The Fix For Small Bearings.


Big Bearings provide smoother motion and finer incremental control than small factory bearings, while providing better balance without gimmicky springs or clamps. These drop-in replacements in many cases just screw into your existing mount. E-mail us a photo of your existing bearings, we'll ask a few dimensions to design specificaly to your requirement.
Big Bearings options.


Standard Bearings for Tubes, Mirror Boxes or EQ Tube Rings.
Add bearings to your existing rings for Dob mounting.
 Standard bearings are up to 12" diameter. Inside facing braces are cut custom to fit your tube's outside diameter. Lock to your tube using a 3/8" bolt through the center hole which clamps the curved braces to the tube.

Equatorially mounted Newtonians or SCTs can use their existing rings attach bearings for Dobsonian mounting. Available with or without supports (see supports below). Kits arrive rough sanded and assembled with bearing laminate. Finished arrive ready to use.
