With the first-of-its-kind angled support pedestal,
Timken® Revolvo Quick-Fit™ split cylindrical roller bearings now make installation easier
for change-outs where access is limited. The new design can reduce installation time up to 90 percent, and in many cases, one person can complete the
installation.
Timken launched
Quick-Fit housed units in Europe in 2015 for SN/SD configured housings, and is now introducing the line in North America with SAF-configured housings. First
produced by Revolvo in 2011, the angled pedestal eliminates the need to remove the drive and lift the shaft to replace a solid bearing or to replace the
support pedestal of a split bearing.
"Quick-Fit changes the game when it comes to replacing
bearings in challenging-to-reach locations," said Cory Shaw, manager of the housed units business, in a press release. "The outer support is split
at an angle, allowing it to be slid under the shaft during initial replacement. This makes retrofitting mounted bearing units much faster and easier in applications like fans, conveyors, crushers, kiln drives and
marine propulsion shafts."
The complete line of Revolvo split-to-the-shaft cylindrical
roller bearing housed units allows the bearing to be assembled around the shaft without requiring access to the shaft ends. Once installed, maintenance
personnel can easily remove support caps and housing components for quick visual inspection, saving maintenance time.
The seven concentric seal designs provide customized options to
meet the requirements of harsh environments. These units are designed to quickly reduce maintenance costs and increase plant profitability, Timken officials
said.
