Applications

Cooper split roller bearings are proved in service every day throughout the world across a wide range of industries.

Preferred by leading companies in over forty countries, Cooper reliability keeps the wheels of industry turning in some of the world's harshest industrial environments. The ability to fit Cooper in trapped application and limited access locations is one of the major factor in specifying Cooper.

Marine

Specified for use on supertankers to hydrofoils, Cooper bearings play an important role around the sea lanes of the world. In an industry where down time means missed tides and lost cargoes, the worldwide availability, flexibility, speed of installation and ease of maintenance has made the Cooper bearing the first choice of marine engineers around the globe.

Iron and steel

Widely used in almost every stage of steel production from ore terminals to finishing mills, blast furnace main charging conveyors to continuous casters, the split feature of the Cooper bearing has enabled designers of iron and steel manufacturing equipment to design for optimum performance without the need to consider bearing installation or replacement.

Designed to operate reliably and continuously over long periods in extremes of temperature, Cooper bearings are ideally suited to the harsh environment of steel production and assist in keeping downtime costs to a minimum by allowing the operation of non-disruptive preventative maintenance programs.

Mining

Specified globally for underground and surface mining applications, Cooper bearings are ideally suited where accessibility is severely limited. Special cages are available where conventional materials are unsuitable.

Widely used on conveyors, ventilation fans and winding gears, Cooper bearings are renowned for their ability to operate reliably and efficiently for prolonged periods in dust laden atmosphere. Surface mining equipment OEM's have also specified Cooper bearings for use on their large machines.

Air movement

Easy to install, even in the most confined areas, Cooper Bearings have unrivaled expertise in the world of ventilation and air movement.

Cooper bearings have the added advantage of allowing any misalignment to be taken up at the assembly stage. Our technical department has perfected accurate manufacturing tolerances to reduce to a minimum the problems caused by out of balance conditions.

Cement

The harsh, abrasive, dust laden conditions encountered in cement production are one of the world's severest industrial environments.

The number one choice for cement companies around the world, the Cooper bearings' split feature, legendary reliability and proven sealing characteristics play a key role in keeping downtime to a minimum. Applications include: conveyors, ball mill drives, preheater grates, fans and coal mills.

Power generation

Cooper split roller bearings have been extensively used for many years in the power generation industry. In this industry, in particular, downtime is cost critical and Cooper bearings are specified in coal fired power stations, hydropower plants and wind turbines.

The combination of excellent sealing and instant access makes Cooper a tough product to beat.

Quarrying

Downtime cost are critical in quarrying and Cooper bearings are widely used by most aggregate and quarry operators.

Preferred for ease of installation and inspection and their ability to operate reliably in dust laden conditions while requiring only minimum maintenance, the Cooper bearing continues to prove invaluable in the tough environment on applications such as conveyors, screens and crushers.

Conveyor systems

Accessibility in trapped applications and ease of inspection in the harshest of environments, make Cooper the first choice for conveyors.

No matter what the industry, Cooper has a range of proven conveyor bearings. Our conveying experience ranges from keeping nearly three million Londoners on the move every day on London Transport escalators, one of the busiest mass transit systems in the world, to the daily grind in a quarry to the versatility of ship loaders.

Easy of inspection and maintenance makes the Cooper bearing the ideal choice for any application.
