The following bearings are designed for use in mobile cement mixer gearboxes. The bearings are mounted onto the main shaft of the gearbox and are offered in three basic designs: PLC 58-6, PLC 59-5, and PLC 59-10, all have awider outer ring, increasing the self-aligning ability of the bearing. These bearings are produced within ABEC 1 tolerance and have a C0 radial clearance.
The PLC 59-5 has a two-piece brass cage, which allows a higher operating temperature than other plastic cage
designs. The brass cage also offers complete compatibility with all synthetic lubricants.
The PLC 59-10 also has a two-piece brass cage and offers all the same design advantages as the PLC 59-5. This
bearing also has a high capacity design, which increases the dynamic and static load ratings. Both PLC 59-5 and
PLC 59-10 have a two-piece split outer ring, which allows for maximum rollers and a narrower inner ring.
The PLC 58-6 has a polyamide cage, which allows the bearing to be assembled so that the outer ring does not have
to be split into two pieces.
