How this adapter inside the bearing is called? How to find/make a replacement?

Engineering Asked on August 14, 2021

This is an ABEC7 bearing with a 12 mm hole and a 19 mm external diameter:

enter image description here

It has a tightly mounted adapter (the black part), which in turn has a 6mm hole and two external diameters: 12 mm (partially hidden in the bearing, partially visible) and 15.5 mm (fully visible). The adapter is required for a common 5 mm axle of two bearings. The wider parts are on the outside. The narrower parts are fixed into a common wheel.

Unfortunately, the adapter is made of aluminium and I would want one which is made of steel. Thus the questions:

  1. What is the proper technical name of the adapter?
  2. Can it be bought "off the shelf"?
  3. If not, can it be easily ordered from a typical metal workshop?

EDIT: I was asked for a precise drawing and so I attach it. As seen, I need two versions, both with an increased internal diameter. I could adapt, however, an off-the-shelf part into any of these versions with a drill, apart from the 16/18 mm outer diameter, which is better but not necessary.

One Answer

Regarding the name, I don't think that there is an official technical name, but then again I'm not a native speaker (nor can I speculate on the function of this shaft which in some cases might lend it a name).

However, if you go to any workshop with a lathe you should be able to order one of those. The main thing that you need to determine (apart from diameters, lengths and hole sizes) is the interference fit (since its tightly mounted).

You can always take the old part and ask them to replicate it (since I surmise that you might not be adequately technically inclined to calculate and provide the necessary tolerances for the interference fit).
