The SEALMASTER SRC housing is a cartridge mounted bearing: the unit combines an insert bearing with a cylindrical housing that fits into a machined bore. It is used when the shaft needs support and the structure already has the bore for the cartridge, with no feet or flanges. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies this line in Buenos Aires, Argentina, for continuous process equipment.

The SRC series is identified by those three letters followed by a number indicating the unit size: SRC-8, SRC-10, SRC-12, SRC-14, SRC-15, SRC-16, SRC-18 and SRC-19. The number is not a shaft diameter or a housing dimension by itself: it is the size reference that must be cross-referenced with the manufacturer's table to know which shaft and which housing it corresponds to. Therefore, when ordering, it is best to provide the complete code exactly as it appears on the drawing or on the machine's nameplate.

These cartridges appear in belt and chain conveyors, bucket elevators, mixers, dryers, pumps and process equipment. In food, chemical, cement and aggregate processing plants in Argentina they are common because the cartridge mounts into an existing housing and allows replacing the unit without disassembling the entire structure. They are also found in packaging machines and grinding lines where the support must be protected from dust.

To properly select the SRC, verify the shaft diameter, the housing diameter and depth, and the insert locking type. Sealing is key: in dusty or wet environments, the version with a contact seal is recommended and, if washing occurs, with additional protection. Insert lubrication and housing alignment determine service life; a cartridge mounted crooked overloads the seal and the raceway. Follow the manufacturer's mounting instructions for axial adjustment.

Cartridge mounted bearings are available from several brands with their own nomenclatures. Interchangeability is not automatic: you must compare shaft diameter, outer diameter and cartridge width, insert locking system and sealing type. Often the housing is compatible between brands and only the insert changes. If you have another brand's code, send it to us along with the housing dimensions and we will indicate the compatible alternative.

If the equipment is down, send via WhatsApp the SRC code on the old unit, the brand and a photo of the housing. With that we will quote the SEALMASTER housing and, if needed, the equivalent alternative. MR Accesorios Industriales also manufactures split plummer block housings and pulleys, and supplies bearings, seals, bushings and lubricants to complete the replacement.
