UNIT BEARING

Description

A unit bearing, also known as a cartridge bearing, is a type of bearing assembly consisting of a bearing and a housing unit that are pre-assembled and designed to be easily installed and replaced as a single unit.

Unit bearings are commonly used in applications where the bearing must support a rotating shaft, such as in automotive wheels, conveyor systems, and electric motors. They are typically sealed to prevent contamination and to retain lubrication, which helps to extend the bearing’s lifespan and reduce maintenance requirements.

Unit bearings are available in a variety of sizes and designs to accommodate different loads, speeds, and environmental conditions. They are generally considered to be a cost-effective and reliable solution for many rotating machinery applications.
