Bearings Slash Installation Downtime

Bearings Slash Installation Downtime Revolvo has released flange, hanger and take-up split roller bearings. Totally split to the shaft, the bearings are designed to simplify and speed installation, cutting downtime to approximately 10% 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 quarrying, mining, steel, power generation, cement, water treatment and sugar processing applications.In these applications the bearings offer maximum strength and durability. Available in shaft sizes from 35 to 300mm, 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. SRB hanger units provide the optimum solution for the support of screw conveyor shafts.The unit comprises of a cast iron split housing into which standard SRB bearings are fitted.The provision of a drilled and tapped boss in one half of the housing allows for the unit to be mounted from the conveyor cross bracing, or any other suitable surface. In addition, to protect against the arduous conditions often encountered in screw conveyor applications, the hanger units are protected by a double sealing arrangement, with many different sealing variants available, all of which can be tailored to suit specific applications.The hanger units are available in shaft sizes from 35 to 115mm. SRB take-up units provide an efficient and readily accessible means of tensioning conveyors, elevators and large scale drive systems in materials handling applications. Available in both push and pull types, both of which are available with SRB's extensive sealing solutions, the take-up units are designed for use on shaft sizes from 45 to 160mm.
