● Split to the shaft construction – ease of installation and maintenance.

● Self-Aligning – the bearing cartridge and housing externally handle up to 3° of misalignment.

● Manufactured of through hardened bearing steel (rollers, inner and outer races).

● Ductile iron standard – Cartridges, pedestal, and flange housings machined from high strength 65-45-12 ductile iron, steel available upon request.

● Powder coated finish for all castings – cartridge, housing, and flanges.

● Drain plugs – on cartridges to allow purging of grease.

● Socket head hardware – SAE standard, grade 8.

● Aluminum triple labyrinth seals – Featuring dovetail groove design to fully retain the O-ring material, allowing the seal to rotate with shaft to avoid shaft wear.

● Economic advantage – Higher quality and longer life.

● Three progressively heavier duty groups – V1, V2, and V3 series to best suit load, life, and speed requirements.

● Cylindrical Bore Bearings - “Straight from the shelf” standard shafting can be used, greatly reducing costs in machine design, build, and maintenance.  

● Custom Work – special application bearings, housings, and cartridges available upon request.

● Full factory support.

Cost savings

Due in particular to the reduced downtime, the fitting of split spherical roller bearings gives a significant reduction in fitting costs, as shown in the diagram. In new designs too, split spherical roller bearings can give cost savings in many cases since the plant can be simplified and the assembly work required is reduced.
