Mounted Bearings
In a mounted bearing, the bearing is installed in a housing for easier installation within its application. Mounted bearings are available in a variety of configurations, including industry-specific designs engineered to solve unique problems. Available rolling elements include ball bearings, spherical roller bearings and tapered roller bearings designed to fit diverse applications.

Mounted Ball Bearings
A mounted ball bearing is contained within a variety of housing types, locking mechanisms and mounting styles to suit a wide variety of applications. Mounted ball bearing units have some degree of external static self-aligning capability to help accommodate misalignment. Included are also specialty ball bearings such as washdown capable, fan bearings, and more
Mounted Spherical Roller Bearings
Mounted spherical roller bearings employ a double row design, which are set at an angle and can accept a limited degree of thrust load in combination with radial load. Spherical roller bearings create an elliptical shaped contact area that is larger than a ball bearing. This attribute makes them ideal for applications where both static and dynamic misalignment is present.
Mounted Tapered Roller Bearings
Tapered roller bearings create a line contact between the raceway and rolling element, distributing loads across a larger area. A double row provides twice as many rolling elements to carry the bearing load, which increases bearing load capacity. Because tapered roller bearings are set at an angle, they can accept heavy loads from radial and thrust directions. This makes tapered roller bearings ideal for tough mining, bulk material handling, and off-highway applications.
Mounted Sleeve Bearings
Mounted sleeve bearings offer reduced maintenance operation, including extra-long life and no lubrication requirements. These bearings are offered in a range of different housing types and materials to help take on a variety of applications.

Mounted Bearing Locking Trends in Unit Material Handling Applications
A “one-size-fits-all” bearing selection does not apply universally — especially when it comes to lock reliability and the locking types of mounted bearings. The trend in unit material handling applications has shifted from traditional setscrew locking designs to newer concentric locking solutions. Concentric locking results in more near-perfect concentricity, quieter operation, increased lock reliability, higher speed of operation, and less damage to the shafting. The results: improved equipment performance and increased uptime.
