0501000072 / 0501 0000 72 BEARING ATLAS COPCO

When a drilling rig or feed beam has to pivot smoothly under heavy load, the bearing you choose becomes the difference between controlled movement and accelerated wear. The 0501 0000 72 BEARING ATLAS COPCO (also searched as 0501000072) is built for high-load articulation points where shock, vibration, and abrasive dust are part of daily operation. This component supports accurate alignment, stable motion, and repeatable positioning in demanding rock drilling work, especially where a joint must move freely while staying tight under load.

As 3GEN Export, we supply 0501 0000 72 BEARING ATLAS COPCO as an OEM supplier option produced to OEM-spec tolerances. We deliver worldwide in 5 working days, helping service teams cut downtime without sacrificing fit or durability.

What the 0501 0000 72 BEARING ATLAS COPCO does

In practical terms, the 0501 0000 72 BEARING ATLAS COPCO is used in heavy-duty joint locations that need smooth rotation plus controlled self-alignment when structures flex. In many rock-drilling assemblies, the bearing location must carry strong radial loads while tolerating angular movement and small misalignment.

Because this part number works in harsh environments, design priorities typically include:

• High load capacity under impact and reversing forces

• Stable running surfaces that resist scoring and indentation

• Dependable lubrication retention (where grease is used)

• Consistent geometry that keeps clearance under control

If you’re replacing a worn pivot bearing to restore accuracy and reduce vibration, 0501 0000 72 BEARING ATLAS COPCO is the component that helps bring the joint back to predictable movement.

Where this bearing is typically installed

Parts listings that include this part number associate it with underground drilling equipment and feed/boom assemblies, such as Epiroc/Atlas Copco Boomer 282 (aluminum feed beam parts context) and Simba H1354 (spare parts context).

In these systems, the 0501 0000 72 BEARING ATLAS COPCO may appear at points such as:

• Feed beam articulation and support joints

• Boom linkages where controlled angular motion is required

• Pivot interfaces that must tolerate slight misalignment

• Mount points where dust and vibration quickly destroy low-grade bushings

Even when the bearing looks simple, it often sits in a position where joint accuracy influences drilling performance and wear across the entire structure.

Why the right bearing matters in rock drilling

Rock drilling loads aren’t “steady.” They are pulsed, irregular, and sometimes severe. If a joint bearing is underspecified or poorly finished, you may see:

• Increased play at the pivot, reducing drilling accuracy

• Faster wear on pins, housings, and adjacent bushings

• Heat generation from poor fit or rough surfaces

• Noise and vibration that spreads through the boom/feed structure

Choosing the correct 0501 0000 72 BEARING ATLAS COPCO helps protect the entire assembly. The cost of a bearing is small compared to the chain reaction of damage that can follow a loose pivot.

Key benefits of 0501 0000 72 BEARING ATLAS COPCO

Consistent alignment under load

The geometry of 0501 0000 72 BEARING ATLAS COPCO helps maintain alignment at a pivot so the structure moves as intended. That supports smoother feed control and reduces joint “hunting.”

Better control of clearance

Correct tolerance matters. When 0501 0000 72 BEARING ATLAS COPCO is made with stable dimensional control, you get predictable clearance, enough for motion and lubrication, without excessive knock or drift.

Surface durability for abrasive environments

Mining and tunneling dust acts like a grinding compound. A properly specified 0501 0000 72 BEARING ATLAS COPCO uses heavy-duty materials and treated running surfaces (application-dependent) to resist scoring and micro-pitting.

Serviceable in the field

Where the system uses grease, 0501 0000 72 BEARING ATLAS COPCO supports practical maintenance routines. A consistent lubrication schedule can extend service life significantly in high-vibration cycles.

Technical overview

Below is a practical specification outline for 0501 0000 72 BEARING ATLAS COPCO. Exact dimensions can vary by machine configuration and revision, so cross-check your parts book and measure the housing/pin before ordering.

Typical characteristics (application-dependent)

• Bearing type: heavy-duty plain / spherical plain style for articulation points

• Primary load direction: radial, with limited axial load depending on installation

• Misalignment tolerance: supports angular movement in joint applications

• Materials: alloy steel rings or equivalent heavy-duty bearing-grade steel

• Surface treatment: heat treatment / hardening; protective finish as required

• Lubrication: grease-lubricated or maintenance-reduced design depending on system

Estimated weight

• Approximate net part weight (bearing only): 0.35–0.60 kg (varies by design and batch)

• Shipping weight (with packing): typically +0.10–0.25 kg

If you need an exact declared weight for freight planning, 3GEN Export can confirm weight from the packed shipment record for your order.

Material and manufacturing notes

A bearing used in drilling equipment is not the same as a light-duty industrial ring. A reliable 0501 0000 72 BEARING ATLAS COPCO should be produced with attention to:

• Roundness and concentricity for smooth articulation

• Controlled hardness so surfaces resist indentation

• Clean internal finishing to protect the lubricant film

• Dimensional stability so press fits and clearances remain correct

When these details are right, the bearing lasts longer and helps protect the mating pin and housing from accelerated wear.

Compatibility: ATLAS COPCO / Epiroc machines using this part number

Parts listings that include 0501 0000 72 BEARING ATLAS COPCO show usage associated with:

• Epiroc / Atlas Copco Boomer 282 (aluminum feed beam parts context)

• Epiroc / Atlas Copco Simba H1354 (spare parts context)

Because configurations vary by serial range and retrofit kits, use the list above as a solid starting point, then verify by:

• Machine model + serial number

• Assembly location (feed beam / boom / linkage position)

• Existing part marking and measured dimensions

If you send your serial number or a screenshot from your parts book, 3GEN Export can help confirm whether your unit uses 0501 0000 72 BEARING ATLAS COPCO in that joint position.

Signs you need to replace the 0501 0000 72 BEARING ATLAS COPCO

Replace proactively if you notice:

• Visible looseness at the pivot or a “clunk” when direction changes

• Oval wear on pins or housing surfaces

• Abnormal vibration through the boom/feed

• Inconsistent drilling angle or feed alignment drift

• Grease contamination (metallic paste) or damage around the sealing zone

Waiting too long can cause the joint bore to wear, turning a quick bearing job into a housing repair.

Installation guidance (field-friendly)

Always follow your machine manual and safety procedure, but the workflow below matches how many maintenance teams approach this job.

1) Prepare the joint

• Secure the boom/feed so it cannot drop or swing

• Clean thoroughly to prevent grit entering the bore

• Mark the orientation of washers, spacers, and shims

2) Remove the old bearing

• Extract pins carefully to avoid scoring the bore

• Use the correct puller/press tool if the bearing is interference-fit

• Inspect the housing bore for fretting, cracks, or ovalization

3) Inspect mating parts

• Measure pin diameter and check for taper or out-of-round

• Inspect for indentation marks or heat discoloration

• Replace pins and seals if wear is evident, new 0501 0000 72 BEARING ATLAS COPCO won’t last against a damaged pin

4) Install the new bearing

• Press in squarely; do not strike bearing surfaces

• Apply recommended grease if the design requires it

• Verify smooth articulation through full travel without binding

5) Final checks

• Torque fasteners to specification

• Recheck for play after the first operating shift

• Set a grease interval based on duty cycle and dust level

Correct installation plays a major role in the service life of 0501 0000 72 BEARING ATLAS COPCO.

Maintenance tips to extend life

• Grease little-and-often rather than over-greasing occasionally

• Wipe fittings clean before greasing to avoid injecting grit

• Monitor joint temperature after heavy drilling cycles

• Track movement trend, small increases in play can predict failure

If your machine works in wet abrasive slurry, increase inspection frequency; contamination accelerates wear even on high-grade bearings.

Understanding the bearing style and why it is chosen

On drilling equipment, a “bearing” at a pivot is often not a rolling ball bearing. Instead, it may be a plain bearing or spherical plain bearing that supports high loads while allowing angular movement. That’s why technicians frequently find the 0501 0000 72 BEARING ATLAS COPCO looks like a robust ring set rather than a cage-and-ball assembly.

Plain vs. rolling bearings in boom/feed joints

Rolling bearings fit high-speed rotation, but they can be sensitive to shock loading and contamination if sealing is compromised. Pivot joints rotate slowly, but they see repeated impact forces. In those conditions, a heavy-duty plain style like 0501 0000 72 BEARING ATLAS COPCO is often the better durability choice.

Self-alignment in the field

Boom and feed assemblies flex. Mounting faces are not always perfectly parallel after years of use. A bearing design that tolerates misalignment helps prevent edge loading. Many joint locations use 0501 0000 72 BEARING ATLAS COPCOspecifically to absorb day-to-day conditions and keep the joint from binding.

If your application involves a pivot that must move freely across its range without becoming tight at end travel, replacing with the correct 0501 0000 72 BEARING ATLAS COPCO is essential.

How to identify the correct part before ordering

Most bearing replacement problems happen when a “close” size is ordered instead of the exact part. Use this checklist when confirming the part.

Check the part marking and format

• Marking may appear as 0501000072 or as 0501 0000 72

• Some catalogs reference the assembly position rather than the bearing itself

• Match the part number to your machine’s serial range where possible

If your old component has worn markings, provide clear photos and measurements to 3GEN Export and we will help confirm the correct 0501 0000 72 BEARING ATLAS COPCO.

Measure the three key dimensions

For most joint bearings, these checks are practical:

• Inner diameter (ID): matches the pin

• Outer diameter (OD): matches the housing bore

• Width (W): controls side play and spacer stack height

Measure with a calibrated caliper or micrometer. If the housing bore is oval, the correct 0501 0000 72 BEARING ATLAS COPCO may still install, but the bore may need rework to prevent short service life.

Verify the housing condition

Before installing a new bearing, inspect:

• Bore roundness and surface finish

• Signs of fretting (reddish-brown powder)

• Cracks or deformation near the joint ears

• Retaining features (snap ring groove, shoulders, stop plates)

If you need guidance, 3GEN Export can recommend practical repair options while supplying 0501 0000 72 BEARING ATLAS COPCO in the same shipment.

A practical quality checklist for field teams

When your delivery arrives, a fast inspection helps avoid installing a damaged part.

Visual checks

• No chips, dents, or shipping marks on the running surfaces

• Even coating/finish with no deep scratches

• Clean, debris-free packaging

Fit checks (dry run)

Without forcing the part, confirm that:

• ID corresponds to the pin size you removed

• OD matches the bore dimension and expected press fit

• Width matches the spacer/washer stack

A correct 0501 0000 72 BEARING ATLAS COPCO should feel right in the assembly, no need for improvised grinding or uncontrolled shimming.

Common failure modes and what they indicate

1) Dry wear and polishing

If surfaces look shiny and smeared, lubrication was inadequate or contaminated. Improve grease intervals and check seals after installing 0501 0000 72 BEARING ATLAS COPCO.

2) Scoring and grooves

Deep grooves usually mean abrasive dust entered the joint. Inspect sealing, grease fittings, and protective covers. In extreme dust, shorten inspection cycles.

3) Cracked ring or broken edge

Cracks can come from improper installation, misalignment, or overload. Use a press tool, verify alignment, and confirm you are using the correct 0501 0000 72 BEARING ATLAS COPCO for the machine configuration.

4) Oval wear on the pin

This points to excessive clearance or operation with looseness. Replace pin and bearing together where necessary; a new bearing alone can’t compensate for a damaged pin.

Storage and handling

If you stock spares, treat 0501 0000 72 BEARING ATLAS COPCO as a precision component.

• Store in a dry area away from chemical fumes

• Keep in sealed packaging until installation

• Avoid direct handling of the running surfaces

• Do not stack heavy parts on top of the bearing box

Proper storage protects surface finish and prevents corrosion, so your spare is ready when downtime strikes.

Related components often replaced at the same time

To restore the whole joint, many teams replace a small set:

• Pivot pin / shaft

• Seals, wipers, or protective boots

• Spacers, washers, and retaining rings

• Grease fittings (if damaged or clogged)
