Screw Conveyor Spare Parts

Screw Conveyor Spare Parts

Direct-fit spare parts for screw conveyors limited to three items only: hanger bearings (intermediate), head bearings (drive/tail end), and gear reducers (gearmotors). Built to restore alignment, sealing, and torque so your line runs steady.

What these parts do

Keep the conveyor’s support and drive healthy: hanger bearings support long shafts between sections, head bearings carry end loads at drive/tail plates, and gear reducers set the correct speed/torque.

Key benefits

  • Drop-in replacements for tubular and U-trough conveyors

  • Quiet, low-vibration running after alignment is restored

  • Longer service life with the right bearing materials and correct reducer sizing

  • Minimal downtime thanks to matched bolt patterns and housings

Hanger Bearings (Intermediate)

  • Bushing materials: Bronze (general duty), UHMW (low friction/dry service), hard-iron (abrasive duty)

  • Styles: K-style and F-style, two- or three-bolt hangers

  • Features: replaceable bushings, serviceable pins/fasteners, grease fittings

  • Benefit: reduces shaft deflection on long conveyors; smoother, quieter operation

Head Bearings (Drive/Tail End)

  • Housing options: flanged plate or plummer-block; self-aligning variants available

  • Protection: dust caps and labyrinth/dust covers; accessible grease points

  • Fitment: bolt patterns matched to standard head/tail plates → easy swap-out

Gear Reducers (Gearmotors)

  • Types: helical or bevel gearmotor, direct-coupled or shaft-mounted

  • Selection: sized by kW/HP and output rpm to meet required capacity

  • Options: backstop (anti-reverse) and torque limiter; mounting bases and guards

Quick ordering checklist (only these three)

  • Hanger bearing: style (K/F), shaft diameter, bushing material (bronze/UHMW/hard-iron), hanger bolt spacing

  • Head bearing: housing type (flanged/plummer), shaft/journal size, bolt pattern, dust-cover requirement

  • Gear reducer: required kW/HP, output rpm, mounting style (direct/shaft-mounted), output shaft size, need for backstop/torque limiter

Applications

Planned shutdown kits • emergency replacements • retrofit/upgrade of existing conveyors handling cement, fly ash, lime, and fillers.

FAQ

Q: How do I identify my hanger bearing?
A: Check style (K or F), measure shaft diameter and hanger bolt spacing, then pick the bushing material for your duty.
Q: When should head bearings be replaced?
A: Signs include noise, heat, visible play, or recurring seal/dust issues.
Q: How do I size the gear reducer?
A: Provide capacity, screw diameter & pitch, current motor speed, and preferred mounting; we’ll specify kW and rpm to match.
