Emerson Bearing Boston Offers Secondary Sealing System for Type E Units

Emerson Bearing Boston, a bearing company catering to Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) and Maintenance, Repair and Operations (MRO) markets around the world, now offers a secondary sealing system for Type E Housed Units which better withstands harsh environments, protects against contamination and moisture, and provides improved life.

Machine tool applications require bearings that are designed for rigid, high speed, high precision machine tool spindles. Type E Units provide a combination of high radial and thrust loads. For extra protection and to increase uptime in severely contaminated and wet environments, Emerson Bearing has expanded their line to include the multi-point sealing system – the TIMKEN® Type E Tapered Roller Bearing Housed Unit Secondary Sealing System. 

The system has a rugged cover that protects against contamination (particularly in industries where particulates are an issue) and upgraded abrasion-resistant, triple-barrier internal seal for harsh and/or dirty applications. Type E Secondary Sealing Systems are available in the full range of units from 13/16” to 5” and 35 mm to 100 mm. 

“The Type E Mounted Unit is widely used in heavy duty applications and the add-on of a secondary seal has broadened the range of applications where customers can get improved life,” explained Steve Katz, president. “At Emerson Bearing, Type E units are among our top sellers for their cost-effective, efficient design.”

Type E Pillow Blocks and More

At Emerson Bearing, we offer various types of mounting units well-suited to a range of heavy-duty applications. Pillow block mounted units are ideal for smaller loads and less rigorous applications. Flange block mounted units are held in place by two or four bolts, and it is the four-bolt design that can take larger loads and is typically employed for heavy-duty applications. Hanger blocks are almost always used for conveyor belts, and are made of well-lubricated split roller bearings that are housed together and can be hung from a conveyor.

Machine Tool Division

Bob Piracini, Senior Marketing Specialist leads Emerson Bearing’s Machine Tool division. Emerson Bearing’s knowledgeable Machine Tool team assists clients in determining which bearing technologies would be most suitable by taking into consideration the specifications, recommendations, maintenance strategies, fatigue life and wear resistance of the bearing in relation to the application.

Katz continued, “We have a sourcing network that spans the globe, and our experts can assist in the selection of the right bearing for its specific application and requirements to ensure superior performance and avoid costly pitfalls and downtime.”

Emerson Bearing Boston Announces Expanded Oil Seal Line

Emerson Bearing Boston, a bearing company catering to Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) and Maintenance, Repair and Operations (MRO) markets around the world, announces an expanded line of Oil Seals, specifically, Bearing Isolators.

Emerson Bearing’s expanded line includes Garlock brand isolator-style oil seals, which areavailable in metal and non-metal materials, feature a single-piece design, and do not place excessive stress on shafts. Isolator-style oil seals provide an ideal solution for severe applicationsand are easier to install than inch measurement oil seals and metric oil seals.

Steve Katz, president of Emerson Bearing explained, “Essentially, oil seals close the spaces between stationary and moving parts in order to reduce the risk of lubricant release. They are used in various manufacturing applications, including those found in automotive manufacturing, engine manufacturing, off-highway jobs, oil refineries, and power transmission.”

Oil seals are critical components that help keep equipment from breaking down, and allow production equipment to better withstand severe environments. Oil seals help ensure consistent, reliable operation without the risk of damage from leaks.

Isolator-style oil seals provide outstanding protection, including high abrasion resistance as well as excellent chemical temperature resistance.For example, Isolators may be used to provide electric motor bearings with an extra layer of protection against contaminants.

Katz continued, “With the wide range of oil seals available on the market, our bearing team can provide the expert guidance needed when searching for the ideal oil seal. No matter how unusual or complex the application, Emerson Bearing will find a solution for the customer’s exact needs.”

Emerson Bearing Boston Forms New Division as Plastics Processing Heats Up

EB_logo2C_tagline_5in

Due to increased demand nationwide, Emerson Bearing Boston, a supplier of bearings and related products catering to Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) and Maintenance, Repair and Operations (MRO) markets around the world, has created a special division to cater to the plastic processing and forming industry. 

In the U.S., the plastics industry is the third largest manufacturing industry and there are more than 16,200 plastics facilities, according to SPI, the plastics industry trade association. Emerson Bearing’s growing plastics clientele spans the nation and includes manufacturers of plastic wine corks, plastic bags, plastic strapping and other products.

Emerson Bearing’s industry specialist, Bill Zylicz, leads the dedicated plastics division. The company caters to plastic processing and forming manufacturers across the U.S. in two major categories – extruder and injection molding machines. In an extruder, the processed plastic is pressed through a nozzle into a profiled die. The extruder gearbox is subject to high torques as well as high radial and axial loads. Injection molding machines are used for the production of parts in large quantities. The screw feed and the linear bearings must be insensitive to heat and vibration and have high basic static and dynamic load ratings.

When it comes to supplying bearings to the plastic processing and forming industry, ensuring that the bearings are able to withstand heat and vibration is just part of the equation. Zylicz assists clients in determining which bearing technologies would be most suitable by taking into consideration the specifications, recommendations, maintenance strategies, fatigue life and wear resistance of bearings in relation to the application. 

“In order to keep with production schedules, regular monitoring, maintenance and replacement of bearings is critical,” said Steve Katz, president of Emerson Bearing. “Manufacturers turn to us for our expertise, competitive pricing and overall reliability. We offer a vast inventory and 24/7 service, which helps them avoid costly down-time.”
