Fluidra - Intermediate Plate with Ball Bearing (Grey) – Vortrax VAX

Fluidra – Intermediate Plate with Ball Bearing (Grey) – Vortrax VAX

This genuine Fluidra intermediate plate with ball bearing (grey) is an OEM structural component within the brush drive assembly of the Vortrax VAX robotic pool cleaner range. It provides precise axial alignment and smooth rotational support for the brush shaft, ensuring efficient, even scrubbing action across pool surfaces. Replacing a worn or damaged plate restores full drive performance and protects surrounding gearbox components.

Compatibility

This part is designed for use with the Fluidra Zodiac Vortrax VAX commercial robotic cleaner platform, including the TRX 7500 iQ, TRX 7700 iQ, and TRX 8500 iQ (EU) models. Always verify your robot’s model number and parts diagram before ordering to ensure a correct fitment.

Why Genuine Matters

As an authentic Fluidra spare part, this intermediate plate is manufactured to the exact tolerances required by the Vortrax drive system. Using a genuine component ensures correct load distribution within the brush support assembly, avoids premature wear to adjacent gears and bearings, and maintains your robot’s warranty compliance. Inferior substitutes risk misalignment and accelerated mechanical failure.

Installation

Replacement of this internal drive component requires partial disassembly of the Vortrax brush support and gearbox area. Technicians should consult the official Fluidra/Zodiac Vortrax service documentation and ensure the robot is fully disconnected from power before beginning work. Professional installation by a qualified pool technician is strongly recommended for this repair.
