Vacuum-Pump Friends!
Would love to get verified Part#s on these bearings, and a known-good source for them. Have you guys acquired these bearings on-line? SKF site part listings, for example, show at least 6 626 bearing variants, with no clarity as to number of balls in race. Have we agreed that an 8-ball bearing - vs. 6 - shouldn't matter, as long as quality is high? Or is there some compelling argument - better lubrication? better heat dissipation? - for using the 6-ball variety? In terms of Physics, I'd be hard-pressed to believe that an 8-ball variety should be any worse in heat dissipation; ie, even more surface area for convection, with plenty of good oil circulation, etc. If it's a really critical application, please advise! Or are we beating this poor dead horse even deader?!

My vacuum pump installed by the previous owner has philips head screws on the cover. Can anybody ID the brand based on that? I can't see any markings on it. I'll probably convert to electric ASAP.
Another one bit the dust on benz world. http://www.benzworld.org/forums/w124-e-ce-d-td-class/1715147-i-feel-truly-sick-how-bad.html

Why are the 6 ball bearings so hard to find? Why did our pumps use 6 balls and not 8 balls? I wouldn't take a chance using 8 balls unless you've done your homework. I do believe the theory of what kills vacuum pumps is dirt from vacuum leaks of long duration and not age or number of miles (unless it exceeds design life of the pump, whatever that may be). Makes a lot of sense.

Any exact part numbers, and a known on-line source?
My car is now 400k+ miles; even though vacuum system has been well-cared for, thinkin' about doing this as preemptive maintenance.

You have to decide which manufacturer you are happy with and order the correct size and try to be happy with your choice - I mean Hitler had to make do with one ball - 'cos the other's in the Albert Hall (apparently). For the record I've just fitted SKF 626-2Z bearings with a gucci metal shield that I hope won't end up in the timing chain! (I have a sneaky feeling I have seven more balls that Adolf)

I've attempted to answer some the questions raised in this thread here =>
More than you are likely to ever want to know about OM61X piston vacuum pumps There's quite a bit of information so I started a new one

Skf bearings
Going off the wrapper of the skf bearings I used... Working so far. Seem like nice little bearings. 8 ball with steel cage.

Found this PDF file on the Pierburg Pumps, about damage due to wear on the Cam Disk.

On a slighly different note, there have been some vacuum-pump threads here that included mention of possible alternative vacuum pumps. Last week, while foraging in the Virginia Beach Pick-N-Pull, I happened to wander over to the GM section. I spotted a belt-driven vacuum pump in an '81 Oldsmobile 98 Regency. The pump was mounted on a 5.0L Oldsmobile gas V8. No idea if these pumps are common or still availible, but I thought I'd mention it if anyone is looking for an alternative-pump research candidate. Happy Motoring, Mark
