Floating bearings

The design compensates for thermal expansion of a shaft. The units are available for either the nonlocating bearing side or for the work end. Depending on the requirements, the bearings incorporate the sliding function in the bearing outer ring, with a choice of seals and collecting ducts for oil return. For the work end, preadjusted or adjustable integrated units accommodate temperature differences and heat dissipation.
