Insert bearing, also known as a "insert ball bearing," is a type of bearing that is designed to fit into a housing. These bearings typically consist of an outer ring, an inner ring, and a set of balls that are positioned between the two rings. The outer ring of an insert bearing typically has a spherical or cylindrical shape, while the inner ring is usually designed to fit onto a shaft.

Insert bearings are commonly used in applications where the bearing needs to be easily mounted and dismounted, such as in agricultural equipment, conveyor systems, and packaging machinery. They can also be used in applications where there are high levels of contamination, as the bearings are often designed with seals or shields to protect the rolling elements from dirt and debris.

Features

Insert bearings are designed to have some features that make them well-suited for use in machinery and equipment applications. Here are some of the key features of insert bearings:

1. Versatile mounting options: Insert bearings can be mounted in a variety of ways, such as by using setscrews, eccentric locking collars, or adapter sleeves. This makes them easy to install and allows for some flexibility in terms of how they are attached to the shaft.

2. Spherical outer ring: The outer ring of an insert bearing is typically designed with a spherical shape. This allows for some misalignment between the shaft and the housing unit, which can help to reduce stress and wear on the bearing.

3. Lubrication options: Insert bearings can be lubricated in a variety of ways, such as with grease or oil. Some bearings may also have seals or shields to help protect against contamination and retain the lubricant.

4. Corrosion resistance: Insert bearings are often made from materials that are resistant to corrosion, such as stainless steel. This can be important in applications where the bearing may be exposed to moisture or other corrosive substances.

5. High load capacity: Insert bearings are designed to handle high radial and axial loads, making them well-suited for use in heavy-duty machinery and equipment applications.

Speification

August Insert Bearings have two categories: Metric and Inch

August Insert Bearings includes requiring maintenance (steel–on-steel) & maintenance-free.

Bore diameter is 4-200mm for metric dimensions, 0.19-4.75 inch for inch dimensions.

Different sliding contact surface combinations with inner rings and out rings can be made of different materials.

The structure is divided into two kinds: standard type and overloading, in addition, the inner ring with spherical, hemispherical and steps.
