bearing

[motorworks]

Hi
I am hoping someone may be able to help
I have a shaft on the end of a roller that is 100 mm
in diameter and I need a bearing/pillow block to fit it.
The problem is the area where the bearing goes is
8" wide by 8" high by 4" thick.
I have been throught most of the books and all are
too big.

Fairly heavy load,slow turning,near salt water and sea mud.
(sea wall roller on the back of a deep sea dragger)

We are now using SAE 660 bushings* in split blocks, but only getting 4-6 months out of the bushings

*bushing are 100 mm x 120mm x 95mm

take care
eddie

No thrust loads? If not, needle bearings are small for the radial loads they can handle. You may need to build your own housing for them though.
