Challenging Operating Conditions
IMPROVE PRODUCTIVITY AND REDUCE DOWNTIME
- Material weight/mass content allows for extended life cycles
- SAF series “Flat Top” pillow block design with screwdriver pry slots to assist with
cap removal - Compact MMW™ solid pillow block design to accommodate reduced footprint dimensions
- Comprehensive sealing technologies that retain lubricant internal to the bearing assembly and exclude foreign debris from entering the housing
MAINTAIN SAFETY
- Special “safety colors” available to identify rotational moving equipment
- Sealing technology to manage excessive lubricant on adjacent working surfaces
LOWER COSTS
- Advanced sealing technology keeps contaminants from prematurely damaging bearing assemblies and shafts while reducing lubricant usage
- Compatible industry interchangeability standards using a common nomenclature for mounting and shaft center heights
- Designs to minimize specific radial and shock loading situations

POWER GENERATION APPLICATIONS
Material Handling: Conveyors, Coal feeders, Stackers
These systems are used for moving the coal throughout the plant and are subject to severe dust and coal contamination, varying load conditions, climate conditions.
Crushers:
Though crushing methods vary, Standard Miether bearing housings continue to maintain system integrity by providing robust support for bearings and shafts exposed to extreme conditions.
Pulverizers are subject to heavy loads, varied climate conditions, and contamination. Standard Miether bearing housings and bearing seals help reduce maintenance and improve productivity.
Fans and air control:
Fan designs and systems are subject to a wide variety of operational conditions. Standard Miether bearing housings and bearing seals help sustain high levels of productivity while reducing maintenance downtime.
SOLUTIONS
