Introducing Split Bearings: Cost-Cutting Solution With Longer Bearing Life

Written by SLS | November 19, 2018


Have you ever experienced the difficulties to retain bearings performance in harsh conditions, or having trouble maintaining bearings in trapped locations, both of which result in poor bearing performance, and ultimately, premature failure?

If your answer is yes, we may have just found the perfect solution for you.

Split roller bearings have the ability to perform under even the most hostile condition, providing you with the greatest advantage to your business operation while delivering low-cost solution.

Superior sealing:  A longer working life for your bearings  

Split bearings have seals that are located in end bores of a bearing cartridge with a spherical outside diameter. Due to the external alignment of the bearing cartridge in its housing, the seals are always perpendicular to the shaft. In this way, the sealing solution ensures optimum service life in even the most adverse environments. SLS has a wide variety of seals that are available to suit individual requirements.

Easy Maintenance, Downtime Savings

The design of split bearings is perfect for maintenance. The task of lifting and handling, making assembly seems like a breeze even in the most cramped and inaccessible situation. Change out is simple and clearances are pre-set, thus no on-site adjustment and specialize fitting tools are required.

Split roller bearings are also appreciated for savings potential across a range of industrial segments.  Regardless of planned maintenance or failure of original bearing, dramatic reductions of machinery maintenance and downtime are achieved. This reduction can be achieved because there is no longer a need to dismount the associated equipment. The advantages of the split bearing solution is especially valuable in inaccessible or trapped locations e.g. between head pulley and gear box or motor.
