It can take as little as 30 min to replace a split roller bearing and even less time to inspect it; whereas solid bearings routinely take many hours and sometimes days to replace, and are notoriously difficult to inspect while in place.

Yet, overwhelmingly, solid bearings comprise the major segment of rolling bearings in use in the extraction industries today.

Split spherical roller bearings can generally be fitted instead of unsplit spherical roller bearings with adapter sleeves. The precondition for replacement is that the outside diameter, outer ring width, and diameter of the shaft seat is
identical.

Split Bearings mainly using for bearing arrangements which are difficult to access for cranked shafts. With this, we also offer other similar bearings products. Mainly consist of the split cylindrical roller and spilled spherical roller bearing etc. 

No matter what the specific application or industry focus, efficiency is key for ensuring optimized operations in industrial facilities.

But high efficiency means more than just cutting-edge equipment and comprehensive quality assurance; it also means making use of high-quality, reliable components in all machinery and equipment. Doing whatever it takes to keep the machines running.

Simplified installation and maintenance – run-safe bearing design / minimized bearing failure strategy by designing a cage jointing method with no loose parts, housings with no grub screws/side rods to axially locate the fixed bearing outer races.

Solid roller bearings are difficult to fit and to replace, and usually impossible to visually inspect while in service, relying instead on complex and expensive vibration-monitoring systems for critical units.

Companies are increasingly embracing the fact that to achieve performance gains, they must first achieve improved production efficiencies. To achieve these longer-term efficiencies it may be more cost-effective to specify components that initially cost a little more.

The floating or bearing is designed to take radial load only. It is designed to allow for the thermal growth of a shaft during operation. The floating bearing is normally mounted opposite the drive end of a shaft and used in conjunction with a held or fixed bearing when both bearings are mounted on a common shaft section.

The unit, and a fraction of the cost of any unplanned downtime. Should a solid bearing fail on a crucial piece of quarry equipment it may take days to replace, requiring not only the bearing replacement.

But the dismantling of the machine and specialist tools, and sometimes lifting equipment, to remove it, which also creates the possibility for more damage to be caused during the machine disassembly and shaft-handling process.

In the instance of line shafting, where solid flange couplings are used, one held bearing is used, with the rest being floating type.

When shaft sections are coupled together using a flexible coupling type, one held bearing is utilized, with the remainder floating type, per shaft section.

The exact placement of bearing types in extremely long line shaft sections can vary. Always, we invite you to discuss your applications with our technical department.
