This bearing supports a rotating shaft within the baler’s sub-assembly, maintaining alignment between the driven and driving components. It is pressed into a housing that locates the shaft relative to the frame; any radial play here causes vibration that accelerates wear on the adjacent seals and drive elements. The bearing’s raceway is machined to the same internal clearance as the original assembly, so no shimming or adapter sleeves are required during replacement. On installation, ensure the housing bore is clean and free of burrs, and press the bearing onto the shaft using the inner ring face only.
