Bearing Type Identification Help!

[woodgate]

I need to know what type of bearing this is. It's used on a spinning shooting target. It has a grease zerk on the right so it has to be a bearing I assume. The shaft is probably 1" diameter solid rod (if that helps for scale).

Also where would I get one?

hard to tell from such a small pic, but I would guess, based on the lock collars, it is not a bearing but just a bronze bushing...

Agree, bushing. Bearing does not make sense, as the item is used outside in the elements, and is not sealed

I would put in a zerk fitting and try to grease it before trying to get a new bushing I doubt if the rpm is very fast.

Ayuh,..... My guess is it's steel on steel bushin',....

Ya grease it so's it don't rust solid,...

I would try greasing it first. As for the other answer, there are bearing and seal places out there, both brick and mortar stores and e-stores. You could also try McMaster Carr.

You could also fill out where you live with at least a state on your Profile. Someone, including myself, might be able to direct you to a store.

Steel on steel. Grease it up good and see what happens.

Spinner targets are usually just a steel rod going through a steel tube that the target is welded to. The collars are just to keep it from sliding around on the rod.
Grease it up and it will be good.

Take it apart . . . . use fine sandpaper and clean up both surfaces.

Then GREASE the living heck out of it . . . and . . . put it back to use !!

Good information guys! I'm trying to make this target and i couldn't tell what the manufacturer used. Thanks again!

Move one of the collars out of the way. If there is a bronze bushing in there, you will be able to see the end of it.
