Insert Bearing For Printing Machinery

Insert bearings, also known as bearing inserts, are specialized radial bearings designed for mounted unit applications. Their versatility and durability make them essential bearings for a variety of industries, including agriculture, printing, and food processing. We’ll walk you through the common uses and unique features of insert bearings so you can choose the best insert bearing for your project.   Key Features of Insert Bearings Easy to Relubricate: Insert bearings equipped with Zerk fittings can be easily relubricated, extending their service life and ensuring smooth operation. Zerk fittings are available as standard and can be designed for specific bearings. High Load Capacity: Insert bearings have greater load capacity than standard single-row or double-row radial ball bearings, making them suitable for heavy-duty applications. Various Housing Materials: Insert bearing housings can be made from materials such as cast iron, thermoplastics, pressed steel, or stainless steel. Options also include nickel-plated or zinc-plated housings for added durability. Anti-Rotation Pin: This optional feature reduces rotation on the bearing’s outer diameter, improving stability and performance. Common Applications for Insert Bearings Agriculture Insert bearings play a vital role in agricultural machinery. They are used in equipment such as tractors, harvesters and plows that operate under heavy loads and in harsh environments. The high load capacity and easy maintenance of insert bearings ensure that these machines operate smoothly and reliably.   Printing Precision and consistency are critical in the printing industry. Insert bearings provide the necessary support and stability for printing presses and related machinery. Plated housing options add an extra layer of protection against wear, extending the life of the equipment.   Food Processing In the food processing industry, equipment must meet strict hygiene standards. Insert bearings with stainless steel or food-grade coatings are ideal for this environment. They are used in conveyors, mixers and packaging machines and must resist corrosion and contamination. The availability of food-grade greases ensures compliance with health and safety regulations. Product Specifications When selecting an insert bearing, it is important to consider its specifications to ensure it meets your requirements: Material: Insert bearings can be made from 52100 chrome steel or 440 stainless steel. They can also be nickel or zinc plated and are available with a black oxide coating upon request. Locking Options: Various methods of securing the bearing to the shaft include set screw locking rings, eccentric locking rings, or squeeze-type rings. Seals: For normal applications, nitrile rubber seals with metal shields are available. For harsh environments, triple-lip seals are available. Customization: We offer customization options to meet your specific needs.   Insert bearings are indispensable in many industrial applications due to their adaptability and rugged performance. Whether in agriculture, printing, food processing, or other industries, WISON insert bearings provide reliable support to ensure that machinery runs smoothly and efficiently. By understanding the features and specifications of insert bearings, you can choose the type that suits your needs and improve the performance and life of your equipment.   Selecting a high-quality insert bearing is a wise investment that ensures your machinery runs efficiently in a variety of applications.
