Bespoke

Cooper frequently supplies special and customised bearings and housings. Customisations range from minor modifications, such as special holes for mounting instruments, to complete custom bearings and housings.

We have designs and tooling for many products that are not shown on this website and may suit your application. If not, we are able to design special units as required.

If you do not find a bearing or housing that meets your requirements here, our technical department will be pleased to advise on a suitable product.

A selection of special products is illustrated above.

A further option, where the bearing centre needs to be closer to the mounting face, is the 'flat flange'. Electric motors, where the flat flange is used to enclose the end of the motor housing as well as support the bearing, are a good example.

Although the unit cannot be disassembled in a completely radial direction, by providing a sufficiently large aperture in the mounting face it is still possible to inspect and replace the bearing without disturbing the shaft.

To specify a flat flange please contact our technical department for details.

Flanges are common between expansion (EX) and fixed (GR) units. Where flat flanges are used on electrical equipment single lipped (GROSL) bearings are often specified.
