Pillow Block Bearings for Conveyor Rollers in a Sludge Treatment Plant

Our special pillow block bearings were used for the conveyor rollers in the sludge treatment plant. Originally, there was a consideration to extend the lifespan because the previously used pillow block bearings were worn out by sludge. To prevent sludge from remaining in the sliding area, we made special holes along the outer diameter of the bushing to the inner diameter and milled spirals into the inner diameter. These holes serve to allow the sludge that accumulates in the inner diameter to flow through and help extend the lifespan by enabling a water solution. In fact, tests with this specification showed that wear was significantly reduced compared to before. As[…..]

Non-Magnetic and Insulating Bearings That Do Not React to Metal Detectors

Our plastic bearings can be used near metal detectors. To ensure that there are no metal contaminants present, we do not use metallic bearings in such locations, as they can react to metal detectors and lead to inaccurate results. Metal is detected through methods such as electrical conductivity or magnetic reaction, but plastic is generally an insulator and non-magnetic, making it useful in such specialized environments. However, some plastics can accumulate static electricity due to their insulation. Since this electrostatic charge can sometimes interfere with equipment, we recommend using bearings made of antistatic plastic in such cases. Depending on requirements, we offer solutions with various materials. Please contact us if[…..]

Phenolic Split Plain Bearing (Half-Split Plain Bearing: Two-Piece Bushing: Two-Piece Plain Bearing)

Phenolic Split Plain Bearing (two-piece bushing: two-piece plain bearing) that allows easy replacement of the bearing alone in hard-to-reach areas with long, heavy, or complex shafts. Phenolic Split Plain Bearing Phenolic Split Plain Bearing (also known as Half-Split Plain Bearing, Two-Piece Bushing, Two-Piece Plain Bearing, Split Metal) A plain bearing that is halved in shape. In conventional plain bearings (bushings: plain bearings), the shaft passes through the bearing. When replacing the bearing, especially if the shaft is heavy, long, or part of a complex structure, it is necessary to disassemble everything, remove the shaft, and replace the bearing, which is very labor-intensive. By using a two-piece plain bearing (bushing: plain[…..]

Pillow Block for Use in Water Treatment Plants

Currently in use in a stirring device in a water treatment plant. In an aqueous environment, regular pillow blocks tend to allow water ingress and corrode. To address this issue, we have chosen a housing made of stainless steel, a bushing made of UKB522*, and a sleeve made of stainless steel, which we are currently using. (*For detailed information on the material UKB522, please refer to the list of available products under “Plain Bearings” and “Pillow Blocks.”) Pillow Block for Use in Water Treatment Plants Related Pages ・Plain Bearings (Bushings) ・Pillow Blocks (Bearing Units) ・Water/Seawater ・Cleaning Machines ・Food Back to Case studies
