Bearing Shield X9019

The Bearing Shield (part# X9019) is a genuine Tacony OEM replacement part from the brush assembly of the Tornado Marathon SE 900 self-contained carpet extractor. It is the shield that protects the brush bearing from fibre, soil and solution entering the assembly.

What the Bearing Shield does

Bearings in a brush assembly almost never fail from load; they fail from contamination. Hair and fibre wrap the shaft and migrate inward, solution carries grit with it, and once either reaches the bearing the countdown starts. The shield is the barrier that keeps that out, which makes a few dollars of plastic the thing standing between routine service and a bearing and axle replacement.

When to replace the Bearing Shield (X9019)

Replace it when it is cracked, worn through, or distorted so it no longer sits close to the shaft, and whenever it is missing. Fibre found wrapped inboard of the shield, or a bearing that has become noisy shortly after a service, both say the shield stopped sealing.

Bearing Shield X9019 — fitment and installation notes

Clear wrapped fibre from the shaft at every service rather than waiting for a symptom, because that is the failure this part exists to prevent. Fit the shield the correct way round and fully seated, and inspect the bearing while you have access instead of closing it back up unchecked. Tacony builds the Tornado Marathon SE 900 and the Powr-Flite Prowler PFX900S on a single machine platform, so this component carries across both brands rather than belonging to either one. It is a shared Tacony component and may fit additional models beyond those listed — call us and we will confirm against your serial number.
