Description:
Mounted bearings are mechanical assemblies designed with bearings housed within threaded or bolt-on mounting components that include flanged and pillow blocks. They offer support for the rotating shaft and help reduce friction between stationary machine member and rotating shaft that connect the driven device. The mounted bearings are used mainly in machinery with exposed rotating shafts. In conveyor systems, they are used as take-up devices on the ends and as flanged parts on intermediary sections. They can be designed using rolling elements or with journal configurations. Their design also features bolt-on mounting that helps to make replacement easy and fast. One special advantage of mounted bearings is that they come in diverse designs that make it easy to use them in many industrial applications. Besides, they are easy to install because they stand separate from the driving machine or driving motor. Once installed correctly, mounted bearings are also easy to monitor and maintain. The main types of Mounted bearings include
Hanger Bearings, Mounted Sleeve Bearings, take-up Bearings,
2 Bolt Flange, and
4 Bolt Flange.
