BOWMET

BOWMET expansion split cylindrical roller bearings (ESC series) allow axial movement of the shaft relative to the housing, which accommodates thermal expansion and contraction. Fixed split cylindrical roller bearings (FSC and FSCP series) provide axial location, restricting shaft movement in both directions. Both types use a split design for installation around an existing shaft. Selection depends on whether the bearing position must allow axial displacement or hold the shaft in place. Expansion bearings are typically used at non-locating positions, while fixed bearings are used at locating positions.

The BOWMET split cylindrical roller bearings supplied by 3G Electric include bore diameters from 40 mm to 140 mm. Specific examples include 40 mm (BSBA M40 ESC), 50 mm (BSBA M50 FSCP), 70 mm (BSBA M70 FSCP), 80 mm (BSBA M80 FSCP), 90 mm (BSBA M90 ESC), 115 mm (BSBA M115 FSCP), 135 mm (BSBA M135 FSC), and 140 mm (BSBA M140 FSC). Outside diameters range from 84.14 mm to 466 mm. The catalog contains 268 SKUs, covering additional sizes and configurations. Bearing industry numbers such as 108, 200, 300, 308, 408, and 508 indicate dimensional series and load ratings.

Bearing industry numbers such as 308, 300, 408, and 508 are standardized identifiers that relate to dimensional series and load capacity. For BOWMET split cylindrical roller bearings, these numbers help cross-reference the bearing to other manufacturers' equivalents and ensure dimensional interchangeability. The number typically indicates the series and size code, but it does not specify the split configuration or expansion/fixed type. When ordering, provide the full BOWMET model number (e.g., BSBA M90 ESC) along with the industry number to ensure the correct bearing is supplied.

BOWMET split cylindrical roller bearings in the 3G Electric catalog feature steel rings and nylon cages. The steel rings provide structural strength and resistance to radial loads. Nylon cages are used to separate and guide the rollers, offering low friction and resistance to common industrial lubricants. This material combination is typical for split bearings where the cage must also be split or flexible for installation. The bearings are designed for heavy radial loads in industrial machinery such as conveyors, fans, and mixers.

The split design allows the bearing to be installed or replaced without removing the shaft or dismantling adjacent components. The bearing halves are placed around the shaft and secured in the housing. This reduces downtime and labor compared to solid bearings, which require shaft removal. BOWMET split cylindrical roller bearings are used in applications where access is limited or where shaft removal is impractical, such as large conveyors, fans, and process equipment. The split also simplifies inspection and replacement during scheduled maintenance.
