Bearings are among the hardest-working components in any homogenizer. They support the crankshaft, guide the connecting rods, enable smooth crosshead travel, and keep auxiliary shafts aligned. At BOS Homogenisers, we supply bearings for homogenizers from APV, Gaulin, GEA Niro Soavi, SPX, and other major manufacturers.
Types of Bearings Used in Homogenizers
Deep Groove Ball Bearings
The most versatile type. Handle both radial and moderate axial loads.
Cylindrical Roller Bearings
Significantly higher radial load capacity. Used at crankshaft main bearing positions.
Tapered Roller Bearings
Handle combined radial and axial loads. Often used in pairs to support crankshafts.
Needle Roller Bearings
High load capacity in compact radial space. Found at connecting rod positions.
Plain (Journal) Bearings
Soft metal shell around hardened steel journal. Rely on hydrodynamic oil film. See our article on oil filters.
Understanding Load Ratings
Dynamic Load Rating (C) and Static Load Rating (C0). L10 life formula: (C/P)^p x (1,000,000 / 60n).
Warning Signs of Bearing Failure
Increased vibration, unusual noise, elevated temperature, oil analysis results, visible damage.
