General information
This is a VERY, very BIG bearing !  Yaesu Rotator Mast Bearings are used to secure rotating mast that is used for directional antennas. These ball bearing designs are also known as thrust bearings, because they maintain smooth and steady rotation even when a large lateral thrust of the wind is pushing on the antenna and the mast. These Yaesu bearings stabilize and secure your antenna mast.
