Sealmaster SC-32R Bearing Cartridge Unit with Set Screw Collar, Iron

Description

Product Overview

The Sealmaster SC-32R bearing cartridge unit is a precision‑engineered component designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern power transmission systems. Housed in a solid cast‑iron shell, this cartridge provides exceptional rigidity and resistance to wear, ensuring consistent performance even under heavy radial and combined thrust loads. The integrated set‑screw locking collar offers a secure, repeatable method for attaching the unit to a 2‑inch shaft, eliminating slippage and simplifying installation. Felt seals are incorporated to keep out dust, moisture, and other contaminants, extending the service life of the bearings and reducing the need for frequent maintenance. With a bore of 2 inches, an outer diameter of 4‑9/16 inches, and a width of 2‑1/32 inches, the SC‑32R fits a wide range of industrial machinery, from pumps and compressors to conveyors and gearboxes. Its design tolerates up to ±2 degrees of misalignment, providing flexibility in alignment without compromising load capacity.

Usage

Designed for use in heavy‑duty industrial environments, the SC‑32R excels in applications where reliability and durability are paramount. It is ideal for mounting on shafts that experience fluctuating loads, such as in chemical processing equipment, mining machinery, and high‑speed motor assemblies. The cartridge’s robust construction makes it suitable for operation in harsh conditions, including exposure to temperature extremes, vibration, and corrosive substances. Engineers and maintenance technicians appreciate the ease of installation: the set‑screw locking collar can be tightened with standard tools, allowing for quick replacement or adjustment without the need for specialized equipment. The unit’s compact dimensions enable integration into tight spaces, while its ability to accommodate slight misalignment reduces the risk of premature bearing failure. Whether retrofitting existing equipment or specifying new installations, the SC‑32R provides a dependable solution for shaft support and load distribution.
