NA 210 Insert Bearing TR

An insert bearing, also known as a mounted bearing or insert ball bearing, is a type of rolling-element bearing designed to be inserted into a housing to provide support and facilitate smooth rotation for a shaft. These bearings are commonly used in various applications where it’s necessary to support a rotating shaft within a housing, such as in conveyor systems, agricultural machinery, and industrial equipment.

Here are some key characteristics and features of insert bearings:

• Design: Insert bearings typically consist of a bearing insert (the inner ring with the rolling elements) and an outer housing or pillow block. The outer housing is often equipped with mounting holes for secure attachment to a machine or structure.
• Mounting: They are designed to be easily installed into a housing or pillow block by simply inserting the bearing into the housing and securing it in place with bolts or set screws.
• Variety: Insert bearings come in various designs and configurations, with different types of locking mechanisms. Common locking methods include set screw locking, eccentric locking collar, and concentric locking collar.
• Lubrication: Like other bearings, insert bearings require proper lubrication to reduce friction and heat generation. They can be equipped with seals or shields to retain lubrication and protect against contaminants.
• Shaft Compatibility: Insert bearings are available in a range of sizes to accommodate different shaft diameters. It’s essential to choose the right size and type of insert bearing to ensure a proper fit.
• Load Capacity: Insert bearings are capable of handling radial and axial loads, depending on their design and configuration.
• Versatility: They are used in various industries, including agriculture, manufacturing, construction, and material handling, among others.
• Maintenance: Insert bearings are generally low-maintenance, but regular inspection and lubrication are necessary to ensure optimal performance and longevity.

The choice of insert bearing depends on the specific application, load requirements, and environmental conditions. When selecting an insert bearing, it’s essential to consider factors such as the type of locking mechanism, bearing material, load capacity, and operating temperature to ensure reliable and efficient operation
