Split Roller Bearing Configurations
Our non-located bearing handle thermal growth better than spherical roller bearings.
In most bearing applications, there is one located (fixed) bearing and multiple non-located (free) bearings per shaft.
The reason for this is that the located bearing holds the shaft in position while the non-located bearing allows for thermal growth of the shaft.
The split bearing method of accommodating thermal growth is far superior to the plumber block method as it is able to tolerate axial displacement and mis-alignment simultaneously. This allows it to be used in applications that specifically need to accommodate excessive thermal growth, for example, in blood cookers.
