“Customers know precision roller bearings need to be protected, particularly when they operate in dirty, moist or contaminated environments,” said Jason Sejkora, principal sales engineer at Timken. “But, with so many choices available today, customers may find it challenging to select the best option. That requires a thorough understanding of the application and how the housing, seals and locks work with specific bearing types.”
Even the strongest bearing can be damaged by dirt or moisture that gets into tiny spaces between the rolling elements and raceways. Once inside, even small contaminants generate friction that can damage bearings, causing them to grind to a stop. Timken housed units provide additional layers of protection for products that must perform in challenging environments.
More: Why Do Bearings Fail?
Sejkora recommends a three-step process to choosing bearing housed units:
You probably already know process equipment and bulk material handling need housed units that can stand up to contamination and misalignment issues. But, there are other important factors to consider:
Consider an SNT/SAF plummer split-block housed unit because the base can be bolted into place before the bearing and cap are added.
A spherical roller bearing solid-block housed unit might be the answer because the housing is built around the bearing with your choice of multiple durable seal options.
Evaluate a tapered roller bearing housed unit because tapered bearings are designed to handle both axial and radial loads.
Try a ball bearing housed unit.

Provide excellent bearing protection with cast-iron housings and a variety of sealing options to help keep grease in and contamination out. Split-blocks combine high-performance spherical roller bearings with strong housings to meet the challenges of heavy industry, while simplifying assembly and service.
Made from rugged cast steel so they are tough enough to handle extremely harsh conditions and offer protection from contaminants, particularly when used with the many available advanced primary and secondary seal options. Steel auxiliary covers are also available to create another layer of protection from harsh conditions.
Provide excellent performance with a significantly longer life. Also, include optimized double lip seals, corrosion-resistant housings and powerful locking collars.
Wide variety of types and sizes to accommodate a complete range of industrial applications and operating conditions.
Take the time to investigate the application and available options, then enjoy the benefits of improved productivity and uptime. Particularly in rugged conditions, an investment in strong housings, seals and locking configurations will help keep your equipment running for a long time.
