Clopay 1-1/4" Heavy-Duty Commercial Garage Door Bearing
Heavy-duty bearing package designed to support smooth rotation and proper alignment of a compatible 1-1/4-inch commercial garage door torsion shaft.
The Clopay 5693692 Heavy-Duty Bearing is designed for compatible commercial garage door torsion systems using a 1-1/4-inch shaft. It provides a supported rotating point for the shaft while helping maintain correct alignment between the torsion springs, cable drums, shaft supports, and related hardware.
Heavy-duty bearings are commonly used on larger, heavier, or higher-cycle commercial sectional doors where a standard residential-style bearing may not provide the required support. Proper bearing alignment helps reduce shaft drag, vibration, uneven cable movement, and unnecessary wear on the complete counterbalance system.
Fits 1-1/4" Shafts Designed for compatible commercial torsion systems using a 1-1/4-inch shaft.
Heavy-Duty Support Provides additional durability for demanding commercial and industrial garage door applications.
Maintains Shaft Alignment Helps keep the torsion shaft, cable drums, springs, and support hardware properly positioned.

Heavy-Duty Mounting System: Clopay commercial instructions show heavy-duty bearings fastened to compatible end bearing plates using four bolts. The bolt heads must be positioned toward the cable drum, and the required spacer must be installed in the correct location between the drum and bearing assembly.
Dimensions Notice: The 1-1/4-inch shaft size is confirmed by the Clopay item description. The outside diameter, overall width, flange dimensions, bolt-hole spacing, housing dimensions, load rating, and bearing style were not found in publicly available product information.
Compatibility Notice
Verify the 1-1/4" shaft diameter, bearing outside dimensions, mounting-hole pattern, bearing-plate design, shaft centerline, cable-drum position, required spacer, door weight, spring arrangement, and load requirements before ordering. A bearing with the correct bore may still be incompatible if the mounting pattern or housing dimensions differ.
Safety Warning: Garage door torsion shafts, springs, cable drums, and lifting cables operate under extreme mechanical tension. Removing a bearing or bearing plate while the springs are wound can cause uncontrolled component movement, severe injury, death, or property damage. Spring tension must be completely and safely released before service. Installation by a qualified commercial garage door technician is strongly recommended.
