Insert Bearings

Insert bearings feature a spherical outer diameter and are designed to be mounted within housings for quick installation and secure shaft support. These bearings are ideal for applications that require ease of maintenance and replacement, including agricultural equipment, conveyors, and packaging machinery. Their design accommodates moderate misalignment, helping extend bearing life and maintain reliable performance in demanding operating conditions.

Options: Available in a wide range of configurations to meet diverse application requirements, with solutions manufactured under our IPTCI, PTI and TRITAN brands. Bearing material options include:

  • AISI steel

  • Black oxide-treated steel

  • Hard chrome coated steel

  • Corrosion-resistant stainless steel for enhanced durability and environmental resistance.

Precision-machined for strength and long service life, MasterDrive sheaves, pulleys, and bushings help support efficient, reliable power transmission performance.

Bore types include round, straight, and tapered designs, with multiple locking mechanisms such as set screw, eccentric collar, concentric collar, and tapered sleeve to ensure secure shaft attachment.

Closure options range from double shielded designs to advanced sealing solutions like:

  • Triple lip seals

  • Dual seal configurations (B-Type and K-Type)

  • IP69K sealing

  • QCW seals for superior protection against contaminants and washdown environments.

Insert bearings are available in light, medium, standard, and heavy-duty configurations to support varying load requirements. A wide selection of lubrication options is offered, including:

  • NLGI #2 grease

  • Lithium-based greases

  • High-temperature and solid PolyLube solutions

  • H1 food-grade greases for sanitary applications.

Bearings may be supplied as relubricatable, non-relubricatable, or lubricated-for-life depending on maintenance preferences.
