Tubular Housings
The Tubular Housing is a one-piece unit, integrating shaft, housing and two bearings which dispenses with the need for two separate plummer blocks and bearings with adapter sleeve assemblies. The unit is delivered assembled and pre-lubricated ready to install. Most commonly used in fan applications, the units are also used in pumps, circular saws and transmissions.
Integrating modern deep-groove ball bearings guarantees high rotational accuracy and the units accommodate high levels of radial and thrust load with low friction and long grease life. Both installation and operating costs are significantly reduced from a two housing installation.
Integral labyrinth sealing ensures cleanliness and allows operation at very high speeds (up to 15000 rpm dependant on size). Sealed ball bearings can be fitted on request to dispense with the need to regrease.
Bearing combinations incorporating angular contact ball bearings or a ball bearing and cylindrical roller bearing can be fitted to accommodate extreme thrust and radial loads respectively. Contact us to carry out a load analysis.
Shaft diameters are available from 18mm to 100mm with shaft extensions up to 60mm to suit most applications.
