Mounted unit housings are available in either reinforced PBT thermoplastic or 304 stainless steel. All Sentinel Series housings are designed with solid bases, smooth cavity-free surface finish, and grooves for open or closed covers.

Regardless of your industry type, NTN offers a diverse series of mounted bearing units to fit your application. Whether for mining, construction, or food processing, NTN has the solution for your industry.

Sentinel Series is available in inch and metric bore sizes ranging from ½”up to 2-7/16″ (12mm to 60mm).  Bearing inserts are designed with an AISI 302 stainless steel riveted cage which not only helps avoid hydrolysis from cleaning agents, but also allows NTN to offer either premium H1 grease or our proprietary H1 solid lubricant. Our food-grade solid lubricant is perfect for wash-down applications .

Premium Materials - To ensure a smooth surface, free from defects, burrs, and cracks, all bearing housings are manufactured with polyamides for added impact toughness and age resistance.

Using a combined elastomeric seal in tandem with NTN’s outer flinger design, each Ultra-Class mounted unit exhibits a fan-like mechanism that keeps particles from getting near the inner ball bearing and raceways, reducing wear and corrosion. Maintenance-free options with solid lubricant and NSF food grade grease are also available.

The Bower Type E bearing unit is one-piece sturdy cast iron housing with elongated mounting slots featuring a spherical roller bearing insert that allows for +/- 2 degrees of misalignment. Bower Type E units also feature a set screw locking collar, machined brass retainer, double-lip heavy contact seal with metal shield, and an extended inner ring. Bower Type E units are available in sizes ranging from 1 7/16” to 4 15/16” pillow blocks and either 2-bolt or 4-bolt configurations.

The reliable performance and durable construction of NTN’s Standard/Green Lines Series bearings makes them a smart solution for practically all types of common applications. Green Line units’ unmatched selection of housing styles, insert types as standard makes it NTN’s tried and true Mounted Ball Bearing Unit Series.

The wheel hub assembly on your vehicle is responsible for keeping your wheel attached to your vehicle and allowing the wheel to turn smoothly and freely. The wheel hub is mounted between the drive axle and brake drums/disks. It contains metal bearings for smoother rotation. The studs that your brake rotors/drums and wheel attach to are located on the wheel hub which is bolted to the steering knuckle or axle. In ABS-equipped vehicles, the ABS sensor is usually located on the wheel hub.

Available in metric and inch sizes, Ultra-Class units are made from heavy-duty, solid-cast housings and robust steel cages for optimal load & shock stability. The Ultra-Class line features pillow blocks, two-bolt and four-bolt flange housings. These units are fully assembled, factory sealed and pre-lubricated for easy installation.

Green Line units are available in both metric and inch shaft sizes throughout our set screw, eccentric, and adapter sleeve inserts. With bore sizes range from ½” to 4”, the Green Line is a highly versatile and industry interchangeable product line.

Bad wheel hubvs bearing

When a wheel hub starts to fail, it can make a variety of different noises you can sometimes feel in your steering wheel or pedals as well. Since the wheel hub bearings are constantly turning while you are driving, vibrations and noises will be present only while driving. You can expect one or more of the following symptoms when dealing with a bad wheel hub:

NTN provides several heavy-duty mounted units designed specifically to accommodate the rigors of applications within construction, mining, and other large-scale equipment applications. NTN’s SAF (inch dimensions) and SNC (metric dimensions) series are two-part bearing housings offering a heavy-duty solution that simplifies mounting and maintenance of the units. Combined with precision-made, self-aligning roller bearings, these units offer significant benefits in terms of service life and running behavior. With a variety of sealing systems available, the two-part bearing-housing setup provides a versatile, modular approach to mounted-unit design, offering technically and economically viable solutions for almost any application. Complete units are provided with all necessary hardware for installation and maintenance, providing you with an out-of-the-box solution that minimizes downtime and is backed by NTN’s commitment to quality.

It is possible to drive with a bad wheel hub and many vehicles on the road currently have a failing wheel hub. While you can drive with a failing wheel hub, it is not recommended to do so for a long period of time. Over time, the wheel hub can separate or completely seize, causing your wheel to be unable to move. This can be a dangerous situation when driving, so if you are experiencing any of the symptoms above, have your vehicle inspected as soon as possible.

The cast iron bearing housing is designed to provide you maximum strength in even the toughest applications. With this strength, the ability to allow for misalignment of +/- 2° and relubrication capability, you just can’t go wrong.

How to tell whichwheelbearing isbadwhile driving

Having a wheel hub replaced at your local reputable shop is going to run about $265-$347 to replace a wheel bearing, according to RepairPal. However, you can save a little money by doing it yourself, and using high-quality wheel hubs from GSP Latin America. These wheel hubs are some of the best hubs you can buy as they are manufactured for longevity and easy installation.

Featuring NTN’s exclusive ball-point set screw design, the Ultra-Class™ black-oxide plated insert provides 120° screw orientation to provide superior alignment and centering compared to typical 90° configurations. The semi-retractable, ball-point mechanism’s excellent tightening torque characteristics allow 7.5x longer set screw retention life vs. cup point set screws, all without damaging to the shaft or mounting surface.

These symptoms can be caused by other failing suspension components, so have your car properly diagnosed by a licensed mechanic.
