DeWalt 868768-16 Spare Part - BEARING

868768-16 supersedes older part numbers: 868768-03

Genuine DeWalt sealed ball bearing — part #868768-16 — designed for the fan end of the armature to support the motor shaft and reduce friction in DeWalt plunge routers. This sealed bearing is supplied as a single, direct replacement part and is the same type used to locate and support the armature where it meets the motor housing (fan side).

Physical notes: the unit is a small sealed ball bearing (17x35x10mm), intended for press-fit installation onto the armature or into the motor housing—remove the old bearing with a press or careful puller and fit the new bearing squarely to avoid damage.

Fits (example models): DW614 / D614-04, DW615 (various Type listings), DW613 (BR series), and DW609 plunge routers — also used in a number of ELU/Black & Decker-linked router/sander models that share the same motor assembly. Confirm fit against your tool’s parts diagram or model Type stamp before installing.

Notes and cross-references: this DeWalt part is listed as a replacement for earlier part numbers such as 868768-03 (and appears in manufacturer parts lists sold individually). Use a bearing press or carefully sized driver to seat the new bearing; avoid hammering directly on the bearing race.

If you need this exact bearing to restore smooth motor rotation and eliminate noise or excessive play, this is the original DeWalt replacement specified for the router models above.
