Standard bearings in the specified size range can be sourced from bearing suppliers, though complete gimbal yokes are difficult to find as individual spare parts
Options for obtaining replacement gimbal components include purchasing a used steadicam rig to harvest parts from, contacting the original manufacturer for warranty replacement if the defect is their responsibility, or engaging a local machine shop to fabricate a replacement yoke
Bearing size reference 69052 with specified dimensions can help identify compatible replacement bearings

The discussion involves a generic S40 model rather than an officially-branded steadicam, which may limit manufacturer support
No confirmation that the suggested manufacturer contact was successful or appropriate for all S40 variants
The machine shop fabrication option is mentioned but not detailed regarding cost or feasibility
