Hi all,

Anyone have a Wheel Hub Bearing lying around? Or know of a scrapper yard? 

cheers!

Wheel bearing for what exactly? Is that a Landrover wheel bearing? Is that what you want?

:-)

Yeah, but any wheel bearing would probably do. I'm making a "body spinner", it's basically a lazy susan but for a human to stand on. The requirements are it's gotta be really smooth and sturdy, so I can't use any old lazy susan mechanism. Car Wheel Bearings are really good for this. And I only need one, haha.

Thanks, I actually walked over since they were so close to the hackspace. Couldn't even find an office...

I'm going to be building something similar, though I don't need it to be super smooth. I had been looking at using either of these things:

(the 1000mm version)

I'd be interested to know how you get on with the wheel bearing and how much it costs, it seems like maybe it good be a good alternative.

Car wheel bearings can often take multiple tons of force. Think how much load is being applied if you hit a speed bump at 40mph.

I have seen quite a few wind turbine projects that use them due to them being cheap (£5 or so from car scrapper) and strong.
