Features & Benefits of SRB
Superior Sealing
SRB units have inherent advantages over traditional
solid bearing arrangements when considering sealing.
The spherical location between housing and support
ensures that whichever type of seal is used, it will
always remain concentric to the shaft.

 A
Split Roller Bearing takes up misalignment
by means of the spherical outside interface of
the housing.
This means the seals remain concentric
with the shaft at all times.
This is a very effective
sealing arrangement.

| SPHERICAL
ROLLER BEARING = less effective sealing |
 A
Spherical Roller Bearing takes
up misalignment within the bearing, the housing
is static.
The result of any misalignment is
that the seal will be compressed on one side and
a gap will open on the other, rending
the seal ineffective.
