Multiquip 047940060 Needle Bearing

The Multiquip Needle Bearing is a genuine OEM component designed for MTX-series rammers including the MTX50HD, MTX60HD, MTX60HF, MTX70HD, MTX70HF, MTX70HDR, MTX80HDR, and MTX-i60. As a factory-sourced part, meets the exact dimensional and load tolerances specified for Multiquip tamper drive assemblies. This bearing is a direct-fit replacement that installs without modification, keeping your rammer operating at full compaction efficiency. Sourced through DHS Equipment, you can trust this is the correct part for your machine.

Key Features

• Precision Radial Load Tolerance — Manufactured to OEM-specified tolerances, this needle bearing handles the high-frequency radial loads generated by MTX rammer drive mechanisms without deflection or premature wear.
• Genuine OEM Part — Sourced directly from Multiquip, part 047940060 matches the original bearing spec exactly — same dimensions, same material grade, same interference fit as the factory-installed component.
• Broad MTX-Series Fitment — Confirmed compatible with MTX50HD, MTX60HD, MTX60HF, MTX70HD, MTX70HF, MTX70HDR, MTX80HDR, and MTX-i60 rammers — covering both GX100 and GX120 Honda engine configurations.
• Sustains Impact-Resistant Drive Performance — A worn or failed needle bearing causes increased vibration, uneven stroke, and accelerated wear on surrounding drive components. A fresh OEM bearing restores consistent ramming action and protects adjacent parts.
• Drop-In Installation — Engineered to the original housing dimensions, this bearing seats correctly in the factory bore with no machining or adaptation needed.

A needle bearing is a compact, high-capacity roller bearing that uses thin cylindrical rollers to carry radial loads across a very small cross-section. In an MTX rammer, this bearing supports the rotating drive shaft or crank components that convert engine power into the up-and-down ramming stroke. Because rammers operate under intense, repetitive impact loads and vibration, the needle bearing is subject to significant stress in service. When it wears or fails, the result is increased mechanical play in the drivetrain, irregular stroke output, and risk of damage to the surrounding housing or shaft — making timely replacement with a correct OEM part essential to keeping the machine compacting effectively.
