Review on πŸ›οΈ Sydien Self-Alignment Pillow Flange Bearing: Optimal Bearing Solution for Precise Alignment by Nick Winnett

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Terrible quality, broke immediately but can be made to work again

You have to sit down with a hammer and flat head screwdriver and bang the center bearings into "align" they are not self aligning. The holes for the locking screws are cleaned immediately. I tapped the holes for the next size up and they popped off too. Cheap badly cast metal. I had to unscrew a small metal bracket, fill it with epoxy and screw in the set screws.

Pros
  • βœ…The bearing has a wide inner ring with two grub screws for attachment to the shaft. self-leveling. You can easily adjust or replace the bearing. The vertical surface of the bearing can be adjusted and changed. If you find that the product is not perpendicular to the installation plane, adjust it manually.
Cons
  • Something else
