Main bearings are the bearings on which the crankshaft rotates. The main bearing firmly holds the crankshaft in place and therefore halts the forces created by the piston and transmitted to the crankshaft by the connecting rods from dislodging the crankshaft. This action instead forces the crank to convert the movement into rotation. The heavy wall main bearing contains a heavier wall in order to withstand greater pressure/force.
Standard bearings can wear out fast under heavy stress, which leads to downtime and expensive repairs. That’s where heavy-duty bearings make the difference. They handle higher loads and tougher conditions without giving in. Our heavy wall bearings add the strength and stability that demanding applications require. They provide the smooth, reliable operation that keeps machinery running day after day. The right choice means longer service life and fewer maintenance headaches.
Quad Industries produces heavy wall bearings that deliver the strength and stability required for demanding equipment. We engineer and machine each bearing in-house to meet strict specifications so it performs reliably under high loads.
