Finish Thompson A101110 Steel Bearing Assembly
The A101110 is the steel bearing assembly used in Finish Thompson PF and PFS drum pumps. It carries the top of the pump shaft and includes the coupling half that connects to the motor. It is built in steel, which is what decides where it can safely be used.
Treat it as a service item rather than a permanent fitting. A worn top bearing shows up as noise, vibration and a shaft that can be rocked by hand, and left alone it will wear the shaft and the seal below it. When ordering, match the part to the pump as it was actually built rather than to the catalog model alone, since material and size options were specified at the time of purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What causes rapid wear?
Dry running, abrasive solids in the fluid, and misalignment during reassembly are the three usual culprits.
Q: Is there a wear limit to measure?
Check for visible ovality, scoring or a loose fit on the shaft, since any noticeable play at this point shows up as vibration.
Q: Should it be replaced in sets?
If the pump has several bearing points it is worth doing them together, because one fresh bearing carrying a worn neighbor rarely lasts.
Q: Does it need a break in period?
No. It reaches its working clearance almost immediately once the pump is primed and running.
