FLANGED BEARING Rear Wheel

5/8" X 1 3/8" FLANGED BEARING Rear Wheel (4 pack) Buyer's Guide

The 5/8" X 1 3/8" FLANGED BEARING Rear Wheel (4 pack) is a precision-engineered replacement bearing set designed to restore smooth, efficient wheel rotation for manual wheelchairs. Featuring sealed ball bearings with exact 5/8 inch inner diameter and 1 3/8 inch outer diameter specifications, this four-pack provides wheelchair users with the quality components needed for optimal mobility performance. 

5/8" X 1 3/8" FLANGED BEARING Rear Wheel Secure Axle Fit

The exact 5/8 inch inner diameter bore ensures these wheelchair bearings fit properly on standard wheelchair rear axles without play or looseness. This precise sizing creates a secure connection between the bearing and axle, preventing lateral movement that could cause premature wear or handling issues. Wheelchair users benefit from stable, predictable wheel behavior during propulsion, turns, and transfers when bearings maintain proper fitment.

Compatibility with Standard Hubs

The 1 3/8 inch outer diameter specification corresponds with common wheelchair rear wheel hub dimensions, ensuring drop-in compatibility with many manual chair models. This standard sizing means users can confidently replace worn rear wheel bearings without custom machining or hub modifications. The flanged design provides additional stability and helps distribute load forces across the bearing surface for improved durability.

5/8" X 1 3/8" FLANGED BEARING Rear Wheel  Reliable Performance 

Each bearing features dual seals that protect the internal ball bearings and raceway from dirt, moisture, and debris. This sealed construction extends bearing life by preventing contaminants from entering the bearing chamber and causing accelerated wear. Active wheelchair users who navigate outdoor terrain, wet conditions, or dusty environments particularly benefit from this protective design that maintains smooth performance between maintenance intervals.

FLANGED BEARING Rear Wheel Compatible with Multiple Wheelchair Brands

The 5/8" X 1 3/8" FLANGED BEARING Rear Wheel fits wheelchair models from Invacare including the 1000 series, Theradyne chairs, and PCR wheelchair models. This broad compatibility makes these bearings a versatile replacement option for wheelchair repair shops and individual users maintaining various manual chair brands. The reference number 58138 helps ensure proper part identification when ordering replacements.

Four-Pack Provides Complete Rear Wheel Set

This package includes four bearings, which is the exact quantity needed to replace both rear wheels on a manual wheelchair. Most rear wheel assemblies use two bearings per wheel, positioned on either side of the hub. Having a complete set ensures balanced performance across both wheels and eliminates the need for multiple orders when performing full rear wheel bearing replacement.

Flanged Bearing for Rear Wheelchair Wheels Low-Friction Design 

The precision-ground ball bearings and polished raceways deliver exceptionally low rolling resistance compared to worn or inferior bearings. This reduced friction translates to easier pushing, less energy expenditure during propulsion, and improved coasting distance. Wheelchair athletes and high-activity users notice tangible performance improvements when upgrading to fresh, high-quality bearings like these.

Smooth Ride 

Worn bearings often produce noticeable vibration, grinding sounds, or clicking noises during wheel rotation. Installing new bearings from the 5/8" X 1 3/8" FLANGED BEARING Rear Wheel eliminates these symptoms and restores quiet, smooth operation. The reduction in vibration also improves ride comfort and can help prevent fatigue during extended wheelchair use or long-distance travel.

5/8" X 1 3/8" FLANGED BEARING Rear Wheel (4 pack) Review

Users of the 5/8" X 1 3/8" FLANGED BEARING Rear Wheel (4 pack) consistently report dramatic improvements in wheel performance and propulsion ease after installation. Wheelchair users appreciate how these precision bearings eliminate the roughness and resistance that develops as original bearings wear out. The sealed construction, accurate dimensions, and complete four-pack format make this bearing set a practical, cost-effective solution for maintaining manual wheelchair mobility and extending equipment service life.
