Split personality

In Split roller bearings — where all the main components are engineered and made in halves — the inner race, roller and cage assembly, outer race, housing or flange support structure and seals, are all manufactured as separable components.

As with their solid counterparts, they are manufactured in progressively heavier duty ratings to best suit the loads, speeds, and life requirements of various applications.

Split bearings combine all the features of conventional solid bearings with the added benefit of being easily assembled around a shaft. and today's materials and manufacturing methods ensure their reliability and long life are on a par with their solid counterparts.

because it is engineered and manufactured in halves, the complete bearing assembly allows for installation and inspection without disrupting other elements of the machinery. Equipment design can be focused on objectives without having to accommodate such things as bearing types, drive systems, couplings and gears during bearing inspections or maintenance.
