York S1-026-13359-000 Bearing Bracket
The York S1-026-13359-000 Bearing Bracket is a critical structural component engineered to provide rigid support and precise alignment for HVAC blower shaft bearings. Also identified by the alternate part number LAU 01443102X, this heavy-duty steel bearing bracket is designed to distribute rotational forces evenly across the bearing surface. By maintaining a secure blower assembly alignment, this OEM York replacement part prevents the premature wear of critical 1-3/16 inch and 1-inch bearings, effectively eliminating the mechanical vibrations that lead to system failure. HVAC technicians rely on this bracket to restore factory-spec stability in packaged units, rooftop systems, and large-scale air handlers.
Constructed from high-strength galvanized steel, the S1-026-13359-000 is built to withstand the substantial radial loads found in Johnson Controls, Coleman, and Luxaire equipment. Integrating this precision-formed bracket during a motor or bearing overhaul ensures a quiet, vibration-free operation and protects the blower wheel from off-center oscillation. This component is essential for maintaining the operational efficiency of central air conditioners and heat pumps, reducing long-term maintenance costs and preventing catastrophic shaft failure.
Key Benefits:- Precision Alignment: Engineered to the exact tolerances required for York blower motor assemblies, ensuring the shaft remains centered for maximum efficiency.
- Heavy-Duty Durability: Structural steel construction provides high-load capacity and resistance to thermal expansion in high-demand HVACR environments.
- Vibration Dampening: Rigidly supports rotating components to minimize harmonic noise and mechanical fatigue on the bearing isolators.
- Direct Cross-Reference: Serves as the official replacement for LAU 01443102X, simplifying parts identification for commercial and residential technicians.
Is this bracket compatible with multi-brand systems?
Yes, as a Source 1 genuine part, it is compatible with various York, Coleman, Luxaire, and Fraser-Johnston blower assemblies that utilize the Lau 01443102X footprint.
What are the signs that a bearing bracket needs replacement?
Excessive grinding or rattling noises near the blower housing often indicate a warped or cracked bracket. Misalignment caused by a failing bearing bracket can lead to uneven belt wear and increased amp draw on the blower motor.
Does this include the bearing itself?
No, the S1-026-13359-000 is the support bracket only. It is recommended to inspect the blower shaft bearings and isolators for wear and replace them simultaneously for optimal performance.
