Its main function is to support the mechanical rotating body, reduce the friction coefficient during its movement and ensure its accuracy. Although modern bearings are highly engineered components, their ultimate performance depends very much on how they are housed. Bearing housings are modular assemblies designed to make it easy to install bearings and shafts while protecting bearings, extending their operating life, and simplifying maintenance.

These products can be designed to meet specific duty requirements such as load, speed and operating environmental conditions.

This gives significantly simpler mounting and maintenance. The two halves of housing form a matched pair and must not be interchanged with parts from other housings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Split Plummer block housings are an excellent choice for easy installation and maintenance as they not only accommodate pre-assembled shafts but also simplify bearing inspections and maintenance as the shaft does not need to be disassembled. These <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">types of bearing housing<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are designed for self-aligning ball bearings, spherical roller bearings, and CARB toroidal roller bearings.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Non-split Plummer Block Housing<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the case of non-split Plummer block housings, the housing body is a single piece, so the bearing seat is free from parting lines. The non-split Plummer block housings also include Plummer block housing units VRE3. These are made available as completely assembled and greased bearing arrangement units comprising housing, seals, bearings, and shaft.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Non-split Plummer block housings are preferred when there are heavy loads acting in a direction other than toward the support surface. They are also used when the housing has to be mounted from the end of the shaft.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9789\" src=\"https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Flanged-housing.jpg\" alt=\"types of bearing housing\" width=\"700\" height=\"684\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Flanged-housing.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Flanged-housing-300x293.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Flanged-housing-696x680.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Flanged-housing-430x420.jpg 430w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Flanged Housing<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Flanged housings are well-proven machine parts that have a flange perpendicular to the shaft axis and thus offer the ideal adjacent construction for numerous machines and pieces of equipment where the use of Plummer block housings would be too demanding.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As mentioned above, these <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">types of bearing housings<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> provide a solution for applications that do not have a frame parallel to the shaft and are available in oval, circular, and square formats that accommodate bearing types similar to those of Plummer block housings. These housings provide simple, reliable housing in applications without horizontal frames. They enable the full-service life potential of the incorporated bearings to be exploited, but with reduced maintenance requirements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9790\" src=\"https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Take-up-housing.jpg\" alt=\"types of bearing housing\" width=\"700\" height=\"819\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Take-up-housing.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Take-up-housing-256x300.jpg 256w, https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Take-up-housing-696x814.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Take-up-housing-359x420.jpg 359w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Take-up Housing<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take-up housings were developed specifically for tensioner drum bearing arrangements in the belt conveyor plant. The housings are unsplit and there is a yoke-shaped drawbar eye for attachment to the tensioning device. Take-up housings are mounted onto a guide frame and are designed to accommodate heavy loads acting in different directions. These types of loads are typically encountered in conveyors, roller beds, and crushers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9791\" src=\"https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Two-bearing-housing.jpg\" alt=\"types of bearing housing\" width=\"555\" height=\"404\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Two-bearing-housing.jpg 555w, https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Two-bearing-housing-300x218.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Two-bearing-housing-324x235.jpg 324w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 555px) 100vw, 555px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Two-bearing Housing<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Two-bearing housings were originally developed for fan shafts with an overhung impeller, but are also suitable for other applications with similar shaft arrangements. These housings have intrinsically aligned bearing seats, which enable rigid bearings, such as deep groove ball bearings, angular contact ball bearings, and cylindrical roller bearings to be accommodated.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">types of bearing housing<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are typically used in applications with an overhanging load. Compared to the conventional shaft arrangement where two self-aligning bearings are mounted in separate pillow (Plummer) block housings, two-bearing housings provide several advantages including improved running accuracy and quieter operation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, non-standard bearing housing designs can also be supplied to particular customer requirements or to expand the scope of delivery where:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Special technical requirements are present.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The customer has particular specifications that must be fulfilled.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, where special shaft center heights, unusual sealing arrangements, or non-standard materials of construction may be specified.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Bearing Housing Selection<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Appropriate housing seal selection will depend upon the operating conditions. These seals are available in a variety of designs, the most common being radial shaft seals. However, for extremely contaminated or wet environments it may be necessary to use an engineered seal comprising three- or even four-stage labyrinths in combination with an internal V-ring for additional sealing effect and efficient grease purging.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It must be noted that different <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">types of bearing housing<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are generally supplied as standalone devices, requiring customers to specify all additional components separately. As this can be a time-consuming task, manufacturers offer complete pre-assembled bearing units or kits, which include the housing, bearing, seals, sensors, and locating rings necessary to create a working bearing system.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Are_Bearing_Housings_Made_of\"><\/span><b>What Are Bearing Housings Made of?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gray cast iron is a common material used for bearing housings. Metals of various grades can be used to make the same products, including ductile iron, steel, and stainless steel, as well as some types of thermoplastics and polyethylene-based plastics.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, this was everything you needed to know about different <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">types of bearing housing<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
