The replacement of non-split spherical roller bearings requires a great deal of additional work (e.g. dismantling of gears or couplings, dismantling of the transmission and dismantling of the shaft power unit). The use of split spherical roller bearings reduces the downtime of machines and equipment, so the use of split spherical roller bearings has become an ideal choice. 
Cost savings
Split spherical roller bearings can significantly reduce installation costs due to reduced downtime. 
In the new design, split spherical roller bearings offer cost savings in most cases due to the simplification of equipment and the reduction of assembly work required. 
Application examples
Split spherical roller bearings are mainly used for shafts supported by several points and positions that are difficult to access. Typical applications include conveying equipment, material handling equipment, ventilation equipment, steel rolling, marine and papermaking.
Examples of applications in the field of mining and materials processing:
Bucket wheel excavators and reclaimers
Winch pulleys
Pot rod conveyor
Bucket pulleys and belt conveyors
Mixing and mixing equipment
Mills and crushers
Sintering equipment, drum cellar
Fans and ventilators
Dust removal equipment
Transmission and drive shaft
