Engineered around the application
A bearing housing is more than a casting.
Housing selection depends on the bearing arrangement, shaft diameter, load, operating environment, lubrication, sealing system, material and mounting geometry. FRIENDS works from these parameters to identify a standard housing or develop a special solution.
Bearing arrangement
Bearing type, series and locating arrangement.
Operating environment
Dust, water, contamination and process conditions.
Housing material
Cast iron, SG iron or cast steel where specified.
Sealing system
Felt, V-ring, double-lip, labyrinth or heavy-duty arrangements where applicable.
Where accuracy starts
From pattern development onward.
Consistent castings begin with consistent patterns. FRIENDS maintains in-house pattern-development capability, helping control dimensional intent, accelerate new-product development and respond to customised bearing-housing requirements.
Controlled development
Patterns can be developed around housing geometry and application requirements.
Faster customisation
Customer drawings and special requirements can move rapidly into manufacturable designs.
Repeatability
Controlled patterns support consistent casting geometry across repeat production.
