Bearing housings and mounted units

Housings are what we know best. We manufacture them ourselves under EMMAR, our own brand, and they are the product many of our customers first came to us for.

A split pillow block housing is built in two halves, a base and a cap. You can remove or install the bearing without pulling the shaft out of the machine—on a long line shaft or a conveyor, that can mean an hour of downtime instead of a whole shift. The bore is machined for spherical roller bearings in the 222 and 223 series mounted on adapter sleeves, and the seals are chosen for the environment: a clean shop, a dusty quarry and a plant hosed down with pressurized water each need something different.

In-house we produce the SN, SNL, SONL, SAF, FNL, TVN and 722500 series, along with special housings built to your drawings. They interchange with the standard series used across the industry, so they drop into the existing installation without changing the foundation or rebuilding the base.

Mounted units with self-aligning inserts are a different product: a one-piece housing with the insert bearing already fitted and locked to the shaft with set screws. UCP is the pillow block with a base, UCF and UCFL are flange units, and UCT is the take-up unit. They install quickly, accommodate initial misalignment and are the usual choice for farm equipment, conveyors and light machinery. Stainless steel versions are offered for food processing.

When the housing you need is out of production, we can reproduce it. Send us the original part, even a broken one, or its drawing.
