Almost every industry relies on bearings to keep operations running smoothly, but in the most extreme environments, standard units just won’t cut it. That’s where Type E bearings come in—engineered to perform reliably under harsh conditions, from heavy debris and moisture to high temperatures and corrosive chemicals.
One of the standout features of Type E bearings is their use of Timken Tapered Roller bearings as the rolling elements. These are designed to handle both heavy radial and thrust loads, making them ideal for demanding applications where performance and durability are critical.
At Emerson Bearing, Type E mounted units are among our most popular products due to their cost-effective design and long-lasting performance. The housing plays a key role in this success—built from strong materials like steel or cast iron, these units provide excellent protection and support, ensuring the bearing can operate efficiently over its entire lifespan.
Two Main Types of Units
Type E bearings are available in two primary configurations: standard style and split housing. Each offers unique advantages depending on the application requirements.
- Standard Type E Mounted Units — These units feature a solid, single-piece housing that’s built to last. They’re ideal for high-capacity applications and can be customized with specialty bearings that withstand temperatures up to 350°F. All units come pre-lubricated and fully assembled, making them ready to handle radial, thrust, and shock loads right out of the box.
They're commonly used in industries such as mining, water treatment, and industrial shredding, where reliability is essential. Their robust construction makes them a go-to choice when maximum strength is needed.
- Split Housing Type E Mounted Units — Designed for flexibility, split housing units consist of two separate parts, allowing for easier installation and maintenance. These units can accommodate misalignment of up to ±4°, making them perfect for applications where alignment may not be perfect. They also offer expansion designs for long linear shafts, ensuring optimal contact and performance.
Thanks to their drop-in replacement inserts, split housing units reduce downtime during maintenance, keeping the base fixed and aligned. Available in both iron and steel, they are well-suited for tough industries like marine, forestry, cement, and HVAC systems.
