Concerns in selecting mounted bearings
Mounted bearings consist of a rolling bearing and embedding bracket in form of pillow block, flange housing or take-up housing. The insert bearing can reliably support rotating shafts in various applications, without the need for costly and advanced machining of surrounding casings.
When selecting a mounted bearing for a given application, ultimately you want to be certain of achieving the designed level of equipment performance and at the lowest possible cost. Robustness is also very important because the conditions in which your equipment is assembled, operated and maintained may not be precisely known and may, in fact, vary over time.
We recommend following factors for your evaluation in choosing the right mounted bearing, they are:
- Desired performance and operating conditions
- Available mounting space and product type
- Product size
- Lubrication
- Shaft locking
- Sealing
- Mounting, dismounting and maintenance
