Types of Bearings for Seat Turntable Bearings

Having your seat turntable bearings replaced can make a huge difference in the sound and quality of your music. There are several different types of bearings that you can choose from. These include swivel plates, full-bearing plates, and lock rings. The type you choose will depend on the type of music you play.

Swivel plate

Whether you are looking for a replacement for your old ball bearings, or simply want to give your new seat a little boost, you can't go wrong with this high quality swivel plate. It's made from high quality marine hardware and is available in several finish options. The best part is you don't have to be a marine engineer to figure out what to do with it. It's suitable for a variety of items, including corner cabinets and canoes.

The quality flat profile swivel plate comes pre-oiled and greased to save you the hassle of removing the old stuff. The best part is that it's sturdier and less likely to spin if you bump into it.

There are several different types of swivels to choose from, including heavy duty plates for heavy duty applications. While you're at it, consider the fact that a full bearing plate contains more ball bearings than a half bearing plate.

Full-bearing plate

Using a full bearing plate for seat turntable bearings can reduce noise and extend the life of your ball bearings. There are several things you should look for when selecting the right plate. These include the thickness of the metal, the shape and weight of the plate, the swivel angle, and the material of the bearings.

You should also check the surface of the plate for gouges, grooves, and imperfections. These can cause a problem. A quality plate comes pre-greased to minimize noise and extend the life of your ball bearings.

It is also important to note that some swivel plates will require that you plane the base so it will fit on the sole plate. These plates are made of lead bronze, which is the most reliable material for large bearings. It can withstand high temperatures for a long period of time. It can also be used for applications where weight is an issue.

Lock ring

Traditionally, a Lock ring for seat turntable bearings is a lug-shaped threaded washer. However, they are also found on bicycle track hubs, adjustable bottom brackets, and air conditioning components. They are used to prevent components from loosening during rotation.

The invention described below enables the user to seat the locking ring at the heel of the turntable without any additional tools. Moreover, the present invention accomplishes this feat with more assurance.

The invention comprises two components, a Lock ring and a pair of hydraulic rams. The rams are connected in a hydraulic circuit and exert forces in a substantially circumferential direction. The rams can be sized to seat the ring at the heel.

The invention also features a pair of retaining ring pliers that insert into holes in the lugs of the ring. When the jaws close, the ring is sized to fit the ring housing.

Lock means 60

Generally, the lock means 60 seat turntable bearings consist of an upper element with apertured flanges for attachment to a seat bottom and a lower element having flanged portions for attachment to a vehicle. The upper element and the lower element are joined by a retainer plate. The lower element contains a bearing means, the bearing means being provided between the retainer plate and the upper element. The bearing means may be a low-friction material or plastic. The securing means are also mounted to the lower element, and provide a downward force that prevents deformation of the seat and turntable elements. The securing means also adds strength to the structure, and distributes stresses over wide areas.
