Eureka Felt Washer

$6.99

Product details

This felt washer, part 49899, is a small felt spacer and light dust seal used in the motor and drive assembly of Eureka and Sanitaire commercial uprights. Felt components like this typically sit against a shaft or bearing shoulder, though exact placement varies by model generation, so check your machine's parts diagram to confirm position before ordering.

Felt compresses and mats down with heat and years of running, and once it has lost its thickness the parts it was spacing no longer sit where they should. That can show up as extra shaft play, a faint rubbing noise from the motor area, or dust working its way into a bearing that used to stay clean.

  • Part: 49899, felt washer
  • Fits: Eureka and Sanitaire 2118B, 2124A, SC877D, SC877E, SC886F, SC886G, SC887D, SC887E, SC888G
  • Function: spaces and seals a shaft or bearing point in the motor or drive assembly against dust intrusion
  • Replace when: disassembling the motor area for another repair, or when shaft play or a new rubbing noise appears

Felt is chosen for this kind of spacer because it holds a small amount of lubricant and gives slightly under pressure, which a rigid plastic or metal washer cannot do. That give is exactly what compresses out of the material over years of running, so a felt washer that has gone hard and thin has lost the property it was installed for even if it has not visibly crumbled.

Felt washers are inexpensive relative to the bearing or motor work they protect, so it is common practice to replace one anytime the assembly is already open for another job.
