Description

5/8" x 1-3/8" Steel Ball Bearing with Retaining Ring – Free-Spinning, Low-Drag Design


This 5/8" x 1-3/8" steel ball bearing with a retaining ring is built for high-performance applications such as racing go-karts, mowers, and other custom front hub setups. It features low-contact seals for reduced rolling resistance and comes with little to no grease (unless otherwise noted), allowing for maximum free spin right out of the box.


Designed for speed and durability, this bearing should be lubricated before each race day using a high-quality bearing oil such as Lubtek or TRI-FLO. Avoid using penetrating oils, which are not suitable for long-term bearing protection.


Bearing Specifications:

  • Inside Diameter (ID): 0.625" (5/8")
  • Outside Diameter (OD): 1.375" (1-3/8")
  • Width: 0.432"
  • Seal Type: Low-contact
  • Includes: Retaining ring for secure hub fit
  • Lubrication: Light or dry; oil recommended before use


Key Features:

  • Built for free-spinning, low-friction performance
  • Includes retaining ring for added stability in hub applications
  • Ideal for go-kart racing, mowers, and custom hub setups
  • Precision fit for 5/8" axles and 1-3/8" hub bores
  • Easy to maintain and oil between races

Note: Always measure your hub bore and spindle shaft to ensure compatibility before ordering.
