Some bearings last longer than others. (Crafts, for example.) But in a heavy industry environment, all bearings eventually fail. Its simply a fact of life given the incredible stresses, punishing usage and operating conditions to which these integral components are subjected.
This unfortunate fact is what makes the Craft Split Bearing such an important innovation. True, its built to last longer than other bearings, split or not. But its greatest benefit comes not just with the ease and flexibility of initial installation, monitoring and maintenance on the bearing, but if there is a failure, the ease of replacement.
The bearing is split down to the shaft so that all components, even the seals, can be easily and quickly replaced. With its split design, replacing a bearing becomes a minor maintenance job as opposed to a major, potentially catastrophic event. Thats because it eliminates the need to remove shafts and drive components installed on the shaft, confining the scope of the repair to the bearing itself. Furthermore, in most cases, only the internal bearing components need to be replaced, and this can easily be done without even removing the pedestal.
While the benefits of a split bearing are dramatic, building and designing a reliable one was no easy task. Craft has become an industry leader in bearing design. In fact, Craft has been awarded patents on many innovative features.
With most orders being filled from their extensive and ever expanding inventory, same-day shipment is the norm at Craft. Because of this products many, varied applications, they manufacture standard, metric, large-bore and customized bearings. In further support of their customers, they offer complete technical support and rapid response to all inquiries.
