Bearings & Components for Chemical Processing Equipment
Chemical processing equipment is used to mix, transfer, process and handle materials throughout a wide range of manufacturing and production operations.
Bearings, seals, bearing housings, power transmission components and engineering products support rotating shafts, moving assemblies and mechanical systems across chemical processing machinery.
Operating conditions can vary considerably between processes, with machinery potentially exposed to heat, moisture, contamination and different chemical substances. Component materials, dimensions and operating requirements should therefore be carefully considered when selecting replacements.
Components Used in Chemical Processing Equipment
Bearings
Bearings support rotating shafts and moving components throughout pumps, mixers, processing machinery and associated production equipment.
Ball bearings, roller bearings and other bearing designs are available depending on load, speed, dimensions and operating requirements.
Use the existing bearing reference and accurate dimensions wherever possible when identifying a replacement.
Explore our range of bearings.
Bearing Housings & Inserts
Bearing housings and inserts provide mounted bearing solutions for rotating shafts across processing and production machinery.
Different housing styles, insert configurations, and sealing arrangements are available depending on shaft size, load, mounting requirements and operating conditions.
Explore our range of bearing housings and inserts.
Seals & O-Rings
Seals and O-rings help retain lubricants and fluids while protecting mechanical components against contamination and leakage.
Oil seals, rotary shaft seals and O-rings are available in different materials, profiles and dimensions to suit varying operating requirements.
Consider material compatibility where seals may come into contact with chemicals, fluids or elevated temperatures.
Explore our range of seals and O-rings.
Power Transmission Components
Belts, pulleys, chains, sprockets and couplings transfer mechanical power between motors, shafts and driven equipment.
Different configurations are available depending on the required speed, load, dimensions and transmission arrangement.
Regular inspection can help identify signs of wear, deterioration or misalignment before surrounding components are affected.

Fluid Power Components
Hoses, fittings and sealing solutions support hydraulic and pneumatic systems used throughout processing and production equipment.
Select replacement components for correct pressure, temperature, connection type, fluid compatibility and operating conditions.

Bushes & Engineering Components
Bushes and other engineering components support shafts, pins, pivots and mechanical assemblies throughout processing machinery.
Different materials and designs are available depending on load, movement, dimensions and the requirements of the surrounding assembly.

Maintaining Chemical Processing Equipment
Chemical processing machinery can operate for extended periods and may be exposed to contamination, moisture, temperature changes and demanding operating conditions.
During routine maintenance, inspect bearings and housings for excessive play, unusual noise, overheating or visible damage. Check seals for deterioration or leakage and inspect belts, chains, sprockets and other power transmission components for wear and correct alignment.
Where components come into contact with chemicals or process fluids, check that the selected materials are compatible with the substance and operating conditions involved.
Check lubrication requirements according to the equipment and component manufacturer's recommendations.
Always follow the relevant equipment manufacturer's inspection, maintenance, installation and safety procedures.
