Polisher Needle Bearing For Pol04

Features

• Genuine Tork Craft needle bearing for the POL04 polisher.
• Matched to the original POL04 shaft size and housing fit.
• Needle roller design for high load capacity in a compact bearing.
• Precision construction for smooth, low-friction rotation.
• Designed to handle continuous polishing and compounding duties.
• Direct replacement spare referenced as POL04-20.

Benefits

• Reduces roughness, rattle and vibration in the POL04 drive system.
• Helps the backing pad stay stable on the surface for a better finish.
• Protects gears, shafts and housings from misalignment and excess movement.
• Extends the service life of the polisher instead of replacing the complete tool.
• Genuine OEM bearing simplifies future fault-finding and servicing.

Extra Information

Typical symptoms of a failing needle bearing include a rumbling or scraping sound from the nose of the polisher, visible play when you push the pad side-to-side, or a “notchy” feel when you rotate the spindle by hand with the tool unplugged. Replacing the worn bearing with the POL04-20 spare restores the tight, controlled feel you expect from a professional rotary polisher.

Whenever you service the bearing area, it is a good opportunity to inspect the surrounding gears, seals and grease condition. Cleaning out old compound and dust, then applying a suitable fresh grease where recommended, helps keep the whole drive assembly running quietly and reliably for everyday workshop and detailing work.

Pro Tip

Pro Tip: Use the correct pullers and press tools when removing and installing needle bearings – avoid hammering directly on the shaft or bearing body. After fitting the new POL04-20 bearing and reassembling the gearbox, spin the spindle by hand with the machine unplugged to confirm smooth movement, then run the POL04 at low speed with no load to check for quiet, even operation before returning it to full-duty work.

Specifications

Safety

• Always unplug the polisher from the mains before opening the housing or working on internal parts.
• Allow the tool to cool down fully before handling bearings, grease or gears.
• Ensure the new bearing is correctly seated and aligned in the housing before final assembly.
• Refit all covers, guards and screws securely and test the polisher under no load before normal use.
• If you are unsure about mechanical repairs, have the work carried out by a qualified technician or an approved service centre.
