1416-0055 - Victor Oxygen-Safe Ball Bearing with Krytox GPL-206

Keep Your Victor Equipment Running Smooth and Safe

When you are out in the shop or on the job site, the last thing you need is your cutting machine seizing up or a regulator knob grinding because of a bad bearing. The Victor 1416-0055 Ball Bearing is the genuine replacement part you need to get your gear back in top shape. But this isn't just any bearing you can pick up at the hardware store. This specific part comes pre-packed with Krytox GPL-206 grease. If you work with oxygen, you know why that matters. Regular grease and oxygen don't mix—in fact, they can be a dangerous combination that leads to fires. This bearing is designed specifically to be safe for use in oxygen service equipment, giving you peace of mind while you work.

This bearing is likely found in Victor's mechanized cutting machines, like track torches, where smooth movement is key to getting a clean, straight cut. If your machine is stuttering, dragging, or making noise, a worn-out bearing is often the culprit. Swapping it out with this genuine Victor part ensures that your machine travels at a consistent speed, which means less grinding and rework on your plate cuts. It’s also used in various high-end gas control assemblies where precision and safety are paramount. Don't try to save a few bucks by jamming a standard bearing in there; the risk isn't worth it, and the performance won't be the same.

Maintenance is part of the job, and doing it right means using the right parts. The 1416-0055 is ready to install right out of the package. You don't need to worry about cleaning it or finding special grease—Victor has already done that for you. It’s built to handle the heat and the grit of a welding shop. Whether you are rebuilding an old track burner or fixing a regulator, this bearing restores that factory-smooth feel. Keep your cuts sharp and your shop safe with genuine Victor replacement parts.

Why the Grease Matters

You might wonder why a little bit of grease is such a big deal. In the welding world, safety is everything. Krytox is the gold standard for oxygen safety. It doesn't burn, it doesn't react with chemicals, and it handles high heat without drying out. By using this bearing, you are ensuring that the internal components of your expensive Victor equipment are protected against wear and tear, while also adhering to strict safety protocols regarding oxygen equipment. It's a small part that plays a big role in your daily operation.
