Adapter bearings are mounted units designed for use in equipment where shafts are supported in frames or sheet metal surfaces. They combine a self-aligning bearing with seals, a mounting flange, and a shaft locking collar into a compact pre-lubricated, easily installable unit. Typical applications include overhead doors, gates in shopping malls, conveyor systems, packaging machines, and agricultural equipment.
