Tornado EB 30/1 Right Bearing K52501470

The right bearing (part# K52501470) carries the drive end of the roller brush on the Tornado EB 30/1 electric broom. It is the bearing on the same side as the belt and pulley, which means it takes both the rotational load of the brush and the side pull of the belt tension — so it is the harder-worked of the two brush bearings.

This part number replaces the earlier K52501010. If your parts list or an old box shows K52501010, this is the current item to order.

Symptoms of a worn brush bearing

Take the belt off and turn the brush by hand. A good bearing lets it spin freely and quietly; a worn one feels gritty, notchy, or drags to a stop almost immediately. In service the signs are a rumble or squeal that rises with brush speed, a brush that stalls under light load, and belts that keep failing — a dragging bearing destroys belts, which is why a repeat belt failure should always send you to the bearings before the belt is blamed again.

Hair and string wrapped at the brush end is the usual cause. It works its way in against the bearing, holds dirt and moisture there, and finishes it. Clearing the brush ends regularly is the single most effective thing an operator can do to make these bearings last.

On later machines

From serial number 10480 the right bearing is also supplied as part of the complete transmission assembly (part# K44540003). If the take-off is worn as well as the bearing, that combined part is the better repair.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the right bearing do on the Tornado EB 30/1?

It carries the drive end of the roller brush — the same side as the belt and pulley — so it takes the brush load plus the side pull of belt tension. That makes it the harder-worked of the two brush bearings.

Does this replace part# K52501010?

Yes. Part# K52501470 is the current item and replaces the earlier K52501010. If your parts list or an old box shows K52501010, order this one.

How do I know if the right bearing is worn?

Remove the belt and turn the brush by hand. A good bearing spins freely and quietly; a worn one feels gritty or notchy, or drags to a stop. In service, listen for a rumble or squeal rising with brush speed, and treat repeated belt failures as a bearing symptom — a dragging bearing destroys belts.

What models is the right bearing (part# K52501470) compatible with?

The Tornado EB 30/1 Electric Broom, Models 93220 and 93222.
