Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this bearing compatible with both the Heidelberg SM102 and CD102 press models?

A: Yes. This unidirectional bearing (part number 00.580.5215 / FE458) is designed as a direct replacement for the ink roller assembly on both the Heidelberg SM102 and CD102 offset printing presses. Always verify the OEM part number against your press's service manual before installation.

A qualified press technician familiar with Heidelberg SM102 or CD102 ink roller servicing should be able to install it efficiently. Always follow the manufacturer's service manual and take appropriate safety precautions when working on press machinery.

Q: What is the country of origin for this part?
