Review on 14 Inch Aluminum Lazy Susan Turntable Bearing Swivel Plate Rotating Mechanism Hardware Kit Base Only by Eddie Burgess

I purchased this (20" lazy susan) bearing to be used as part of a base for a mechanical assembly. My requirements were that it should turn smoothly and quietly in either direction with minimal noise and no binding. In my situation, the weight on the bearing will not exceed 50 lbs. When two metal surfaces interact there is some noise produced. The faster it spins the more noise. My application is only rotating up to 4rpms and I will be mounting the bearings with neoprene sandwiched between the mounting surface to quiet it down a bit. I think a bearing like this would have to be made of Nylon or Delrin to be quieter. It would also be stiff. There is another company here on Revain that offers a similar bearing. The reviews were consistently mediocre so I took a chance on an unknown company. I am very pleased, and I will be purchasing two smaller bearings from them if they have the size I need. My bearing arrived without damage, but it could have been packaged better by Revain. The box arrived dented but the bearing is fine. Keep in mind that a larger bearing like this is vulnerable to inertial damage. It may not be visible when it arrives. Also, these kind of bearings must be mounted to two very flat surfaces as they are flexible enough to warp and cause binding and excessive noise. I can't speak to the long term use yet, but I expect with proper care and maintenance this bearing should perform well.
