Has any member had dealings with Bearings labelled Dunlop.

I have just received 6mm and 8mm bore plain spherical bearings for a linkage.

The outer is split like some other similar small spherical bearings by SKF I suppose so they can press the ball in the outer housing.

Have found a lot of side play in the Dunlop ones even when I nipped the outer in a collet.

A small imperial steel on steel spherical plain bearing I was given has less than 8mm bore with a solid outer and shows no play at all in any direction.

A year ago I bought some 45mm bearing locknuts some were made by Dunlop with very oversize threads compared to some other makers 45mm locknuts.

When I buy anymore bearing bits and pieces on Ebay will make sure they are not made by Dunlop.

These part were not expensive so put it down to poor quality control.

All sounds rather disappointing …

The website tells a good story **LINK**

… but that's often the way, these days.

Epay are notorious for rubbish. Are you sure your bearings are ‘full spec’ and made in the UK? Could just be ‘labelled’ as Dunlop. A bit like CE labelled items from china?
