Split Bearing Sealing

Split Roller Bearing

A Split Roller Bearing takes up misalignment by means of the spherical outside interface of the housing. This means the seals remain concentric with the shaft at all times. This is a very effective sealing arrangement.

Plummer Block

A Spherical Roller Bearing takes up misalignment within the bearing, the housing is static. The result of any misalignment is that the seal will be compressed on one side and a gap will open on the other, rending the seal ineffective.
