Split roller bearings help to reduce downtime with new options
Revolvo has expanded its range of split roller bearings with the introduction of flange, hanger and take-up bearing units. Totally split to the shaft, the bearings are designed to simplify and expedite installation, cutting downtime to approximately 10 percent of that required to replace solid bearings of the same size. They also benefit from superior sealing arrangements, which means longer bearing life with greatly reduced levels of maintenance.
The flange, hanger and take-up bearing units are designed for use in the widest range of industries, providing reduced downtime and improved life in applications in quarrying, mining, steel, power generation, cement, water treatment and sugar processing, as well as across mainstream industry. In these applications the bearings offer maximum strength and durability, with housings that are manufactured from the toughest grey cast iron that's practically available: a 250-grade material, to BSEN1561, 1997, which meets all design requirements.
Available in metric shaft sizes from 35mm to 300mm (and 13/16in to 12in imperial), the SRB flange units provide a simple and durable solution where bearings need to be mounted against horizontal or vertical faces. In common with Revolvo's SRB pedestal supports, the flange units are produced with a spherical location to accommodate standard SRB bearing housings, and to provide easy alignment of shaft and equipment.
