Which spindle housing?

Recommended Posts

What is the difference with these 2 spindle housings. I understand bearing sits lower in the one on the left and it gets a spacer on top of bearing with the shorter pipe in side. And the one on right gets a longer pipe inside due to bearing sits higher. So is the one on left just for 3/4” spindle and one on the right gets the 5/8” spindle. Or……..

Yes, one on left is metric 17mm (6203 bearing 17mmx40mmx12mm), an the other is imperial bore 3/4" (6203-12  3/4"x40(mm)x12(mm) using a seal and inner spacer.

I have used the smaller metric shaft in the deep bearing housing by using an old bearing race as a spacer under the bearing. I knock the guts out of and old bearing and left over bearing race is the right thickness. This eliminates the seal and seal carrier spacer.
