Bearings & Components for Aggregate Crushing & Screening Equipment

Bearings & Components for Aggregate Crushing & Screening Equipment

Crushing and screening equipment plays an important role in processing aggregates into the required sizes and specifications for construction, infrastructure and other industrial applications.

Bearings, housings, seals and power transmission components are used throughout crushers, screens, feeders and associated machinery to support movement and power transmission.

These applications can expose mechanical components to heavy loads, vibration, dust and contamination. Correct component selection, lubrication and maintenance are therefore important when maintaining crushing and screening equipment.

Components Used in Crushing & Screening Equipment

Spherical Roller Bearings

Spherical roller bearings are designed to accommodate heavy radial loads alongside axial loads and can tolerate a small amount of shaft misalignment.

Their robust design makes them suitable for demanding industrial machinery where high loads and vibration may be present.

When identifying a replacement, consider the existing bearing reference, dimensions, internal clearance, load and operating requirements.

Tapered Roller Bearings

Tapered roller bearings accommodate combined radial and axial loads and are used across a wide range of heavy-duty mechanical applications.

Different sizes and configurations are available depending on load, speed and bearing arrangement.

Use the existing bearing reference and accurate dimensions wherever possible when identifying a replacement.

Bearing Housings & Inserts

Bearing housings support and protect bearings and shafts within industrial machinery.

Different housing designs, bearing arrangements and sealing options are available depending on shaft size, load, mounting and operating conditions.

Correct bearing, housing and seal selection is particularly important where equipment is exposed to dust and contamination.

Explore our range of bearing housings and inserts.

Seals

Seals help retain lubricant while protecting bearings, shafts and other mechanical components against contamination.

Crushing and screening equipment can operate in environments containing significant amounts of dust, dirt and abrasive material, making effective sealing particularly important.

Consider seal dimensions, material, profile, shaft condition and operating environment when identifying a replacement.

Power Transmission Components

Belts, pulleys, chains, sprockets, couplings and related power transmission components transfer mechanical power throughout crushing, screening and feeding equipment.

Correct component specification and alignment are important for reliable operation and service life.

Use original component references and accurate dimensions when identifying replacement parts.

Maintaining Crushing & Screening Equipment

Crushers, screens and feeders can operate under demanding conditions involving heavy loads, vibration, shock, dust and contamination.

During appropriate maintenance, inspect bearings for excessive play, unusual noise, rough movement, overheating or damage. Check seals for deterioration or leakage, and inspect belts, chains, pulleys and sprockets for wear, damage and correct alignment.

Lubricate according to the equipment and bearing manufacturer's recommendations. Contaminated, insufficient or unsuitable lubrication can adversely affect bearing performance and service life.

Always follow the relevant equipment manufacturer's inspection, maintenance, installation and safety procedures.
