Fixed type bearings (GR)

The outer race of the fixed (GR) bearing has shoulders integral with the roller track, while the inner race assembly performs the same function by means of hardened shoulders on the clamping rings or similar integral shoulders.

The prime purpose of this type of bearing is to axially locate the rotating portions of the machinery or equipment taking radial and thrust loads.

The inner race halves are accurately aligned by means of fitted clamping rings.

GR bearing (C type)
01 and 02 Series over 12”/300mm shaft size and 03 Series over 6”/155mm shaft size.

Expansion type bearings (EX)

The expansion (EX) bearing has a plain outer race roller track.This bearing takes radial load only.

The inner race is clamped to the shaft, moves and axially when expansion or contraction occurs.

The Cooper expansion bearing offers virtually no resistance to axial movement as the rollers spiral across a flat section outer race

EX bearing (C type)
01 and 02 Series over 12”/300mm shaft size and 03 Series over 6”/155mm shaft size.
