POLISHER BEARING POL05

Features

• Genuine Tork Craft replacement bearing for the POL05 polisher.
• Matched to the original POL05 shaft and housing dimensions.
• Supports the rotating assembly at a critical motor or gear box location.
• Precision bearing construction for smooth, low-friction operation.
• Designed for typical workshop duty cycles and polishing loads.
• Supplied under the POL05-08 spare part reference.

Benefits

• Reduces vibration and harshness from a worn or noisy bearing.
• Helps the backing pad run truer for a more even polishing finish.
• Protects gears, housings and shafts from extra stress caused by play.
• Extends the life of the POL05 instead of replacing the whole machine.
• Maintains a professional feel and sound that operators can trust.

Extra Information

Typical signs that a bearing like the POL05-08 needs replacement include a rumbling or grinding noise from the head or motor, noticeable side play when you try to rock the pad, or a rough feeling when you spin the spindle by hand with the tool unplugged. Continuing to use the polisher in this condition can quickly wear gears and other support points.

Using a genuine Tork Craft bearing ensures the correct internal clearance, bore, outside diameter and width for the POL05 polisher. This is especially important where the bearing sits in a tight housing or runs at high speed under load – the right fitment helps keep the drive system reliable for day-to-day work in panel shops and detailing bays.

Pro Tip

Pro Tip: When you replace the POL05-08 bearing, take the opportunity to inspect the matching bearing seats, shafts and gears for wear or heat marks. Always press the bearing on and off using the correct tools, supporting the race you are working with – never hammer directly on the inner or outer race. After reassembly, run the POL05 at low speed with no load first and listen for a smooth, even note before putting it back into full-duty use.

Safety

• Always unplug the polisher from the mains before opening the housing or gear box.
• Allow the tool to cool down fully before handling internal components.
• Use suitable pullers and press tools when removing and installing bearings.
• Ensure all screws, circlips and covers are correctly refitted before testing.
• Test the POL05 under no load after reassembly and only return it to normal duty once you are happy with the sound and feel.
• If you are unsure about mechanical repairs, have the work carried out by a qualified technician or an approved service centre.
