Joejr915 Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 I got 2 maxloads for my crank but they don't have grooves for the clips. Do people machine their own grooves in them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
registered user Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 (edited) should be clip bearing on the clutch side. just send it back and get one with a clip. they make the groove when they make the bearing. only time you might want to machine a groove is if you were using tz style on both ends then you may want to use a clip bearing in the center but you would cut a groove in the case not the bearing. this situation doesnt pertain to you however Edited January 16, 2015 by registered user Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BellicoseBanshee Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 I concur, TZ and Max Load should have groove and come with a full clip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surfrjag Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 Why cant everyone use a tz on pto side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BellicoseBanshee Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 A TZ can be used, but it is only really useful when the application calls for a high radial load. The downside to a cylindrical bearing, such as a TZ, is that it is not capable of withstanding the perpendicular load that a ball bearing can withstand (some bearings have tapered cylinders to accommodate a perpendicular load). Many people who use a TZ also use straight cut gears, for the stock angled gears can put a perpendicular load on the TZ bearing which could lead to premature failure (especially if the races are out of line). A max load bearing is a better choice unless the engine's power is high enough to warrant the use of a TZ bearing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleeper06 Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 As stated straight cuts no issue but side load can cause failure . I have put together a few without straight cuts and no issues 3 yrs later depends on rider , hp, abuse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joejr915 Posted January 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 I was told by the person I got them off maxload don't have grooves for clips. They are use on the stator side only I need a tz bearing for the clutch side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
registered user Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 (edited) I was told by the person I got them off maxload don't have grooves for clips. They are use on the stator side only I need a tz bearing for the clutch side. maxload (deep groove ballbearing) can be purchased with or without a clip. tz (cylindrical roller bearing) can also be purchased with or without a clip, along with numerous different cage materials. theres quite a few different companies that make these bearings depending on what brand you prefer. if theres no name on your bearings then their junk from china Edited January 17, 2015 by registered user Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
