Advanced Split Roller Bearings
QUICK TO CHANGE. BUILT TO LAST.
The Advanced Split Roller Bearings from Bowman are engineered to maximise reliability, simplify maintenance, and improve performance in demanding industrial environments. Designed as high load split roller bearings, they incorporate a patented 3D printed cage split bearing design that delivers outstanding strength, superior durability, and significantly higher axial load capacity than conventional split bearing solutions. This innovative design enables every axial load split roller bearing to withstand demanding operating conditions while reducing maintenance time and unplanned downtime. As a trusted split cartridge bearing manufacturer, Bowman produces cartridges that are dimensionally interchangeable with those of major manufacturers, allowing seamless installation into existing pedestals and housings without costly modifications. Every heavy duty split roller bearing is engineered for fast installation, simplified replacement, and extended service life, making it ideal for mining, marine, power generation, quarrying, and heavy process industries. Backed by substantial global inventory and responsive technical support, Bowman ensures rapid worldwide delivery whenever replacement bearings are required.



Product Part Points - Cross Section and Features
Every component within Bowman’s SN SD SAF Split Roller Bearings has been engineered to simplify installation, reduce maintenance, and maximise equipment uptime. The precision-machined seating ring enables a direct spherical roller bearing replacement, allowing the bearing to fit seamlessly into existing SN, SD, and SAF plummer block bearing housings without costly modifications. The robust split cage is designed to maintain accurate roller guidance while allowing the bearing to be installed around the shaft, eliminating the need to dismantle adjacent equipment. High-performance seals protect internal components from dust, moisture, and contaminants while retaining lubrication to extend bearing service life in demanding environments. This innovative design makes every split bearing for existing pillow block installation faster, safer, and significantly more efficient than replacing conventional solid bearings. As a complete plummer block split bearing retrofit solution, the range helps maintenance teams minimise downtime, reduce labour costs, and improve reliability across mining, quarrying, marine, power generation, material handling, and other heavy industrial applications where fast bearing replacement is critical.
