Bearing Housings: Essential Components for Industrial and Automotive Applications

Bearing housings are vital components that provide essential support and protection for bearings, ensuring their stability and efficient function in mechanical systems. When paired with the right bearings, they form comprehensive, cost-effective, and low-maintenance assemblies. Our diverse selection of bearing housings is designed to meet the needs of various bearing types and operating conditions, ensuring reliable performance across multiple industrial and automotive sectors.

Construction of Bearing Housings

Bearing housings are made up of two primary components:

  • Insert: This component precisely positions the bearing within the housing, ensuring accurate alignment and function.
  • Housing: The main body that holds the bearing in place, eliminating misalignment and protecting against contaminants. Made from high-quality materials such as steel, cast iron, or plastics, these housings provide durability and superior performance.

Types of Bearing Housings

  1. Split Housings: Ideal for ball, spherical roller, and tapered roller bearings, whether single or double-row. They offer easy installation and maintenance, making them perfect for applications requiring quick service and accessibility.

  2. Solid Housings: Suitable for high-load applications or when mounted at the end of the shaft. Their robust design provides stability and resistance in challenging operational environments.

  3. Flanged Housings: Designed for various bearing types, these housings feature a flange perpendicular to the shaft axis. Available in various shapes such as oval, round, square, and triangular, they offer flexibility in machine layouts and configurations.

  4. Take-Up Housings: Specifically for tapered roller bearings with a tapered or cylindrical bore. They are capable of handling substantial loads from multiple directions, making them essential for demanding industrial applications.

Bearing Units

We also offer bearing units that combine a bearing and housing with additional components like grease fittings, cages, and seals. Available in various configurations—including deep groove ball bearings, spherical roller bearings, self-aligning bearings, and tapered roller bearings—these units are suited for specific needs and environments, including food processing, chemical, agricultural, construction, and textile industries.

Components of a Bearing Unit

  • Bearing Housing: Available in different types and shapes, usually made from cast steel or cast iron, and equipped with various seals.
  • Grease Fitting: Facilitates easy lubrication of the bearing, enhancing its longevity and performance.
  • Bearing: Offered in multiple types, tailored to specific application requirements.
  • Seal or Shield: Provides additional protection against contaminants and environmental factors, ensuring the bearing’s optimal function.

Our range of bearing housings delivers reliable solutions for demanding applications where durability, precision, and ease of maintenance are crucial. Their versatility and adaptability make them foundational elements of dependable mechanical systems across many industries.
