BP Interact 412 Y Axis Thrust Bearing

[JHCHOPPERS]

Does anyone know a source for a BP Interact 412 Y Axis Thrust Bearing? Doing a rebuild/retrofit and this one has about 0.006 play in it.

Thanks,

Have you tried Hardinge?

Yep, just got the cost back for the bearing only.... $720.00

So, we will be making a new assembly with an off the self bearing. I am thinking total cost ~$100.00

This guy might have them as well, BPT Parts 203 877 8054 Mike, He may be cheaper than Hardinge

Did some research over the last couple of days. There are cheap thrust bearings ( $20.00 - $40.00 range ) , good for General Purpose applications and there are High Precision ones ( $300.00 - $500.00 range ) for precision applications like Milling Machine Thrust Bearings.

So, the cost to build our own is now about $800.00! The good news is, there is a guy on eBay (seller name is partsman06460 ) and he has NEW replacement bearings for $555.00

Hope this helps someone else sometime.....
