Bearing replacement advice for PM-25MV mill (spindle and pulley shaft) was created by Ismacr63
I'm about to replace the bearings in my PM-25MV style mill. I've got a 1.8kW AC servo motor on the spindle that runs up to 4500 rpm.
Two questions:
For the bearings on the pulley shaft (the intermediate shaft that drives the spindle belt), should I go with C3 clearance or standard clearance?
What tapered roller bearings would you recommend for the spindle itself?
Any advice from people who've already done this would be great. Thanks!

You only need C3 if the bearing is an interference fit in the housing and on the shaft.
What are the original bearings? If they are C3 it will say on them.

The original bearings are 6209 2RS and 6009 2RS; they don't have "C3" stamped on them, so they are likely CN (standard clearance). They are press-fitted without any additional clamping.
