Rex® Roller Bearings

Link Belt Power Transmission, Drives and Conveying Equipment

Rex® roller bearings represent 75 years of bearing technology and experience. Manufactured in Downers Grove, IL, in a state of the art facility, the bearings are untouched by human hands for the majority of the manufacturing process. The roller bearing design allows the inner race to misalign freely in any direction up to 1-1/2" from center, 5/16" per foot of shaft length.

The rollers are aligned by the retainers and the outer races, so despite misalignment the roller load is always equally distributed. This prevents high edge load stress on the rollers, which in turn means that it is not necessary to derate Rex Bearings for misalignment conditions. By design, Rex Bearings accept both radial and thrust loads under static, oscillatory, or dynamic conditions. The load is taken on the roller raceways, not the roller ends. This means that when thrust loaded up to their allowable limit, Rex® roller bearings do not exhibit roller end wear.

Rex® roller bearings are available in multiple housing styles: pillow blocks, flange blocks and take-ups and with a variety of seals

Rex® Duralon® Bearings

Duralon® bearings are self-lubricating, with a woven Teflon® fabric liner, backed by filament-wound fiberglass and epoxy resins, designed to withstand the demanding loads and speeds of a wide variety applications - from construction and coal mining equipment to packaging and food processing.

Link-Belt® Ball Bearings

Series 200 standard duty ball bearings provide a variety of application arrangements for carrying shafts with radial or combination radial and thrust loads. They are designed for general purposes, industrial machinery, conveyors, chain and belt drives, fans and blowers, power transmission, and many others.

Series 300 Heavy Duty Ball Bearings have heavy series precision alignable ball bearings of deep groove construction with larger balls and thicker rings for high capacity and longer life. The extra inner ring width furnishes ultimate shaft and load support and concentricity for high speed precision applications.

Link-Belt® Collar Mounted Spherical Roller Bearings

Series B22400 Spherical Roller Bearing Units and Take-ups

Series B22400 collar mounted spherical roller bearing units provide economic and versatile arrangements for supporting shafts carrying substantial radial or combination radial and thrust loads. These units are especially adaptable for conveyors, elevators, general industrial machinery, heavier duty fans and blowers, power transmission applications, trenchers, pavers and other such applications. Series B22400 units are easy to mount, sealed, prelubricated and do not require bearing adjustment during mounting.

Series B22500 Spherical Roller Bearing Units

Series B22500 double collar mounted spherical roller bearing units will support shafts carrying substantial radial and thrust loads. These units are adaptable for conveyors, elevators, general industrial machinery, heavier duty fans and blowers, power transmission applications, trenchers, pavers and other applications. They differ from the series B22400 units in that they have two locking collars and the pillow blocks have higher backing and longer bolt centers. Series B22500 units are easy to mount, sealed, prelubricated and do not require bearing adjustment during mounting.

Max Mount™ Series B22600 Spherical Roller Bearing Units

Series B22600 adapter mounted spherical roller bearing units will support shafts carrying substantial radial or combination radial and thrust loads. These units are adaptable for conveyors, elevators, general industrial machinery, heavier duty fans and blowers, power transmission applications, trenchers, pavers, and other applications. They differ from series B22400 & B22500 units in that they have a tapered adapter mounting system. Series B22600 units are easy to mount, sealed, prelubricated and do not require bearing adjustment during mounting.

 Link-Belt® Corrosion-Resistant Bearings

Link Belt Power Transmission, Drives and Conveying Equipment

Link-Belt® bearings stand up to repeated high pressure washdowns without peeling, chipping or flaking. So clean-ups are faster, maintenance easier and downtime less expensive. Choose from three lines of superior corrosion-resistant bearings to fit your application:

  • Nickel Plated Ball Bearing Units - rugged construction fits a variety of applications. Available in shaft sizes 1/2" to 2-7/16".Dura-Klean™ 

  • Non-Stick Nylon Coated Bearings - exclusive non-porous coating offers unmatched cleanability and durability. Available in shaft sizes 3/4" to 1-15/16"

  • Klean-Guard™ bearings - tough polymide housings with auxiliary caps and seals for the ultimate in bearing protection. Available in shaft sizes 3/4" to 1-1/2".

 Link-Belt® Cylindrical Bearings

Metric series cylindrical roller bearings are manufactured to ABMA boundary dimensions. These bearings require minimum space and provide maximum rated capacity. Various configurations including separable inner or outer ring combinations offer ample application flexibility.

  • Rings of high quality bearing steel for strength, toughness and durability

  • Micro finished raceways assure smooth operations.

  • Exclusive honed crown on roller profile for optimized raceway contact area and high capacity.

  • Structural design segmented retainer provides high strength, positive roller spacing and guidance.

  • One-piece formed steel retainer provides positive roller spacing and controlled roller guidance.

  • Polymeric retainer of glass fiber reinforced nylon 6/6 provides full roller guidance, superior lubrication and reduced noise.

Adapter Mounted Spherical Roller Bearings

Self aligning spherical roller bearing pillow blocks and take-ups provide high load carrying capacity for radial or combination radial and thrust loads. They are designed for use on conveyors, dryers, road building equipment, runout tables, fans, crushers, hammer-mills and many other other high precision, heavy-duty applications. Spherical roller bearings may be direct or adapter mounted. Housings have provision for fixed or expansion mounting.

Sleeve Bearings

Rigid sleeve bearing units provide compact and reliable usage in applications where continuous operation and uninterrupted service is required. Because the bearing material wears gradually, sudden breakdowns are minimized. Sleeve bearings can also operate extremely quietly. The standard bearing materials of babbitt, bronze and cast iron will handle a wide variety of applications such as on log decks, sewage treatment equipment, furnaces and ovens, quiet operating fans and blowers, power plant dampers and strokers, oscillating shaft applications and other general conveying and power transmission machinery.
