Housings
Housings are machine components used to house and secure bearings, which receive shafts to transmit force and motion.
They are robust mechanical elements, ready for assembly, for the arrangement of cost-effective support systems. Their main function is to hold the bearings and protect them from contaminants while retaining the lubricant inside. Additionally, they can also accommodate monitoring equipment.
They provide pre-mounted bearing solutions that can be customized, helping to maximize performance, service life, and cost-effective maintenance of the incorporated bearing.
Two-piece pillow block housings are the most popular in the market due to their design, quality, and affordability. These housings are characterized by their strength, versatility, and easy maintenance. Their main function is to extend the bearing’s service life with reduced maintenance needs. They are specially designed to maximize the effects of lubricants and can withstand high temperatures and high-speed bearing operation.

Types of supports
Self-aligning bearings
Self-aligning ball bearings have a spherical raceway in the outer ring, which matches the bearing's center of curvature. This allows the inner ring, balls, and cage to continue rotating, aligning themselves if they become misaligned within design limits. These bearings are suitable when there is a displacement between the centers on which the shaft and housing rotate, causing shaft deflection. Bearings with a tapered bore can be easily adjusted using a mounting sleeve. These bearings can withstand both static and dynamic misalignments. Their good sealing also protects them from dirt and other contaminants. Self-aligning bearings are used in various fields such as mining, food processing, and mass production industries like textiles. Among the many advantages of self-aligning bearings is their excellent performance with light loads, as they have very low load requirements. Furthermore, they are known for their low noise levels. Self-aligning bearings produce low levels of noise due to the loose conformity between the balls and the outer ring. This makes them particularly suitable for use in household items such as fans and air conditioners.
Spherical bearings
A spherical bearing is a mechanical component that enables the transmission of static and dynamic forces with oscillating, rotating, and tilting movements in multiple directions. It is a type of sliding spherical bearing that incorporates a spherical inner ring, with precision and hardness equivalent to steel ball bearings. It provides very smooth and backlash-free oscillating and rotating motion. There are several types of spherical bearings, with the most well-known and commonly used in the industrial and automotive sectors being the steering ball joints and suspension ball joints. These are essential elements to consider when performing relative movements at certain angles along a line. Steering ball joints are a fundamental part of any traction system that incorporates a wheel in its mechanism. Their function is to facilitate the execution of turns, whether upward, downward, or in lateral directions. On the other hand, suspension ball joints are spherical joints that, thanks to the parts that form them, allow vertical and rotational movement. They are made up of bushings that perform the necessary frictions inside a kind of protective casing.
Split supports
Split bearing supports are characterized by being more economical, easy to replace and very simple maintenance. These split supports allow the mounting of both ball and roller bearings and with them you can achieve fixed or free supports depending on whether rings are inserted or not. Thanks to their design, they can support a vertical load on the clamping surface. The permissible load is determined by the lift coefficient of the mounted bearing.
