AXIS Bearings for Power Transmission: Water Pump, Flange, or Single-Row?

Four AXIS heavy duty industrial bearings from $14.96 to $22.78: water pump, commercial grade flange, and single-row ball. Match the right replacement to your application.

Last updated Aug 17, 2026

When you need a bearing for a pump, conveyor, or drive, the first question is usually about mounting style and shaft size: Are you replacing a water pump bearing, bolting a flange unit into a housing, or just swapping in a general-purpose ball bearing? The four AXIS industrial bearings here cover all three scenarios. They range from a compact flange unit at USD 14.96 to a larger commercial-grade flange bearing at USD 22.78, with two mid-range options in between.

Quick take

  • For a water pump replacement, the AXIS 885586SE at USD 19.67 is the dedicated choice.
  • For a compact flange-mounted bearing, the AXIS AF2436 at USD 14.96 is the lowest-priced and smallest of the group.
  • For a larger flange-mounted bearing, the AXIS AF6464 at USD 22.78 expands the bore and flange dimensions.
  • For a general single-row ball bearing with load capacity specs, the AXIS 88503 at USD 19.01 fills that role.

AXIS 885586SE Water Pump Bearing

885586SE Water Pump AXIS Water Pump Bearings Heavy Duty Industrial Replacement

The 885586SE is the only water pump bearing among these four AXIS models. It is made of steel and belongs to the SE Series, and the model name itself specifies water pump bearing use. At USD 19.67, it costs about USD 4.71 more than the AF2436, but less than the AF6464. For a pump replacement job, this is the dedicated option. If your application needs a water pump bearing and the 885586SE fits, you avoid guessing between flange styles and general-purpose ball bearings. The main trade-off is price: the AF2436 is the lowest-cost bearing in this comparison.

AXIS AF2436 Commercial Grade Bearing

AF2436 Commercial Grade AXIS Commercial Grade Bearings Heavy Duty Industrial

The AF2436 is the smallest and lowest-priced bearing in this lineup. Its inside diameter is 0.375 inch, outside diameter is 1.125 inches, and flange diameter is 1.25 inches. It is part of the AF Series and made of steel, with a length through bore of 0.4375 inch. The compact dimensions make it a candidate when you need a flange-mounted bearing in a tight space. The limitation is the bore: at 0.375 inch, it won't accept a larger shaft. If you have a thicker shaft, the AF6464 with a 1-inch bore is the alternative. Otherwise, the AF2436 keeps the price down at USD 14.96.

AXIS AF6464 Commercial Grade Bearing

The AF6464 is the largest flange-bearing option here, with a 1-inch inside diameter, 2-inch outside diameter, and 2.1875-inch flange diameter. It is also part of the AF Series, made of steel, and has a length through bore of 0.5 inch. At USD 22.78, it is the highest-priced unit in this group, but it is the one to choose when your shaft is closer to 1 inch and you need the larger mounting flange. The limitation is sizing: because it is built for a 1-inch bore, it is not suitable for the smaller 0.375-inch shaft that the AF2436 handles. If you need the larger package, the AF6464 is the clear fit.

AXIS 88503 Single-Row Ball Bearing

88503 AXIS Single-Row Ball Bearing Heavy Duty Industrial Replacement

The 88503 is a single-row ball bearing in the 88000 Series, made of steel. It has a 17 mm inside diameter, 40 mm outside diameter, and a length through bore of 0.472 inch. It carries load ratings of 1,940 lb dynamic, 976 lb static, and a grease-limiting speed of 7,200 RPM. At USD 19.01, it is close in price to the 885586SE. This makes it a good general-purpose choice when you need a rolling bearing with load and speed specifications. The limitation is metric sizing: 17 mm and 40 mm don't line up neatly with the inch-based flange bearings, so make sure the conversion works for your setup.

Final recommendation

For a water pump replacement, choose the AXIS 885586SE. For a compact flange mount on a 0.375-inch shaft, go with the AXIS AF2436. For a larger flange mount on a 1-inch shaft, pick the AXIS AF6464. For a general-purpose single-row ball bearing with load ratings, the AXIS 88503 is the right call.
