Self Lube Bearings Overview

 

The range of Self-Lube® bearing units offer a wide choice of cast iron, pressed steel or synthetic rubber housings fitted with the full range of spherical outside diameter Self-Lube® bearing inserts. They will accommodate initial housing misalignment up to 0.030 radians but are not recommended for running misalignment in excess of 0.001 radians.

The general housing types are pillow blocks, flange units, take-up units, cartridge units and hanger units. Choice is very much determined by the requirements of the application, although the aesthetic appearance of the machine design is often an important consideration. Self-Lube® units have been designed to meet the needs of both criteria.

The castings are made from high-quality cast iron, and finished on unmachined surfaces with an electrostatic air-drying paint.

Pressed steel housings are made from mild steel strip, and are zinc plated.
