Description
Overview:
The Roller Drum Bearing for Benford MBR71 Vibrating Rollers (MPN 1701-253) is a heavy-duty bearing designed to support the drum and keep it running smoothly under continuous vibration. Built from hardened steel for strength and wear resistance, it reduces friction and helps maintain correct alignment of the drum assembly during compaction work. This bearing is made for vibrating rollers in the Benford/Terex/Mecalac family, including the MBR71 and MBR71 HD, and serves as a like-for-like replacement when the original bearing is worn or noisy. It is suitable for harsh site conditions and frequent start-stop cycles, helping to limit heat build-up and uneven wear. Correctly fitted, it restores efficient drum rotation, improves compaction consistency, and protects surrounding components from premature failure.
Key Features:
- MPN 1701-253 for accurate identification and replacement
- Purpose-made for vibrating roller drum assemblies (e.g. MBR71/MBR71 HD)
- Hardened steel construction for durability in demanding conditions
- Supports radial and axial loads typical of vibratory operation
- Reduces friction to aid smooth rotation and consistent compaction
- Helps limit heat build-up and wear on the drum assembly
- Straightforward, like-for-like fit to replace a worn bearing
- Suitable for routine servicing or full drum rebuilds
- Compatible with Benford/Terex/Mecalac compactors listed
- Aids machine uptime by restoring reliable drum performance
Typical Applications:
Used during maintenance or overhaul of vibrating roller drums on site compactors. Common in road patching, footpath and verge work, landscaping, utilities reinstatement, and hire fleet servicing. Ideal when addressing drum play, noise, or rough running to restore smooth vibration and consistent surface finish.
