Pre-Mounted - Glacier DU or DX steel backed bearings are pre-mounted in captive inner members Spherical seating allows non rotating inner members to accommodate shaft misalignments up to 15º Self-Aligning - Precise positioning and accurate alignment during installation are unnecessary

High Performance -
Excellent load carrying capacity eliminates edge loading thus allowing full use to be made of DU and DX performance

Long Life -
Proven characteristics of DU and DX are long life with minimum maintenance. Sealing is unnecessary in most applications.

Easy Assembly -
Working clearance of bearings on shaft eliminates press-fitting needed with some rolling element bearings

Economy -
A wide range of standard stock sizes is offered at low unit and low assembly costs. DU and DX materials ensure low operating costs.

Shaft Location -
A shaft collar or shoulder can provide axial location where necessary. If moderate thrust is expected standard Glacetal thrust washers can be included.

Standard Range-
Three types - Plummer (or pillow) block, Four bolt flange mounting . Two bolt flange mounting.

Ex-Stock -
Metric and Inch ranges available ex stock for nominal shaft diameters from 10mm to 100mm and 1/2" to 4".

Materials-
Standard bearing housings are made in grey cast iron. Other materials are available (See 'Specials') Bearings can be specified in DU or DX materials. according to requirement Both materials are supplied with pre-finished bores.

Selection-
As a general guide on selection. DU is a high performance dry-bearing material, used where lubricant is impracticable or undesirable. and where the operating temperature is between -200ºC and +280ºC. DX gives outstanding performance when greased on assembly only. Re-greasing at extended intervals prolongs performance indefinitely. DX is suitable for operating temperatures up to 120ºC.

Specials -
Pre-mounted self-aligning bearings other than the standards listed in this leaflet can be supplied to special order. more info

Variations from standard include: Bearings for shaft diameters over 100mm - Split housings to allow for assembly in awkward locations or to provide a greater length of bearing. Housings with provision for re-greasing (As an alternative. re-greasing can be through a shaft end drilling). Housing for special applications made in SG iron or corrosion resistant materials

Housing Loads -
Glacier plain bearing materials can be used in high load applications The maximum permissible loading for the bush. particularly at low rubbing speeds, may exceed that for the housing Where such conditions are likely to occur, design advice should be obtained
