Abstract
A composite bearing housing includes a molded plastic body in which planar reinforcing elements are embedded. The reinforcing elements may be flat or shaped, such as in frustoconical or other configurations. The plastic body is molded around the reinforcing elements and may be formed in any of a number of styles, such as pillow block styles, four-bolt flanged styles and the like. The housing includes a bearing set support surface and features for securing the housing to a machine frame. The reinforcing elements are edge-loaded to transmit loads on a bearing set to the support features and machine frame. Lateral faces of the reinforcing members contact the body material of the housing to prevent bending or buckling of the reinforcing members under loads.
