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.
Additional options include cast iron housing compatibility, cylindrical or spherical outer diameter profiles, and retainer materials such as steel or 302 stainless steel.
