SS 316 Mounted bearings for extreme aplications!
Developed to be tough!
Extreme Bearing offers a bearing unit that can be fully customized to your specifications
Extreme Bearings are heavy-duty AISI 316 stainless steel bearings available in metric (25 to 110 mm) and Imperial sizes, built to operate in harsh environments ranging from -79°C up to +400°C, including submerged, chemically aggressive, and ATEX-certified applications.
Bearing units configurable for any application
Extreme Bearing units can be configured with different bearing types to meet the toughest application requirements.
The Extreme Bearing Platform
Our system consists of a complete range of stainless steel bearing housings:
- EXS – Pillow Block Housing
- EXF – 4-bolt Flange Housing
- EXW – 2-bolt Flange Housing
- EXC – Tapped Base Housing
- EXL – 3-bolt Bracket Housing
- EXR – Compact Housing
- EXT – Take-Up Unit
- EBL – Split Plummer Block Housing
Each housing is not a finished product, but an engineering foundation.
The final bearing assembly is defined by the engineer.
Modular AISI 316 Housings to Combine with Application-Specific Inserts

Stainless Steel 316 as standard
All Extreme Bearing housings are manufactured from AISI 316 stainless steel, ensuring maximum corrosion resistance and durability.
Suitable for:
- Offshore & marine applications
- Food processing & washdown systems
- Chemical industry
- Water and wastewater treatment
- Heavy industrial installations
Why AISI 316 Stainless Steel Sets Extreme Bearings Apart
We manufacture all Extreme Bearing housings from solid AISI 316 stainless steel as standard, which provides the ultimate foundation for severe industrial environments. Consequently, choosing AISI 316 delivers specific, critical material advantages:
-
Superior Corrosion Resistance: First and foremost, the material actively resists salt water, aggressive chemicals, and harsh atmospheric conditions where standard metals quickly fail.
-
Hygienic, Cavity-Free Design: Furthermore, the solid stainless steel construction eliminates hidden cavities and contamination traps. Therefore, it meets HACCP/HARPC compliance and effortlessly withstands frequent high-pressure washdowns.
-
Extreme Thermal Stability: In addition, the robust material maintains its structural integrity across demanding temperature ranges from -79°C up to +400°C.
-
Heavy-Duty Durability: Ultimately, AISI 316 delivers high mechanical strength and withstands pressures up to 40 bar, which guarantees long-term operational reliability.
