Bearing Accessories
Bearing accessories help to mount the bearings onto the shafts of the machine in which they are being used. It is because of the use of these bearing accessories that it becomes easy to facilitate dismounting and mounting of the bearings onto the shafts. The various bearing accessories may include plummer blocks, adapter sleeves, pin tightening device, withdrawal sleeves, thrust ring, bearing seat and lock nut.
Plummer blocks
Plummer blocks are cast iron blocks that deliver high performance, are easy to handle, and have exceptional rigidity. Their high functionality and stiffness is something that makes them useful for application in a range of industries.
Plummer blocks come with circular ribs that allow for the heat to dissipate and aid in smooth machine functioning. The circular ribs are present on the housing body that offer outstanding form, rigidity and stability to the housing. They come with alignment markings that help in easy and quick alignment with the other parts of the mechanical system. For enhanced functioning, the plummer blocks can be lubricated with oil or grease.
Withdrawal sleeves
Withdrawal sleeves also find their use in connecting cylindrical shafts to the tapered bore bearings. It is because of their use that disassembly & assembly of bearings is possible. Withdrawal sleeves help in simplifying the bearing arrangement design and their installation is at the end of the cylindrical shaft.
All types of tapered bore bearings like spherical ball, double-row cylindrical roller and spherical roller bearings that have large specifications are convenient for use. They can help assemble and maintain the mechanical system which makes them suitable for use in different industries. They serve purpose in machines used in the metallurgy industry, light industry, and the rolling mills industry.
Adapter sleeves
To position the bearings on cylindrical shafts, adapter sleeves are typically used along with the tapered bore. Stepped or optical shafts usually serve their purpose in a mechanical system with adapter sleeves. They consist of a lock nut, set bushing and a locking device.
The adapter sleeves are used to connect the cylindrical shaft with the tapered bore bearing in varying machines. They can also connect tapered bore spherical ball or roller bearings with the shaftless shoulder shafts. With a simple structure, they are convenient to use, can help replace bearing, and reliable for machinery operations. Their application is in light industry, belt transportation equipment, textile industry, metallurgy industry, conveyor systems, and papermaking industry.
Lock nuts
Lock nuts secure adapter sleeves or shafts to the bearings and have a role in helping to remove the mounted bearings. They can also help mount the bearings on tapered shafts or withdrawal sleeves.
Lock nuts are used in varying mechanical systems and numerous industries as it works on the principle of self-locking through the use of friction present between the bolt and the nut. The self-locking is not very reliable when there are dynamic loads upon the machine or system but some anti-loosening measures can help enhance the dependability of nut locking.
