I heard the noise before it happened but couldn't figure out where it was coming from. The shaft was so hot I burned my hand on it sliding the driveshaft off. I'm going with cheap chinese bearings next time. Timken used to mean quality! I'm sick of replacing these!UPDATE:They now failed a third time. I was able to find genuine USA made new old stock RA100RRB AG bearings. You can actually feel the difference! They have slightly more resistance when turning, and a finer finish. I have my fingers crossed. This has been an expensive lesson for me, is anything made in this country anymore ?Just a note- the locking ring MUST be rotated in the same direction as the shaft rotation before tightening the set screw.

Product arrived. Clearly says Made in China on box and bearings while picture shows Made in USA on bearing- misleading!Also no instructions on how to install.I called Timken and they said not responsible because seller is not authorized distributor.Reflects poorly on all.

These bearings were an exact replacement for the two bearings that I was replacing in a Star rock grinder/polisher, a lapidary machine. The old bearings had picked up some dirt over the years, so the machine wasn't running very smoothly, and I decided to replace the bearings.These Timken bearings are designed for agricultural equipment, so they are designed to be exposed to dirt and water. They have a very effective set of seals, so effective that the new bearings are a little stiff due to friction in the seals. This is not a problem, because you want the seals to be tight to keep out all the dirt and water. They are a great choice to use in wet lapidary equipment. Note that these particular bearings are not absolutely flat on the outer surface of the bearing. The outer metal ring actually has a very slight "crown" to it, which is required by the Star machine, but it might not be what you want.After examining the old bearings in the rock grinder, I didn't quite understand how the bearings were retained in the machine, because the bearing itself has no setscrew on the shaft sleeve. Once I bought the new bearings, I read the instructions, which clued me in. If you look carefully at the picture on the Amazon product page, you can see that the bearing shaft sleeve is actually not perfectly circular, it is an eccentric. Each bearing also comes with a separate metal collar that mounts on the shaft adjacent to the bearing. This collar also has an eccentric, that meshes perfectly with the bearing eccentric. The collar also has a setscrew, to secure it to the shaft, as well as a second hole, not all the way through, that originally mystified me. Anyway, the installation goes like this: You slide the collar on the shaft, then slide the bearing on the shaft, then line up the eccentrics on the bearing and collar so you can push the collar as close as possible to the bearing, overlapping the eccentrics. Then you turn the collar on the shaft, but don't turn the bearing, to engage the eccentrics (they bump into each other). Then you use a drift punch in the second hole in the collar, and bang it with a hammer to try to rotate the collar more, which firmly locks the two eccentrics together so the bearing and collar are now firmly locked together. Finally, you tighten the setscrew in the collar to secure the bearing/collar assembly to the shaft.The bearings are very nice quality, and after installing them in the rock machine, it ran much smoother. I expect to get many years of use out of them.
