CATBearing & Bushing

5K3496 Bearing — Cat 980

This is a robust bearing designed to support rotating shafts and reduce friction in heavy-duty equipment applications. Manufactured to meet Caterpillar's rigorous quality standards, it offers superior wear resistance compared to a compromised bearing that may present with pitting or spalling. Operators might observe increased noise, vibration, or binding in the affected component if this bearing fails.

Installation & Application Notes

Never strike bearings directly — use a bearing press or driver set. Heat housing (not bearing) to ease installation. Replace bearings in sets where applicable. Check housing bore diameter before fitting — out-of-round bores destroy new bearings.

Always consult the OEM service manual for model-specific torque values and procedures. WhatsApp our technical team if you need fitment guidance.

Failure Symptoms

An initial symptom of bearing failure may be a grinding or humming noise that changes with speed or load. If left unaddressed, this can progress to noticeable vibration and reduced component performance. Continued operation risks damage to the shaft and housing.

Installation Tip

Ensure the bearing bore in the housing is perfectly clean and free from any old lubricant or debris. Press the bearing in squarely to prevent cocking, which can damage both the bearing and the housing.

Service Note

Inspect the shaft for wear or damage, and check the lubrication system for adequate flow and cleanliness.
