Replace a solid spherical roller bearing with a split bearing: Reuse existing housing and assemble the bearing radially around the shaft without disturbing ancillary equipment to reduce installation time by up to 90%.
Up to 35% more load carrying capacity: More rollers that are larger in size compared to competitors and separate axial thrust bearings significantly increase load carrying capacity.
Up to 25% longer operational life in high load applications: Significantly better load carrying capacity and 3D printed composite cages that prevent metal ingress and improve lubrication flow.
Extends the life of worn shafts: Patented triple labyrinth extended seal for extending the life of worn shafts and reducing downtime.
· 135 mm to 300 mm (5 3/16 in. to 12 in.) shaft diameters
· Replaces adapter-sleeve mounted bearings (eg CCK/W33 type)
· Incorporates additional sealing to protect bearing

REPLACE DRIVE SHAFT SOLID SPHERICAL BEARINGS IN UNDER THREE HOURS
Bowman International is a leading innovator of bearings and components. They have taken the world-renowned split bearing design and perfected it for high load applications like marine propulsion.
90% reduction in emergency downtime: For propulsion shaft bearing failures, Bowman will be showcasing the only split roller bearing capable of replacing a solid spherical roller bearing, the Bowman SN/SD/SAF.
Extend operational life by at least 25%: For new build and refurbishment vessels, Bowman will be showcasing its Advanced split roller bearing range. These high load capacity bearings contain separate axial thrust bearings for up to 35% more load carrying capacity.
