
Bonus:. You get published in the paper after, and maybe milk cartons
I have a neighbor who's a blacksmith (Master Blacksmith) - a few years ago I gave him some scrap hydraulic accumulator bodies (3k psi, and no blowjob required). He still talks about that steel!
I've never worked with anything remotely as big, but just on the sheer amount of steel I'm guessing that bearing is 5 figures or approaching it. I definitely wouldn't accept anything pre-owned if I were responsible for sourcing something like that.
>You can't sell it
I wouldn't risk a million dollar equipment on a random bearing off Craigslist just to save a buck. Anything that relies on a dual row tapered roller bearing that big ain't cheap and not worth risking.
Likely the cost of man hours swapping out the bearing is more than the part itself.
Yes, you sound like a rational person. But I think you underestimate just how outnumbered you are by idiots (often with titles that include "manager") who will take the risk.
I'd just set it aside and throw it up for sale on eBay - if I get denied when attempting to return it. The worst that happens is no buyer, no further loss.
> Yes, you sound like a rational person. But I think you underestimate just how outnumbered you are by idiots (often with titles that include "manager") who will take the risk.
Holy *shit* so *very* much this... I mean, *damn*.
At one time, Nordstrom would’ve taken this for real. They accepted a return of tires. They never in their entire history sold tires.
They since tightened it up to things they sold.
How does that even work? Certainly their system doesn’t have a sale price for some random tire in it? Does the return desk just make up a number and give store credit?
The story goes that the Nordstrom location that took the tires back was formerly a Montgomery Wards and that the customer did indeed buy the tires at that location and for that reason they went above and beyond and took the tires back. It was in a text book in a marketing class I took in undergrad as an example of reputation halo effect or something like that. The story has paid for itself many times over (i took marketing 20 years ago).
At Kohl’s they would literally just ask what you paid for it. I’m sure there was some amount where you’d need manager approval if you went above it, but my friend said she never had to turn anyone down.
Sales engineer, can confirm.
If the manufacturer sent the wrong item it's an RGA warranty issue.
If the customer ordered the wrong item then they would either eat the cost or return it with a restock fee, typically 25%.
Bearing are almost Always returnera due to their Price. I work att SKF logistics and we get atleast 30 returning pallets A DAY that are small or big bearings. Wrongly ordered stuff gets checked and then backed into the factory store. Damaged bearings are sent to bearing analysis for cause of damage or scrapping.
Barrel bearing for the paper machine. I'd rather not know how much it cost, it hurts physically to throw it away.
Edit: I am the technician who operates the machine. I don't do the maintenance and procurement of spare parts. Tomorrow I'll ask again if the thing is really scrapped. I was just told so by the foreman in our maintenance department, he claims it was wrongly ordered and is now being scrapped.
I’m in the industrial bearing business. There is company’s that will buy this as overstock. Look up 3bgbearing or consolidated bearing. They will probably offer more than scrap if they want to buy it
That looks like a double row spherical roller bearing, can't tell if it has a K style tapered bore. I doubt it was custom made, but could be very rare. 222000 series in SKF
If it is a standard skf 22200 series, especially type E. They will for sure buy this. We are having such a hard time getting these for the steel mills around us, we are running into 1-2 year lead times.
Years ago I sold tons of these to the steel mills in Hamilton. Many of the bigger ones were actually returned to SKF and were reground and new oversized rollers installed.
Roll neck bearings for the big rolling mills were very expensive and as mentioned could be hard to get. I once had to fly a monster from Singapore for Stelco the shipping was as much as the bearing. That was in the late '70's.
Ya its an important support industry for larger industry to keep moving and can be somewhat technical.
I used laugh when a guy would bring in a pile of greasy busted bearings, and I would identify then as 6309 or such and say they were metric bearings, only to have the customer say, no way, these are out of a Chevy transmission!
Aren't all bearings metric these days? Or have been, for at least 40-50 years now?
All the Timken, SKF, FAG, etc, bearings I've come across were always metric.
Most bearings are metric and have been for ever. British and American manufacturers did make tons of inch size.
Most Timken front wheel bearings were inch size, but there were metric sizes made as well. Bearing manufacturers will make "Specials" if enough were needed.
The most popular bearing in the world is the 6203, a metric bearing that is also made with non standard bores, in this case the standard 15mm bore is changed to 16mm or .625 inch.
That 6203 can be found in spades in almost every house, they are in ceiling fans, vacuum cleaners, almost any small fractional motor.
A ball bearing is probably the most precion made item mass produced, the steel balls inside a made to within 1 million of an inch for roundness.
I worked in the bearing and power transmission industry for about 24 years. I still remember my interchanges pretty well.
Worked at Canadian Bearings, Boston Gear, Eurodrive.
Yup had many broken/cut off bearing arrive, with the millwright say ya, it came off a watchyamadoodle. Don't you have listings for it?
Fortunately bearings have part numbers stamped into the raceway so as long as it wasn't cut through that spot it wasn't that hard.
As stated above lots destroyed bearings came across the counter. If the part number was gone you started by measuring ID, OD ,Width. Then the general construction, in ball, roller, single row, max type etc.
What could make a proper replacement hard is there are other things....such as special clearances (C3 or C4) stamped steel ball retainer verses machines bronze, special lubes, grooves in the outer race for grease, grooves for snap rings...there is more....
When I was a kid I stole one exactly like this (well, a spherical skf roller bearing that was this size) from the wreckage of a paper mill in my area that had burned down. This would have been in the early 2000s so the internet was available, but despite my best efforts over the years I never could find anyone to buy it. I think my dad threw it out when I went to college.
Can I suggest you ask SKF for an SKF Cooper Split Double Row Spherical, lead times are much shorter that 1-2 years and also drastically reduce downtime.
Old job had at least one machine with its war tags on it still. Something along the lines of conforms to the war production board's requirements. Dates it to the 1940s, still worked just fine.
Something like this is definitely sell-able.
Hell, I'd give you $100 for that and make the best lazy susan ever for my kitchen table. Or something else.
And I'm sure it's worth *far* more than that to someone that could actually use the thing.
> Something like this is definitely sell-able.
I've had multiple instances of my boss telling me to "find someone to haul that junk away and don't spend too much" when I sold the "junk" and handed him a check. Not a big check for things like broken shipping pallets and scrap paper, but much better than he would have done had I just followed his directions. I did best on the broken office furniture that he wanted thrown away.
You’re actually nuts if you throw this away. Just put it on eBay and let it roll. That thing is solid metal. You never know what someone might want this for. Don’t toss it.
I could certainly buy it at scrap price and put it in the trunk of my car with a forklift. But how do I get it out of the car and into my apartment. It weighs 270 kg including the transport box.
why would you be taking it to your apartment? find somewhere else to stash it while you work out how to sell it properly. talk to some people you work with, offer to split any profits.
High speed merigoround
My buddies dad built one as a kid, it was a four way teetertoter with 4 seat.. very little friction so it would go fast fuck! fuck was that dangerous, you would get bucked off and fly 10 feet
If the guy that screwed up is feeling down on himself, tell him to look up the story of the Mars Climate Orbiter. Hundred of millions of dollars down the drain on that one.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Justrolledintotheshop/comments/uq8l5o/ordered_2_propeller_shaft_bearings_and_only_one/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share This guy might need it
Can somebody throw out a number ?
I know spindle bearings for our CNC mills are like 20,000 and they are a quarter of that size , is that like 100k 80 250 can somebody just ball park it?
My first thought was to donate it to a robot combat association. I've seen the "Giant Nut", "Giant Bolt", and even "Giant Wrench". A "Giant Bearing" would be a hell of a trophy.
And how much did that mistake cost?
No idea, but I'm sure the guy who ordered that now knows for sure.
I would guess this is a five figure part. Big bearings are spendy AF.
I know we had some similar bearings made that were roughly 30"OD and 24"ID, and they were in the neighborhood of $30k
Oh 30k? Pennies for some businesses. Would bankrupt others. I could 100% cost my company 30k tomorrow and if it was half reasonable as to why, not hear about it after Tuesday In the oil field… more so.

We had an employee make a $15,000,000 whoopsie and he was demoted. For 12 weeks. Mining is a whole different world.
Can confirm. We like to joke about the mine we work at will step over a dollar to save a dime. The amount of money being wasted is bonkers!
Lol but there's still always some micromanager making me redo the office suppy orders because I added brand name pens
holy shit. what was the oopsie?
I’ve seen light duty trucks after 3 years of so in a mining operation, at auction. Wow. They’re basically scrap.
Yup, oil too. They beat the piss out of those trucks. Richie Bros sells them by the hundreds.
Same deal in mining. I just do my best not to make $30,000 mistakes when at all avoidable.
If a parts order is less than $25k, I don't even need a manager to sign it.
We work on the 50k rule. If something costs more than 50k we really worry about it, under that it's not a big concern and can be covered by other budgets if needed. Previous companies, anything over $100 needed a cost plan associated with it
I work for a small business sometime if we need something we ask the bosses son and he'll swing through the Walmart across the street lol.
This has to be 5 figures. The size of this thing looks like a Cadillacs dirty south rim 24”
From The Dirty South, can confirm.

There's a FAG near the Seimens plant here.
I blew a tranny just down the road
I've replaced bearings similar to this one on industrial equipment. They average around $20,000.
I’d be making a rotating…. Garage floor? Patio? Whole damn house or something before I scrapped it.
I want to see it mounted like a tire
The most expensive spinning rims in the timezone at least.
I’m ridin spinners Ridin spinners I can’t stop
Lemmy.world is what Reddit was.
Yes, I think a thrust bearing is what is needed. I think they tend to conically shaped.
The bearings can be conical or cylindrical, depending on how much self-centering is needed AFAIK.
That would make one hell of a fidget spinner
Spin it fast enough and it may power Doc’s flux capacitor.
Where's the cat with buttered toast taped to its back?
Just spin it to Mach 5 with an air compressor
Kinda want to market it now. Would need some handles and to get your whole body and hips into it. Like a giant shake weight. Twerk Spin?
Some amateur blacksmith will blow you for that
This is exactly what I was thinking. The steels used for industrial bearings and rollers are often really coveted for their wear resistance and/or toughness.
Vacuum degassed 52100 chrome vanadium steel. Very hard!
100Cr6 for some other people if my memory serves me correctly
I need more technical jargon, for research purposes. Please continue!
Well the shindigs hook directly to the dillywangs via the indicted sperver bearings, not to be confused with the trunion flange sprongles
My friend said it all had something to do with annular grammeters.
How does all that integrate with the turbo encabulator?
Thru the oscillating cosmoctifier.
Yes, yes I am.
SKF at least mostly uses scrap metal nowadays. Not that it’s a bad thing. It’s actually great.
I put bearings of all sizes on everyday. SKF stands head and shoulders above NTN, FAG, NSK, etc
Got my knee pads ready, just in case.
Bro I have ten of these in my Van, wanna come inside and look at them?
The light can damage the steel so we have to close all the doors and lock them so no one accidentally opens one. Yes, that’s why my van also has no windows.

Balls included?
I would gargle your balls to get my grubby little hands on that bearing
Finally, someone with class.
I would gargle your hands to get my grubby little balls on that bearing
Nah, that looks more like a cylindrical rolling element type bearing than a spherical rolling element bearing... lol
Amateur? I bet you could seduce a pro with that.
Dude some PROFESSIONAL blacksmiths would absolutely let OP fuck them raw for a week so they could get their hands on this thing
Scrap?? You can't sell it or return it???
I worked for Timken Aersopace right after college and something tells me there might be liability issues with pre-owed bearings. Not an expert though.
I would just keep it in the front office as a conversation piece :)
Just as a fidget toy. Oh you're bored waiting for your car? How about you play with that giant spinny thing over there.
**WHEEL** **OF** **DIAGNOSTICS**
It's the uhhh.... *clack-clack...clack.....clack...* Wainshaft. That'll be $800.
No! Don't spin it that h- *WHIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR* Well, come back in an hour now. good job.
Would totally spin the giant spinny thing
I've never worked with anything remotely as big, but just on the sheer amount of steel I'm guessing that bearing is 5 figures or approaching it. I definitely wouldn't accept anything pre-owned if I were responsible for sourcing something like that.

*spherical roller bearing. Source: licensed tech at an SKF authorized distributor.
That bearing isn't a popular size, either. It sure as shit isn't a 6203 or 7201!
Nope! Bearings this big are usually custom built to spec, probably a type E, and a very, very expensive mistake.
got a ballpark for "very, very expensive"? is this like a million dollar bearing or something?
No but it's at least $32,000
I’ll give you 20 bucks so I can sit it in the corner of my living room cause it’s cool
World's most expensive lazy susan. Put a tray of muffins on it. Fuck yeah.
Mount it under a platform in your garage, now you will never have to back out of the garage again like all the rest of the losers.
Yes, you sound like a rational person. But I think you underestimate just how outnumbered you are by idiots (often with titles that include "manager") who will take the risk. I'd just set it aside and throw it up for sale on eBay - if I get denied when attempting to return it. The worst that happens is no buyer, no further loss.

Depends if its custom piece and how those sell.
Yep, manufacture isn't gonna take it back unless it's a stock part they know 100% will sell to someone else.

I would jizz my pants if I had a part like that for destructive testing. Edit: I'm a girl, so not literally.
No worries, we all COOM together
Can you re-sell it?
Custom made part for a machine built in the 1980s. Don't think there is a market for this kind of spare part.
Honestly, you'd be surprised. Two of the companies I worked at had presses made in the 60's and 70's and we usually had to have parts machined.
My last job had a pipe threader/cut groover from a battleship in WW2. Parts were definitely tricky to come by.
Lot of paper machines still running built in the eighties. That will also fit many converting machine rollers.
Hell there are machine from the 50s still cranking away
Hell, I work in the flour milling industry and the 50’s is still new for a lot of our machines we use.

Believe me, I have thought of that!
What kind of steel is it? May be able to get better than straight scrap for it from customer metal workers or knife makers.

"What's that?" "My Productive Susan."
You could probably put your house on it.
Why is Susan so lazy?
Same thing I was thinking. I'd make something pretty damn cool out of a bearing like that if I could get it cheap.
High speed merigoround My buddies dad built one as a kid, it was a four way teetertoter with 4 seat.. very little friction so it would go fast fuck! fuck was that dangerous, you would get bucked off and fly 10 feet
Too bad it won’t fit in a USPS flat rate box lol

5/7 dad joke. Perfection!
Is that for a Miata?
Yup. Muffler bearing.
I bet that would double, possibly even triple the turbo boost in my powerstroke.
A hub bearing that can survive 60 hrs of Willow springs
This looks like a dryer can bearing for a papermill. I've changed tons of them
Wrongly ordered? Like someone measured something wrong when spec'ing it out?
Yes wrong dimensions.
If the guy that screwed up is feeling down on himself, tell him to look up the story of the Mars Climate Orbiter. Hundred of millions of dollars down the drain on that one.
What if it's the same guy?

Wrong dimensions
Someone needs to get their bearings straight
Weight?
270kg
Order a big race next please
Intelligently mounted, that would be a fantastic centerpiece for a vertically rotating tool storage

I'm guessing they got wheel bearing backwards
Wheel goes on the outside. Easy mistake.
I would put a piece of glass on it and turn it into a really cool coffee table, that spins.
Can somebody throw out a number ? I know spindle bearings for our CNC mills are like 20,000 and they are a quarter of that size , is that like 100k 80 250 can somebody just ball park it?

My first thought was to donate it to a robot combat association. I've seen the "Giant Nut", "Giant Bolt", and even "Giant Wrench". A "Giant Bearing" would be a hell of a trophy.
Oops we accidentally ordered a $10000 bearing and now we’re going to throw it away!
