Description
Overview:
The Drum Shaft Base Bearing is a genuine Benford/Terex/Mecalac spare for site mixers, designed to support and stabilise the drum shaft at the base of the machine. Built around a robust metal bearing unit with protective sealing, it keeps the shaft running true and reduces friction under load. This improves mixing efficiency and helps prevent premature wear to adjoining parts. It is engineered for Benford CT 5 and 3 1/2 series mixers, delivering a reliable, direct-fit replacement for worn or noisy bearings. Supplied to replace OEM part number R71Z, it maintains correct alignment and smooth rotation in tough, gritty environments typical of concrete and mortar work. A dependable choice for trades, hire fleets, and DIY users maintaining Benford CT mixers.
