Hanger Unit Bearings

Hanger Bearings. Hanger bearings provide adjustable support in high-vibration conditions such as screw conveyors. They consist of a bearing mounted in a round housing. This housing has either a threaded boss used to vertically mount the housing or a fixed swivel to align the bearing with the shaft.

Hanger bearings are used as rotational bearings for drive and screw-conveyor shafts. Typically, these industrial shafts are enclosed with a housing or conveyor trough. Hanger bearings are comprised of a split-roller bearing in a cast iron split-housing with a threaded boss that provides suspension for the conveyor cross-bracing.
