About Fan Bearings (ring oiler type)
Arvis fan bearing housings with ring oilers are designed for reliable, long-term operation in industrial fan and ventilation applications. Their self-aligning design accommodates minor shaft and housing alignment variations, while the ring oiling system provides continuous lubrication during operation.
Unlike rolling-element bearings, these plain bearing units wear gradually rather than failing suddenly. This allows bearing shell replacement to be planned as part of routine maintenance, often without dismantling the complete fan assembly or connected drives. The result is reduced downtime and easier servicing.
Arvis industrial fan bearings with ring oilers are suitable for demanding applications requiring dependable performance and minimal maintenance. Bowman can also provide technical support for selecting the appropriate ring oiler bearing block and replacement components for your equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a ring oiler type bearing?
A ring oiler type bearing is a self-aligning plain bearing that uses an oil ring to continuously lubricate the shaft during operation. It is commonly used in industrial fans and other equipment requiring reliable, low-maintenance operation.
How does ring oiler lubrication work?
As the shaft rotates, the loose-fitting oil ring picks up lubricant from the bearing housing reservoir and carries it to the shaft and bearing surface. This provides a continuous supply of oil without requiring a pressurized lubrication system.
What speeds do fan bearings support?
The suitable operating speed depends on the bearing size, shaft diameter, load, lubrication, and application conditions. Bowman can help determine the appropriate ring oiler bearing for your fan based on the required operating speed and duty.
What shaft sizes are available?
Ring oiler type fan bearings are available for a range of shaft sizes. The appropriate size depends on the shaft diameter, bearing load, speed, and housing configuration. Contact Bowman with your shaft and application requirements for selection assistance.
How do I request a quote in the US?
To request a quote for ring oiler type fan bearings in the US, provide your shaft size, operating speed, load, bearing dimensions, and application details where available. Bowman can recommend a suitable bearing and provide pricing and availability.
