Does anyone know where I can find a caged roller bearing the following size?
Inside diameter is 1 inch
Outside diameter is 1-1/2 inch
Length is 2 inches

If you have to know.... LOL it is for the cast iron wheel for a cart for a hit and miss engine

Any help will be appreciated.
 
I can't tell where you're located.
In SF,Ca. there is a place called Bearing Agencies. I think that it's on 7th ST.
It's a bearing specialty parts house.

There's a pretty good chance that there's one in a larger city near you.

I have a bearing book, it shows a lot of bearings by size and type.
Just don't have time right now to go thru all this...

PM me if you're interested

Walter, as Karl mentions, check for a independent bearing distributor in your area, there are a few around. Are you looking for a needle roller bearing type or the old New Departure / Hyatt type?

Bearing Distributor Inc. BDI or Applied industrial Technology. Just a couple of bearing supply houses.
 
Perhaps you could make them using drill rod cut to length, the old steel wheel on the carts that came with my building look to be just loose rollers held in place with washers on the ends, with a shaft of 1", and a bore of 1.5" 1/4" drill rod could be cut to length and stuffed in ---I have bought drill rod at Enco before, and many times there is free shipping thopugh you will have to include some other things in your order, then there is MSC,Grainagers, and even possibly Fastenal---it was surprising what they had, at one time I looked into getting Babbitt from them because they wouldn't charge shipping if I waited for it to come on a regular order
 
If it's just a cart bearing, why not two smaller width bearings with a spacer in between?

A quarter of an inch on each side is not a lot of room for bearings. Some of these type bearings are not caged but they are plain needle bearings. Where a caged bearing would be workable is if the center shaft doubles as the inner race with a thin shell outer race or the bearing support forms the outer race. Harley Davidson crank pin bearings are made like this but they aren't that long. This application might be hard to source in this day and age. A person could gang several together with hardened separator rings in between.
