Gamet Bearings

About Gamet Bearings

Gamet Bearingshave been manufacturing high precision tapered roller bearings for over forty years in their Colchester factory. Originally founded to serve the machine tool industry, Gamet has today expanded into other sectors of industry having high precision bearing requirements.

These include the coating of materials, photographic emulsions or adhesives, and the printing and packaging industries. Ongoing investment in new equipment and technology will ensure the continuing reputation of Gamet as a manufacturer of high precision, high quality bearings.

PLAIN CUP

The basic single row bearing can be used in light to medium loaded applications, and provides a simple, cost-effective arrangement.

BENEFITS

• Cone Bore Run-out tolerances ranging from 0.5 microns to 1.5 microns
• Comprehensive range of sizes from 25mm bore upwards
• Quality assured to ISO 9000 standards
• High quality bearing materials

FLANGED CUP (C TYPE)

The flanged cup version enables through boring of the housing for simplicity and accuracy.

BENEFITS

• Cone Bore Run-out tolerances ranging from 0.5 microns to 1.5 microns
• Comprehensive range of sizes from 25mm bore upwards
• Quality assured to ISO 9000 standards

CONSTANT PRE-LOAD BEARING (P TYPE)

This single row bearing has an extended outer ring, housing a number of springs. It is mounted in conjunction with either a single or double row bearing. As the outer race is free to slide in the housing, the spring force ensures that a constant bearing system preload is maintained despite thermal expansion due to varying temperature conditions.

BENEFITS

• Specialist design and manufacturing service available to meet your particular requirements
• Competitive delivery on most sizes

PLAIN CUP (G TYPE)

Double row bearings offer nearly twice the capacity of the equivalent single row bearing, and are therefore used in more heavily loaded applications.

The plain outer race enables this bearing to be used in a floating position to permit thermal expansion. As such it can replace a P type bearing when additional load capacity is required.

G type bearings can be pre adjusted to give GE double row bearings. This is achieved by fitting a spacer between the inner races to give the required assembly end play or pre load. The choice of setting is based upon a number of parameters such as speed, lubrication and applied loads. Spacer width is adjusted individually prior to despatch.

FLANGED CUP (H TYPE)

Double row bearings offer nearly twice the capacity of the equivalent single row bearing, and are therefore used in more heavily loaded applications.

This double row bearing has a flanged outer ring which locates the shaft axially. This can also simplify housing machining operations and overall design.

H type bearings can be pre adjusted to give HE double row bearings. This is achieved by fitting a spacer between the inner races to give the required assembly end play or pre load. The choice of setting is based upon a number of parameters such as speed, lubrication and applied loads. Spacer width is adjusted individually prior to despatch.

Unparalleled Precision for Demanding Applications

Gamet Bearings are meticulously crafted to serve the exacting needs of industries that require supreme accuracy and reliability, such as machine tool manufacturing and high-precision equipment. Each bearing undergoes stringent quality control and features ultra-precision tolerances, guaranteeing optimal performance under intensive operational conditions and high speeds.


Versatile Configurations and Customizable Options

Available in a range of structuressingle row, twin row, and tandem arrangementsour bearings are designed for flexibility in installation and operational requirements. Offering bore sizes from 30 mm to 200 mm and outer diameters up to 260 mm, Gamet Bearings can be tailored to specific engineering specifications, load ratings, and speed demands, making them ideal for various industrial uses.


Enduring Performance and Durability

All Gamet Bearings are made from robust bearing steel, finished through advanced grinding and polishing processes to ensure longevity and consistent operation at temperatures between -20C and 120C. Options for grease or oil lubrication further enhance operational life and efficiency, providing users with low-maintenance, high-output solutions.
