Adapter Bearing

Adapter bearings are mounted units designed for use in equipment where shafts are supported in frames or sheet metal surfaces. They combine a self-aligning bearing with seals, a mounting flange, and a shaft locking collar into a compact pre-lubricated, easily installable unit. Typical applications include overhead doors, gates in shopping malls, conveyor systems, packaging machines, and agricultural equipment.

Advantages

• Heavy gauge stamped steel mounting flanges provide for a compact, space-saving design
• Self-aligning design accommodates 3/8 inch of misalignment per foot of shaft length
• Capacity for combined radial or thrust loads
• Package construction needs no pre-installation adjustments, fitting or assembling
• Over-size, factory packed lubricant chamber assures maximum life and operating efficiency without troublesome relubrication
• Bearing races are hardened to resist wear, outers and inners are accurately formed for smooth running
• Aetna's self-contouring, free-running, self-wiping seal provides positive contact under all conditions of misalignment
• Full ball complement for high durability
