Big Bearing
« on: June 10, 2006, 07:01:01 AM »
These are real big thrust bearings! An old friend gave them to me. He said they were out of a rotary cab in a forestry machine. I guess 2500 lbs thrust bearing?

I was thinking they need to be put into some heavy vawt project. Joe

i think your right. if you can get the thing mounted securly to a base and to the rotating section, it might help to eliminate a top pin or guy wires.
