Thermoplastic housed bearing units are corrosion-resistant, high-performance bearing assemblies designed for industries requiring stringent hygiene standards, chemical resistance, and durability. These units combine a robust thermoplastic housing with a 420C stainless steel bearing insert, pre-packed with food-safe grease, making them ideal for harsh environments where moisture, washdowns, and chemical exposure are common.
Shapes and Configurations:
To accommodate various installation requirements and load conditions, thermoplastic housed bearing units are available in multiple mounting configurations:
1. 2 Bolt Flange (NFL/FD)
Oval-shaped housing with two mounting holes.
Ideal for compact applications.
Provides moderate load-bearing capacity.
2. 3 Bolt Flange (FBL)
Circular housing with three evenly spaced mounting holes.
Enhanced stability and better load distribution.
3. 4 Bolt Flange (FPL)
Square housing with four mounting holes.
Exceptional stability and resistance to misalignment.
4. Pillow Block (PPL)
Single-piece base with two mounting holes.
Allows easy shaft alignment and quick installation.
5. Tapped-Base Pillow Block (PA/PAL)
Threaded mounting holes, no need for through-bolts.
Ideal for machinery with pre-drilled mounting surfaces.
6. Take-Up Unit (TPL/HPL)
Allows adjustable positioning along a guided slot.
Used in belt and chain-driven applications.
