Mounted bearing units at MPT Drives, Inc., are available with plain, ball, and roller bearing options. Mounted bearings are available in sizes ranging from ½" to 16" To identify the size of the bearing required for your application, you can check the shaft size, the base to the center height, and bolt spacing. Along with this, the load characteristics, mounting limitations, desired speed, and application environment will also help you in selecting the right type of mounted bearing.
We offer mounted bearings in many varieties including a range of sizes and options, as well as industry-specific designs.
Pillow Block
It is the most common type of mounted bearing
Offered in two or four bolt options
Offered in high and low shaft heights
Offered with different base options such as tapped base units
Flanged Mounted Bearings
Offered in two, three, and four bolt options
Mounted horizontally
Popular with flanged cartridge varieties
Take Up Units
Usually used with conveyors where adjustment is required
Ball Type Mounted Bearings
These utilize a wide or narrow inner ring
Two common collar types are: setscrew collar and eccentric collar
The setscrew locking collars use two setscrews, which are threaded into drilled and tapped holes within an extension of the bearing’s inner ring
The eccentric locking collars type bearing has an extended inner ring
This ring contains a channel that is eccentric to the shaft, and a matching channel in a collar, which fits over the bearing’s inner ring extension
Eccentric locking collars are not recommended for bidirectional applications
Roller type mounted bearings
Unlike ball bearings, these are used for heavy duty applications
They require more rigid locking to the shaft
Mounted bearing units are also available with cylindrical and spherical configurations.
