02G-2 A500302 Wheel Axle Sleeve Bearing for MX48 Power Feeder OD23mm ID17mm Bottom OD25.6mm H18mm

Replacing the sleeve that carries the feed wheel on an MX48 power feeder? This is it: 02G-2 A500302, a wheel axle sleeve bearing of 24.7 g with a 23 mm outer diameter, a 17 mm bore, an 18 mm height and a 25.6 mm bottom outer diameter that seats it in the wheel hub. One piece of wear-resistant metal, no assembly around it. Match all four figures against the sleeve you take out; price is quoted on request against quantity.

Three things show a feeder sleeve is going: the feed wheel rocks a fraction of a millimetre on its axle, the board creeps under the roller, and the shaft below starts to polish and score. A new wheel answers none of that once the sleeve in the hub is worn.

The 02G-2 A500302 is the wheel axle sleeve bearing for the MX48 power feeder, the sleeve between the wheel axle and the wheel hub. It measures 23 mm outer diameter, 17 mm inner diameter, 18 mm height, with a 25.6 mm bottom outer diameter, at a net weight of 24.7 g per piece.

Material is wear-resistant metal, in one piece, and the function is stated plainly: it supports the wheel axle, reduces friction and keeps the wheel rotating smoothly. With a 17 mm bore in a 23 mm body, the sleeve wall is 3.0 mm; the 25.6 mm bottom face stands 1.3 mm proud of the body all round, and that step is what holds the sleeve steady inside the feeder wheel.

Fit is a four-number question, so measure the part coming out, not the machine: 23, 17, 25.6 and 18 mm all have to match. At 24.7 g a kilogram of stock is about 40 sleeves, which is how a maintenance drawer gets sized. Price is quoted on request against quantity.

What the parts data pins down, in the order a fitter checks it:

• Four numbers, one part — 23 mm OD, 17 mm ID, 25.6 mm bottom OD and 18 mm height; all four belong to the same sleeve.
• 17 mm bore in a 23 mm body — a 3.0 mm wall on each side of the axle, and the first figure a caliper can confirm.
• 25.6 mm bottom face — the flange stands 1.3 mm proud of the 23 mm body all round, which is what positions the sleeve inside the feeder wheel.
• 18 mm of height — sleeve length that carries the load across the hub rather than on one edge of it.
• 24.7 g per piece — the fastest goods-in check, and roughly 40 pieces to the kilogram when the drawer is being filled.
• Wear-resistant metal — the sleeve takes the rubbing so the axle and the hub do not, which is the exact job this part is listed for.
• MX48 wheel axle position — listed for the MX48 power feeder at the wheel axle, not at the gearbox and not at the pressure roller.
• Sleeve bearing, not a wheel — the line item is the sleeve alone, so the feed wheel, the hub and the axle stay on the machine.

When a feed wheel starts to wander, the two usual answers are a new wheel or a new shaft. A 24.7 g sleeve is the third.

• Stop the wobble before it reaches the shaft. The sleeve runs against the axle and is designed to reduce wear on the shaft and hub, so the 24.7 g part comes off first.
• Change the sleeve, keep the assembly. 02G-2 A500302 is one sleeve; the feed wheel, hub and axle stay where they are.
• Four numbers settle the fit. 23 mm OD, 17 mm ID, 25.6 mm bottom OD and 18 mm height can be measured on the worn part before ordering.
• Cheap to hold in stock. At 24.7 g a kilogram is about 40 sleeves, so a season of spares takes little shelf space.
• Goods-in check in a minute. A scale reads 24.7 g and calipers read four figures; that is the whole acceptance test.
• One wear path, one part. The rubbing surface is replaceable on its own, so a worn hub seat does not drag the gearbox side into the job.
• Nothing else in the box. The sleeve is the item, so there is no bearing unit to buy alongside it and no second number to chase.
• Price follows the quantity. One sleeve and a box of them are quoted separately on request, so the figure matches what the workshop uses.

Only if the four dimensions match the part you are taking out. 02G-2 A500302 is listed for the MX48 power feeder at the wheel axle and measures 23 mm OD, 17 mm ID, 25.6 mm bottom OD and 18 mm height. Measure the old sleeve first; a 17 mm bore on its own does not identify it.

Yes. Both numbers sit on one part line, 02G-2 / A500302, so either one orders this sleeve. There is no second item behind the two numbers: one 24.7 g wheel axle sleeve bearing.

23 mm outer diameter, 17 mm inner diameter, 25.6 mm bottom outer diameter and 18 mm height. That gives a 3.0 mm sleeve wall, with the bottom face standing 1.3 mm proud of the body all round.

A plain sleeve. It is listed as a wheel axle sleeve bearing — one piece of wear-resistant metal with a 17 mm bore that runs directly on the wheel axle, with no separate race or rolling element listed for the item.

Wear-resistant metal, 24.7 g per piece. The weight is the quickest delivery check, and at 24.7 g a kilogram is about 40 pieces.

Because 25.6 mm is the figure that separates this sleeve from other sleeves with a 17 mm bore. The body is 23 mm; the bottom face opens to 25.6 mm, a 1.3 mm step on each side, and that step positions the sleeve inside the feeder wheel.

No. The item on the line is the sleeve by itself, 02G-2 A500302, so the axle, the feed wheel and the hub stay in place and only the 24.7 g sleeve is renewed.

Send the part number with the quantity. Price is quoted on request against that quantity instead of being fixed on the page, so quote 02G-2 or A500302 together with 23 / 17 / 25.6 / 18 mm and the sleeve that comes back is the one for your feeder.
