Split bearings & housings

NBC stocks a broad range of split roller bearings

Many engineers prefer the ease of replacement where downtime costs are high, as well as the ease of inspection and maintenance when compared to traditional spherical roller bearing systems.

Housing designs cover a wide range of pedestals, round and square flange units, hanger units, take-up and rod-end styles with a wide range of seals available.

Product Overview

Cooper split bearings are commonly supplied in two different designs: the fixed type, which has the suffix ‘GR’, and the expansion type, which uses ‘EX’.

Fixed Bearings

The outer race of the fixed bearing has shoulders integral with the roller track, while the inner race assembly has shoulders formed by hardened lips on the clamping rings or similar integral shoulders. This type of bearing provides axial location to the rotating portions of machinery and can sustain both radial and axial loading. The inner race halves are accurately aligned by means of fitted clamping rings.

Expansion Bearings

The expansion-type bearing has a plain outer race roller track and takes radial loads only. The inner race is clamped to the shaft and moves axially with it when expansion or contraction occurs. The expansion bearing offers virtually no resistance to axial movement as the rollers spiral through the outer race.

The most common mounting option would be the pedestal. The actual design, along with the number of fixing bolts, can vary depending on the bearing size.

Sizes of Cooper Split Bearing Units

The Cooper units can offer three standard series for most shaft sizes:

01 series – Medium Duties

02 series – Heavy Duties

03 series – Extra Heavy Duties
