Description
Overview:
The Drum Shaft Top Bearing for Benford CT 5 and 3.1/2 mixers is a genuine replacement bearing that supports the upper end of the mixer drum shaft to keep rotation smooth and true under load. Made from hardened steel bearing components for strength and wear resistance, it is built to cope with vibration, shock, and dusty site conditions. By reducing friction and play in the shaft, it helps prevent wobble, noise, and premature wear of related parts. Genuine status ensures the correct fit and geometry for the intended housing and shaft. Suitable for Benford, Terex, and Mecalac-built mixers, including the common 3.1/2 mixer type (3.5 cu ft, approx. 99 litres), this bearing helps restore reliable performance and extend service life.
Key Features:
- Genuine Part K72Z for assured compatibility with Benford/Terex/Mecalac mixer assemblies
- Maintains smooth drum rotation and accurate shaft alignment under working loads

- Helps reduce vibration, noise, and wear on the drum shaft and housing
