AISI 316 Stainless Steel Mounted Bearing Units with Integrated Rotation Detection

Stop wasting time when fabricating custom sensor mounts. Extreme Bearing delivers heavy-duty AISI 316 Stainless Steel Mounted Bearing Units with built-in, wear-free rotation detection designed for severe conveyor belt environments.

Eliminate fragile DIY brackets and protect your sensor setup against high-pressure washdowns, aggressive chemicals, and mechanical impact. Consequently, you can choose standard 316 stainless steel housings or equip them directly for seamless speed monitoring, meaning you need no external modifications.

Eliminate Fragile DIY Sensor Brackets Permanently

Plant engineers and OEMs often weld custom brackets to mount inductive sensors near conveyor bearings. These exposed DIY setups misalign easily, fail during washdowns, and waste valuable engineering time.

Extreme Bearing solves this challenge at the source.

We engineer a raised AISI 316 stainless steel housing cover that securely encloses an internal target wheel. The sensor tracks target rotation directly inside the protected housing, delivering clean pulse data without exposed moving parts or external wiring.

3 Flexible Ways to Order We adapt to your facility’s exact engineering standards:

• Prepared for Your Own Sensor Standard (Threaded Hole Only): If you standardize sensor brands across your plant (such as IFM, Sick, Pepperl+Fuchs, or Balluff), we supply the complete bearing unit with the internal tone wheel and a custom threaded mounting hole (e.g., M12x1, M18x1). Consequently, you can simply screw in your preferred sensor.

• Complete Pre-Fitted Sensor Bearing Units: We deliver these units fully assembled with an integrated inductive proximity sensor, so you can connect them directly to your PLC or IoT control system.

• Open End Cap: This option works ideally for through-shaft conveyor designs where you need to monitor rotation without interrupting shaft continuity.

• Closed End Cap: Specifically designed for shaft-end locations, this cap delivers total, 360-degree sealing against aggressive chemicals, high-pressure washdowns, and abrasive contaminants while safely enclosing the rotation sensing mechanism.

• 100% Retrofittable: If you already use standard Extreme Bearing housings, you can upgrade to full rotation detection at any time. Furthermore, you only need to replace the cover rather than the entire bearing assembly.

Why Switch to Extreme Bearing Rotation Detection?

• Use Your Preferred Sensor Brand: Maintain plant standardization while eliminating external brackets. Specify your required thread size during ordering.

• No Exposed Brackets or Cables: Protect sensors and wiring from mechanical impact, high-pressure washdowns, and debris.

• Eliminate Unplanned Conveyor Downtime: Instantly detect belt slip, stall, or shaft breakage before catastrophic failure occurs.

• Monitor Hard-to-Reach Bearings: Safely track rotation speed on dangerous, enclosed, or elevated conveyor shafts without manual inspection.

• Save Engineering & Assembly Time: Stop measuring, cutting, and welding custom sensor brackets in-house.
