Thermoplastic Housed Bearing Units

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.

Colour Variants and Industry Applications:

1. Green – Food Processing Industry

  • Designed for food and beverage processing.
  • FDA-approved, resistant to bacteria buildup.

2. White – Pharmaceutical Industry

  • Used in pharmaceutical and medical applications.
  • Non-porous for easy sterilization.

3. Black – Petrochemical Industry

  • Resistant to chemicals, hydrocarbons, and extreme environments.
  • Durable for demanding industrial settings.

High-Performance Stainless Steel Bearing Inserts:

  • Material: 420C stainless steel, corrosion-resistant.
  • Pre-Lubricated: Packed with food-safe grease.
  • Sealed and Shielded: Prevents water, dust, and chemical ingress.

Operating Temperature Range:

  • Bearing Insert: -50°C to +250°C
  • Thermoplastic Housing: -35°C to +102°C

Key Benefits of Thermoplastic Housed Bearing Units:

  • Corrosion Resistance: Suitable for wet, humid, and chemically aggressive environments.
  • Hygienic Design: Smooth, non-porous surface prevents bacterial buildup.
  • Durable & Low Maintenance: Pre-lubricated with food-safe grease.
  • Versatile Applications: Available in multiple shapes and configurations.
  • Temperature Resilience: Operates in extreme hot and cold conditions.
