FLANGED BEARING Rear Wheel 7/16" X 1 3/8"

FLANGED BEARING Rear Wheel 7/16" X 1 3/8" (4 pack) Buyer's Guide

The FLANGED BEARING Rear Wheel 7/16" X 1 3/8" (4 pack) is a precision replacement bearing set engineered to restore smooth wheel rotation and eliminate friction in manual wheelchair rear wheels. Featuring a 7/16 inch inner diameter bore and 1 3/8 inch outer diameter with integrated flange, this four-bearing pack provides wheelchair users with the exact components needed for complete rear wheel bearing replacement. 

Flanged Bearing for Rear Wheels Compatibility with Standard Wheelchair Axles

The exact 7/16 inch inner diameter ensures these wheelchair bearings mount securely on wheelchair rear axles without excessive play or binding. This common axle size appears across multiple wheelchair manufacturers, making this bearing specification widely compatible with various manual chair models. The precise bore dimension prevents lateral movement during wheel rotation and maintains proper alignment between the wheel hub and frame. 

FLANGED BEARING Rear Wheel 7/16" X 1 3/8" Reliable Performance 

Each rear wheel bearing incorporates protective seals that prevent dirt, moisture, and debris from entering the ball bearing chamber. This sealed design maintains lubrication integrity and prevents contamination that accelerates wear and causes premature failure. 

FLANGED BEARING Rear Wheel Compatible with Invacare and Multiple Brands

The 7/16" X 1 3/8" FLANGED BEARING Rear Wheel fits wheelchair models from Invacare and other manufacturers that utilize 7/16 inch rear axles. This broad compatibility makes these bearings a versatile solution for wheelchair repair professionals and individual users maintaining various manual chair brands. The standardized dimensions ensure proper fitment across different models, simplifying the parts identification and ordering process.

Complete Four-Pack for Both Rear Wheels

This package includes four bearings, providing the exact quantity required to service both rear wheels on a manual wheelchair. Most rear wheel hubs require two bearings per wheel positioned on opposite sides of the hub assembly. Having a matched set of four ensures balanced performance, eliminates the wear discrepancy that occurs when mixing old and new bearings, and provides users with everything needed for a comprehensive rear wheel bearing overhaul.

7/16" X 1 3/8" Flanged Rear Wheel Bearing Reduced Rolling Resistance 

Fresh precision bearings dramatically reduce the rolling resistance that develops as original bearings wear and accumulate internal damage. The smooth ball bearing action and properly maintained clearances in the Rear Wheel 7/16" X 1 3/8" bearing set translate to noticeably easier pushing, reduced energy expenditure during propulsion, and improved coasting distance. Active wheelchair users and those with limited upper body strength particularly appreciate the performance improvement that quality bearings deliver.

Enhanced Stability and Load Distribution

The integrated flange on these bearings provides additional support and helps center the bearing within the wheel hub. This design feature improves lateral stability during wheel rotation and prevents the bearing from shifting under side loads encountered during turns or uneven terrain navigation. The flange also simplifies installation by providing a positive stop that ensures proper bearing depth within the hub assembly.
