Split Cylindrical Roller Bearing

Split cylindrical roller bearings have a row of cylindrical rollers and cylindrical inner and outer ring raceways. Split cylindrical roller bearings are used for rolling machinery that is very difficult to install, disassemble and maintain. They are usually installed in boxes suitable for different types of enclosures. Split cylindrical roller bearings have a wide range of products and can be used in many different industries, from the light and compact 100 series (which can achieve high operating speeds) to the 03/03E series (which can be used in extreme load conditions).

Advantages of split cylindrical roller bearings

Split cylindrical roller bearings are essential in applications involving limited access and are highly cost-effective where downtime due to change-outs results in significant production losses. Split cylindrical roller bearings are completely split to the shaft. Installation and inspection times are therefore dramatically less than for solid bearings. Additionally, the time saved and costs eliminated by not having to remove ancillary equipment results in even higher potential savings.

1. Inspection Simplified

No matter what the size or type of split cylindrical roller bearing, inspection is straightforward. Simply remove the support cap and the top half of the housing and all bearing parts become visible and accessible. As a result, a considerable number of man-hours can be saved during planned maintenance, further adding to the potential cost savings available.

2. Short Term Payback, Long Term Benefits

Though it would be easy to cite examples where the use of split bearings results in spectacular savings, the truth of the matter is that savings of a significant amount can be made in almost any trapped application. Even modest savings can be enough to justify the use of split bearings. Depending on the application, down times for the replacement of split bearings can be a small fraction of those required for solid bearings. This yields savings in both maintenance man-hours and lost production.

3. Further Savings

In situations where EPT split bearings are used to replace other split bearing brands, the potential for savings exists. Through the use of machined brass cages as standard, the inclusion of profiled rolling elements, and the incorporation of high-grade materials for housings and supports, EPT split bearings have the capability to extend service life leading to a reduction in bearing consumption.

Applications

Typical areas of application include conveying equipment, materials processing plant, ventilation plant, rolling mills, ships, and paper machinery.
