Bearing Housing: Types and Features

indiaskf6

Bearings are an important part of modern machinery and appliances as they support the machinery parts, reduce friction, and ensure seamless movement of adjoining parts. These engineered components are housed in the bearing housing.


Bearing housings are modular assemblies engineered to protect the bearings from contaminants and assist in easy bearing installation. They have an important role in simplifying the maintenance process, improving the service life and optimising the bearing performance.

Numerous bearing designs and sizes are available in the market meet different requirements. The bearing housing price depends on the type of bearing required for your machinery.

Types of Bearing Housing

Split Plummer Block Housing:

The housing body in a split plummer block housing is divided into an upper and lower component that go well together for a typical shaft-bearing combination. This is very crucial to allow easy mounting and maintenance of the bearings. The design of these housings is excellent for accommodating self-aligning ball bearings and spherical roller bearings. This type of housing is preferred for accommodating pre-assembled shafts because it allows easy bearing inspection without the need to disassemble the shaft.

Non-Split Plummer Block Housing

The housing body in non-split block housing is a single-piece. These housings designs accommodate heavy loads acting in different directions, as generally seen in roller beds, crushers, and conveyors. They are also preferred when the housing needs to be mounted from the shaft end.

Flanged Housing

Flanged housings are suitable for applications that do not have horizontal frames. These housings provide reliable accommodation of bearings in machinery where mounting a plummer block housing is challenging. They ensure maximum performance of the incorporated bearing with minimal maintenance requirements.

Take Up Housing

Take-up bearings are designed for drum bearing arrangements in belt conveyor plants. They have high load-accommodating capacities, are engineered to support, and carry heavy loads acting in different directions.

Two-bearing housing

These bearings designs accommodate overhanging loads on machinery. They increase accuracy and allow quieter operations. Such housings are excellent for accommodating deep-grove ball bearings, cylindrical roller bearings, and angular contact ball bearings that fall into the category of rigid bearings.
