Hanger Bearing Assemblies
Hanger bearings consist of a housing with an insert bearing element. They're most often used as rotational bearings on shafts that are enclosed in a conveyor trough or other housing. A few common applications for hanger bearings include screw conveyors, suspended shafting, and heavy industrial machinery. They're also frequently used in agricultural applications.
Hanger bearing assemblies typically come in a single or split construction. While you can't disassemble single-piece housings, you can take split housings apart during maintenance or for hanger bearing replacement.
Hanger bearings are sized based on the diameter of the shaft. Standard sizes include:
- 1 1/2 inches
- 2 inches
- 2 7/16 inches
- 3 7/16 inches
There are two types of hanger bearings. Rolling element hanger bearings feature rollers or balls between the inner and outer rings. The rolling elements help to reduce friction. The other type, plain hanger bearings, features inner and outer rings that are in continuous contact with each other.
Lubrication is essential when working with hanger bearings. Some are impregnated with oil and are self-lubricating. In other cases, you can use ceramic inserts to reduce friction and noise and extend the life of the bearing.
