Conveyor & power transmission bearings — plus the full industrial range for your plant
Pillow block, take-up, spherical roller and tapered roller bearings for belt conveyors, bucket elevators, roller conveyors and power transmission running under heavy load, dust and 24/7 operation — selected by seal and load rating for the position they fit.
Each application page lists the bearing types that fit that machine and site — from mining and port terminals to cement, aggregates, grain handling and logistics warehouses. Open one to see the matching product categories.

View productsMost early bearing failures on conveyors trace back to a seal or series that does not suit the site. The table links each condition to its typical failure cause and the seal and load direction we work from when selecting a replacement.
| Condition | Common failure cause | Seal direction | Load direction |
|---|---|---|---|
| Heavy dust | Fine particles pass the seal, contaminate the grease and wear the raceway. | Multi-lip or labyrinth seals; a triple-lip seal where standard seals keep failing. | Check that the unit series still covers the load once dust builds up on the frame and idlers. |
| Wet / washdown | Water gets in, the lubricant washes out and the bearing corrodes. | Contact seals built to keep water out; housings and inserts chosen for wet duty. | Keep the rating margin. Corrosion pitting cuts service life under the same load. |
| Heavy load | The series is too light for the shaft load, so the bearing spalls early or the housing cracks. | Keep the seal that suits the environment. Load does not change seal choice. | Move to a heavier series or spherical roller pillow block and flange units. |
| 24/7 continuous duty | Heat builds up, the grease breaks down and there is no stop for relubrication. | Seals that hold lubricant in over long running periods. | Size the load rating for continuous running so the bearing lasts to the next planned shutdown. |
Each position on a belt conveyor loads its bearing differently. Pulley shafts, drive shafts, take-ups and gear stages each need their own bearing type, seal and housing.
01 02 03 04 Send photos and the bolt spacing. We match an old pillow block or flange unit to a direct replacement.
Tapered roller or spherical roller bearings in pillow block or flange housings. Confirm shaft diameter, housing type and the seal for material spillage around the pulley.
Spherical roller bearings for heavy-duty drives. Check the load rating against belt tension and continuous running, and leave room for shaft misalignment.
Take-up bearing units for belt tensioning. Match the mounting dimensions to the existing frame, not just the bore, so the unit fits when it arrives.
Tapered roller bearings for combined radial and axial load in gear stages. Supplied with the locking parts, adapter sleeves and seals the position needs.
Maintenance supervisors start from the failure record, reliability engineers from load and seal, and buyers from part number and lead time. We prepare information for all three.
Full Bearing Range Company helps select the bearing, choose the housing and get the installation right, with the goal of longer maintenance intervals and less unplanned downtime.
Conveyor bearings and general plant bearings ship together: deep groove, angular contact, thrust and precision bearings, linear motion parts, housings, sleeves, seals and lubricants. One supplier for the whole shutdown list.
We replaced all the pillow block units on our main aggregate conveyor with upgraded-seal bearings from this supplier. After six months of dusty operation, not a single unit has failed. We also source our general plant bearings from them now — one supplier for everything.
Our port terminal runs belt conveyors 24/7 and also needs bearings for pumps, motors and workshop equipment. This supplier covers all of it in one order. The conveyor specialist knowledge plus full product range is exactly what we needed.
We had a repeated failure on a take-up bearing position. Their engineer suggested a heavier unit with a triple-lip seal. We installed it three months ago and it is still running cool. They also supplied all the other bearings we needed for the shutdown.
Answers for maintenance teams, engineers and buyers sourcing conveyor and transmission bearings from Full Bearing Range Company.
Yes. Send the machine type, bearing position, shaft size, mounting style and operating conditions. We select from our conveyor, transmission and full industrial bearing range to fit, including pumps, motors and workshop equipment.
Send the conveyor position, bearing or unit part number, shaft diameter, bolt spacing or mounting method, operating environment and quantity. If the part number is missing, attach photos and mounting dimensions. WhatsApp or email both work.
Yes. When the current spec keeps failing, we propose an upgrade: a better seal, a heavier series, or both. Nothing changes until you approve it.
Yes. Conveyor units, transmission bearings and general plant bearings are quoted together and ship in the same consignment. You get tracking details and export documents, with one supplier for the whole shutdown list.
Tell us where the bearing sits and what it runs in. Full Bearing Range Company confirms the part number, seal configuration and fit for the duty, then sends a written quotation with stock status, lead time and shipping terms.
