Rear & Fork Wheelchair Bearings (R8-2RS) – ABEC-5 ½″ × 1 ⅛″ × 0.3125″ (4-Pack)

Rear & Fork Wheelchair Bearings – R8 (1/2") ABEC-5   ½″ × 1 ⅛″ × 0.3125″ (4-Pack)

High-performance R8 (1/2") ABEC-5 bearings made specifically for wheelchairs.
Replacing your wheelchair’s bearings helps restore smooth rolling, protect your body from strain, and extend the life of your equipment. These precision bearings are engineered for durability, smoothness, and strength under high load - ideal for rear wheel hubs and some fork assemblies using 1/2" axles.

Important: Check your axle size before ordering. These R8 bearings fit 1/2" imperial axles. If your chair uses 12mm metric axles, please select the 6001 bearings instead.

Why Service Your Bearings

Bearings gradually wear over time as dirt and moisture enter the seals. Installing new bearings is an easy at-home upgrade that makes your chair roll faster, smoother, and farther.
