Installation and Maintenance: The document emphasizes the ease of installation and maintenance-free nature of the bearing units. They are designed for high reliability and long service life, reducing machine downtimes and increasing profitability.
Protective Covers: Protective covers are available for most bearing units, offering additional safety and preventing lubricant discharge into sensitive environments. These covers are made from stainless steel and are available in closed or open versions.
Conclusion: The document provides comprehensive information on the design, specifications, and benefits of high-pressure washdown bearing units, highlighting their suitability for demanding industrial applications and their contribution to improved operational efficiency and safety.
Specifications: Pillow block units are designed with two protective covers, one open and one closed, suitable for both metric and imperial shafts. The units are available in narrow and wide cover designs, with suffixes indicating the type of cover and compatibility with bearing insert types. Protective covers are fixed in housing grooves for a strong fit and sealing effect.
Procedures: Protective covers can be installed tool-free by latching them into existing housing grooves. Flanged housings have one groove on the front side, while other housings have two machined grooves. Protective caps must be ordered separately and can only be fitted on one side of the housing.
Norms and Standards: Split plummer block housings comply with ISO113-2010 standards, ensuring high stiffness, stability, and optimized heat dissipation. They are suitable for shaft diameters ranging from 20 mm to 140 mm.
Recommendations: For environments requiring strong sealing and protection, use bearing units with protective covers. For high-speed applications, consider one-piece bearing housings with precise alignment and efficient sealing systems.
Benefits: Protective covers and caps reduce the risk of injury, enhance sealing effects, and prevent lubricant discharge. They also allow for larger deviations in shaft misalignment and are easy to install without tools.
Key Data from Tables: The document provides detailed specifications for various bearing units, including dimensions, load ratings, and compatibility with protective caps. It also lists suffixes and prefixes for different bearing insert types, indicating features like service-free operation, high-performance seals, and suitability for specific environments.
Critical Information: Ensure the correct suffix is chosen for the desired protective cover type and compatibility with the bearing insert. For later installation of protective covers, order housings with the suffix 'N'. Protective caps are available for both cast iron and thermoplastic bearing units.
Overview: The document provides detailed specifications for cast iron units with chrome steel bearing inserts, specifically focusing on flanged units with a four-bolt flange and square design. It includes comprehensive tables listing the main dimensions, dynamic and static load ratings, and weights for various unit models.
Main Sections:
  • Specifications: The document lists the main dimensions in millimeters for different unit models, including parameters such as unit length (L), width (J), height (A), and other critical dimensions (A1, A2, e, N, S, s1, B, B1, d1, G, Z, Dz).
  • Load Ratings: Each unit model is associated with dynamic load ratings (C) and static load ratings (C0) measured in kilonewtons (kN), indicating the load capacity of the bearings.
  • Weight: The weight of each unit is provided in kilograms (kg), which is crucial for understanding the handling and installation requirements.
  • Additional Features: The document mentions the availability of open and closed protective caps, which can be ordered with the units. It also notes that housings with grooves are included when protective covers are ordered, and specifies the need to order housings with suffix 'N' if protective covers are to be installed later.
Key Models and Data:
  • ESFE, EXFE, UCFE, USFE: These models are detailed with specific dimensions and load ratings, suitable for various shaft diameters ranging from 12mm to 90mm.
  • UKFE..H Models: These models include additional features such as adapter sleeves and are designed for higher load capacities.
Conclusion: The document serves as a technical reference for selecting the appropriate cast iron units with chrome steel bearing inserts based on specific application requirements, providing essential data for engineers and technicians involved in design and maintenance.
