How to identify replacement parts for an older grinder

Grinder components can change over time. Before ordering replacement wheels, bearings or tension parts, identify the assembly fitted to your machine.

Send these details

• Grinder model and approximate purchase date, plus the original order number if available.
• A photo of the complete grinder and close-ups of the part from both sides.
• Any visible bearing or component markings.
• Relevant measurements, with units: wheel diameter/width, axle or bore diameter, and mounting-hole spacing where applicable. Measure only with the machine isolated from power and follow its instructions.

Wheels and bearings

Two-bearing and three-bearing wheels can use different spacers and hardware. A bearing sold for one wheel or holder may not fit an older tracking or idler wheel. Do not mix old spacers with a replacement assembly unless its instructions specify them.

Compare Side Play on Two Bearing Style Wheels and Three Bearing Style Wheels. If the photos or hardware do not match your assembly, ask us to identify it before installation.

Gas strut or spring?

Send a photo of the tension mechanism. Do not choose a replacement by appearance or assume every model uses a gas strut. Contact support@diktatorgrinder.com for the correct current part or available next step.
