Standard housings. Special requirements. One engineering partner.
Custom Bearing Housings Built Around Your Application
When a standard housing does not fit the machine, send us the requirement. FRIENDS can evaluate special bearing housings from existing components, drawings or application parameters.
Engineering inputs
Start with whatever information you have.
Existing housing
Send designation, photographs and critical dimensions.
Bearing arrangement
Send bearing designation and shaft diameter.
Application
Tell us the environment, machine and mounting constraints.
Materials
Material options for different operating demands.
Grey Cast Iron
Established material for many standard industrial housings.
SG / Ductile Iron
Available where application requirements call for increased mechanical robustness.
Cast Steel
Available for selected severe-duty and special applications.
Final material selection must be confirmed during engineering review.
Pattern capability
In-house pattern development.
Special housings begin with control of the geometry. FRIENDS' pattern-development capability supports new housing designs, replacement requirements and repeat production.
