POLISHER BEARING 6001 FOR POL05

Features

• Genuine Tork Craft replacement bearing for the POL05 polisher.
• Standard 6001 deep groove ball bearing size for versatile support points.
• Matched to the original POL05 shaft and housing dimensions.
• Low-friction design for smooth, efficient rotation at polishing speeds.
• Suitable for use at motor or gearbox support locations as per parts diagram.
• Supplied under the POL05-22 spare part reference.

Benefits

• Reduces rumbling, grinding and vibration from a worn bearing.
• Helps the backing pad run truer for a more consistent finish.
• Protects gears, shafts and housings from misalignment and extra stress.
• Extends the working life of the POL05 rather than replacing the whole tool.
• Restores the solid, professional feel that operators expect from their polisher.

Extra Information

Typical signs that a bearing like the 6001 needs replacement include a noticeable increase in noise from the head or motor, a rough or “notchy” feel when you turn the spindle by hand, or visible play at the pad when you try to rock it side-to-side. If these symptoms appear even after brushes and other basic checks, the bearing support is often the next place to look.

The POL05-22 bearing is specified by Tork Craft for use in the POL05 polisher, so its clearances, dimensions and load rating are correctly matched to the application. Using the right bearing, installed with proper tools and fresh grease, helps the entire drive system run as intended, especially in busy panel shops and detailing bays where the machine sees daily use.

Pro Tip

Pro Tip: When replacing the POL05-22 bearing, always clean old grease and debris out of the surrounding housing first. Use suitable pullers or press tools to remove and install the 6001 bearing – avoid striking the shaft or bearing directly. After reassembly, run the POL05 at low speed with no load and listen for a smooth, even motor and gear note before returning it to full-duty polishing work.

Specifications

Safety

• Always unplug the polisher from the mains before opening the housing or gearbox.
• Allow the tool to cool down fully before handling internal components.
• Use correct tools to remove and install bearings – do not hammer directly on the shaft or bearing races.
• Ensure all circlips, seals and covers are correctly refitted before testing.
• Test the POL05 under no load after reassembly and only return it to normal use 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.
