Original Bosch plain bearing — part number 1600200031. This small friction bushing (plain bearing) is specified as Ø14 mm and is the factory replacement bearing used on several Bosch GWS-series angle grinders; it supports the spindle and reduces radial play for smooth rotation.

Compatibility: fits many Bosch angle grinders in the GWS 230/GWS 20–24-series — for example GWS 20-230 H, GWS 22-180 H, GWS 22-230 H (including LVI variants) and GWS 24-230 LVI. These exploded-part lists show 1600200031 as the plain bearing used in those tool types.

Why this part: this is an original Bosch replacement designed to the same metallurgy and dimensional tolerances as the factory-installed bearing, so it slips into the housing as a direct-fit component and restores correct spindle clearance and runout. Ideal when you’re repairing a grinder and only need the specific internal bearing rather than replacing larger assemblies.

Specs & packaging: sold as a single genuine Bosch plain bearing (Bosch part no. 1600200031 / 1.600.200.031), nominal diameter Ø14 mm; lightweight and ready to press or slip into place during routine repair. If your grinder is one of the GWS models above, this part is the exact-fit replacement to get it turning true again and is listed among common power tool parts.
