Support Types
SRB bearings and housings may be mounted in a variety of support units according to the application and loading constraints. A number of variants are available as standard types with other unit types available on request. SRB can also offer a design and manufacturing facility to produce bespoke units to cover more specialised applications.
Pillow Block Type
This is by far the most popular method for mounting SRB units. These supports are manufactured from high strength, grade 250 (BS EN1561 :1997) cast iron.
This, combined with the robust design, provides a stable, rigid base, allowing the split bearing fitted to give optimum performance.
Flange Units
In applications where bearings need to be mounted against horizontal or vertical faces, SRB flange units provide a simple means of achieving this goal. Again, the use of Grade 250 cast iron ensures a durable unit.
Hanger Units
A compact unit commonly used for supporting screw conveyors or similar equipment.
Take-up Units
These sliding units can be used to effectively tension conveyor and elevator systems. Both pull and push types are available.
