Clopay EZ-Set End Bearing Support with Steel Bearing
Genuine OEM torsion-tube support for the non-winding side of compatible single-spring Clopay and Ideal Door EZ-Set systems.
The Clopay 0121342 EZ-Set End Bearing Support installs at the end of a compatible EZ-Set torsion assembly where no spring winding unit is present. It supports and centers the torsion tube while allowing it to rotate smoothly as the garage door opens and closes.
The integrated steel bearing helps reduce friction, maintain proper tube alignment, and limit unnecessary wear on the surrounding EZ-Set components. This part is typically required on a single-spring installation that uses one winding unit on the opposite side of the door.
Supports the Torsion Tube Holds and centers the EZ-Set torsion tube at the end of the assembly without a winding unit.
Steel Bearing Provides a smooth rotating surface that helps reduce friction and wear during door operation.
Genuine EZ-Set Component Designed specifically for compatible Clopay and Ideal Door EZ-Set torsion spring systems.

What the End Bearing Support Does
- The support mounts at the end of the EZ-Set torsion assembly.
- The torsion tube passes through the steel bearing.
- The bearing supports the tube and keeps it properly centered.
- As the door moves, the tube rotates inside the bearing with reduced friction.
- The opposite end of the assembly is supported by the compatible EZ-Set winding unit.
Required Only on Certain EZ-Set Systems: Part 0121342 is normally used on a door with one EZ-Set winding unit. It supports the opposite end of the torsion tube where no second spring and winding unit are installed.
Not Left- or Right-Hand Specific: The support is installed on whichever side of the EZ-Set assembly does not have a winding unit. The correct mounting side depends on the spring arrangement and the original Clopay installation instructions.
EZ-Set Systems Only: This bearing support is designed for the Clopay and Ideal Door EZ-Set torsion-tube system. It is not a replacement for a conventional torsion spring end bearing plate, center bearing plate, commercial bearing bracket, extension spring pulley, or Wayne Dalton TorqueMaster support.
Benefits of Replacing a Worn Support
-
Improved Alignment: Helps keep the EZ-Set torsion tube centered at the end of the assembly.
-
Smoother Rotation: The steel bearing provides a low-friction surface for the rotating tube.
-
Reduced Noise: Replacing a worn or seized bearing may reduce scraping, squeaking, or grinding.
-
Less Hardware Wear: Proper support helps limit stress on drums, retainers, winding components, and the torsion tube.
-
Restored System Support: Replaces a bearing that has loosened, shifted, cracked, or come out of its support.
Inspect the Complete Assembly: If the bearing repeatedly moves out of position, inspect the torsion tube, end bracket, shaft retainer, cable drums, winding unit, fasteners, and door alignment. Replacing the bearing support alone may not correct an underlying installation or alignment problem.
Additional Parts Not Included: EZ-Set torsion spring, torsion tube, winding unit, cable drums, lifting cables, end bracket, shaft retainer, mounting fasteners, and other spring-system components are sold separately unless specifically stated.
Compatibility Notice
Verify the original part number, EZ-Set spring system, torsion-tube style, tube diameter, single- or dual-winding-unit arrangement, end-bracket configuration, shaft-retainer design, mounting location, and existing bearing profile before ordering. Matching only the Clopay brand does not confirm compatibility.
Extreme-Tension Safety Warning: EZ-Set torsion springs, winding units, lifting cables, and cable drums store substantial mechanical energy. Never remove the end support, torsion tube, winding unit, or related hardware while the spring remains tensioned. Close and secure the door, disconnect the opener, and completely release spring tension according to the current Clopay EZ-Set instructions. Professional installation is strongly recommended.
