Split roller beaings from Revolvo
2nd Quarter 2012
Electrical switching & drive systems & components
OE Bearings has established itself as the market leader for split roller bearings in South Africa as a result of its successful partnership with major UK manufacturer, Revolvo. The company is the only supplier of non ISO-sized SN SD split plummer block bearings. These are manufactured by Revolvo especially for the South African market.
OE Bearings serves the huge commodity sectors that dominate South African industry, examples being copper, platinum and gold. In these time-critical industries, the company has built its business on providing engineering service, product selection, application engineering and fitting and commissioning services, together with comprehensive local stocks of Revolvo split roller bearings.
The J Series of bearings provides an answer where users need the load capacity of a medium series (MS) split roller bearing, but only have a space envelope to accommodate a light series (LS) bearing. J series units offer all the practical benefits of the split bearing solution – quick and easy installation, reduced downtime, easy access, strength and durability – but in a more conventional sized envelope. Unlike competitor products that use inferior materials such as nylon in their bearing cages, the J series range does not compromise on quality. Customers benefit from the same high quality precision machined bored pocket brass cages and HT250 cast iron housings that have become the hallmark of Revolvo’s split roller bearing range.
