Hobart BB-006-1 Ball Bearing Main Drive Shaft

Product Description

The HOBART BB-006-1 is a genuine OEM ball bearing designed for the main drive shaft of Hobart commercial mixers and foodservice equipment. Ball bearings in this position carry radial loads from the drive shaft and allow it to rotate with minimal friction and wear. Keeping this bearing in spec is critical to maintaining consistent mixer output and protecting surrounding drive components. At 0.39 pounds and a compact footprint, this is a direct-fit replacement that restores original equipment performance without modification.

This bearing is used in commercial kitchen environments where Hobart mixers handle continuous, high-load mixing cycles. It seats on the main drive shaft assembly and is subject to repeated stress from torque loads during operation. Replacement is typically required when wear causes audible noise, shaft play, or reduced drive efficiency. Confirmed compatible models include the M802C, V1401U, and M802.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified commercial foodservice equipment technician. Disconnect and lock out power to the mixer before beginning any drive assembly service. Proper bearing seating typically requires a bearing press or appropriate driver tool — do not hammer directly on the bearing race. Follow the equipment manufacturer's service documentation for shaft preload and assembly sequence.
