Boot Bearing
Boot bearing assemblies designed to support and guide the boot shaft in chain and belt bucket elevators. These assemblies are critical in maintaining shaft alignment, rotational smoothness, and ensuring mechanical integrity in the dusty and high-load environment at the elevator’s base.
We offer ready-to-fit bearing blocks and matching bushings, tailored for specific shaft diameters and load classes—compliant with demanding operating conditions in cement, mining, steel, and thermal power sectors.
Assembly Overview
Each boot bearing assembly typically includes:
Component | Function |
Bearing Block Housing | Structural support for shaft, bolted to elevator base plate; includes bore for bush |
Bronze or cast steel Bearing Bushing | Precision insert that supports shaft rotation and absorbs wear |
Dust & grease seals (optional) | Protects bearing bore from contaminants, enhances lubrication retention |
Base Plate and Bolting Set | Mounting hardware pre-aligned for bolt-on installation on elevator casing |
Technical Features (As per CMECH Design)
Bearing Block (CBB Series)
- Machined from high-strength cast steel or fabricated alloy steel plate
- Supplied with pre-drilled and tapped mounting holes, face machined for flatness
- Designed for easy access and fast replacement during shutdowns
- Available sizes:
- CBB 18-4: Shaft housing Ø52 mm, Load capacity up to 700 kg
- CBB 18-11: Shaft housing Ø55 mm, Load capacity up to 1200 kg
Bearing Bush
- Replaceable bushing made from cast or alloy steel
- Fine surface finish on ID (inner diameter) ensures minimal friction and smooth shaft rotation
- Double-step seating design (Q & R dimensions) for secure fit and easy extraction
- Precision matched to block and shaft journal — available in sizes to match 52–55 mm shaft diameters
Performance & Application Benefits
Feature | Advantage |
Anti-Friction & Self-Cleaning Geometry | Mitigates dust ingress and reduces the need for frequent maintenance |
Compact Footprint | Fits even in restricted elevator pit areas with zero compromise on load capacity |
Fully Machined Seating & Centreline Matching | Guarantees parallel alignment and vibration-free operation at high speeds |
