A single row ball bearing built to sit inside a split housing, the SEALMASTER RUBRE 100 series insert uses a spherical outer ring so the shaft keeps some freedom to move out of line. That makes it a common choice on conveying and power transmission equipment. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this line and helps buyers match the insert to the housing and the shaft.

Reading the code is the quickest way to narrow down a replacement. RUBRE marks the insert bearing family, while the digits that come after it point to the bore and the matching outside diameter. Every reference in the 100 series keeps the same spherical outer ring and the same locking arrangement, so the differences between them come down to the main dimensions. Give us the full part number on WhatsApp and we will come back with the exact reference.

Typical mounting is a split housing, either cast iron or stamped steel. You will see these inserts on belt conveyors, bucket elevators, mixers, mills and process lines in food, chemical and aggregate operations, and in packaging, grain handling and industrial ventilation as well. Split housings and periodic relubrication keep maintenance work simple in those settings.

Selection starts with two things: the shaft diameter and the locking method the housing is built for. RUBRE 100 units are normally supplied with set screws on the inner ring or with an eccentric collar, depending on the variant. Match the sealing to the surroundings, whether that means dust, moisture or washdown, and confirm the housing leaves room for the axial float the application needs. At mounting, line the shaft up with the housing, apply a medium-consistency grease and bring the set screws down onto the shaft without overtightening.

Inserts from other manufacturers can often be swapped in when the shaft diameter and the outer ring shape are the same, but check the housing dimensions, the locking system and the sealing first. SEALMASTER RUBRE 100 inserts fit housings that take spherical outer ring inserts of the same nominal size. If you are unsure, send the part number off the old bearing and we will point you to the closest match.
