Split Spherical Roller Bearings help reduce maintenance and downtime.

info@productnews.com (ThomasNet News) — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 08:35:34 -0500

Split spherical roller bearings are useful when several solid spherical roller bearings are being used to support complex drive shaft or where bearing needs replacing but is located in tight space on machine. With 620 mm dia and 210 kg weight, bearings have split design that enables mounting into existing housing without removal of transmission shaft. Inner ring, outer ring, and cage assembly are split, and cylindrical bore provides direct mounting onto shaft.
