Our non-located
bearings handle
thermal growth better
In most bearing applications, there are located
(fixed) bearings and non-located (free) bearings.
The reason for this is that the located bearing
holds the shaft in position while the non-located
bearing allows for thermal growth of the shaft.
The split bearing method of accommodating thermal
growth is far superior to the plumber block method
as it is able to tolerate axial displacement and
mis-alignment simultaneously. This allows it to
be used in applications that specifically need
to accommodate excessive thermal grwoth, for example,
in blood cookers |

This bearing is designed for radial loads only.
As in the retained type bearing, the rollers are
guided on the inner race by the hardened shoulders
of the clamping rings.
Note how the roller and inner race
assembly is free
to move along the outer race to allow for axial
expansion |

This bearing has integral lips on the outer race
to
provide a surface for axial load. This axial load
is
accommodated on the inner race via the hardened
clamp rings, which both align the inner race halves
and provide roller guidance. In larger bearings
the inner race is manufactured with integral ribs
for roller guidance and axial load.
