Protective caps
Protective caps prevent the ingress of dust, dirt and moisture into bearing housings. They extend the service life of bearings and reduce maintenance costs in industrial applications.
Protective Caps for Bearing Housings by MOVET – Reliable Protection for Longer Service Life
Protective caps are essential components in modern bearing technology when it comes to protecting bearing housings from dust, dirt, moisture and mechanical impacts. They play a key role in extending the service life of rolling and plain bearings, reducing unplanned downtime and lowering maintenance costs. MOVET offers a wide range of protective caps for bearing housings designed for the demanding conditions of industrial applications – from conveyor technology and machinery manufacturing to hygienically sensitive production areas.
Optimised Protection for Bearings and Housings
A high-quality bearing protective cap prevents the ingress of contaminants, liquids and other particles into the bearing housing. This protects seals, reduces wear on raceways and ensures long-term functional reliability. In environments with heavy dust exposure, moisture, or frequent cleaning cycles, protective caps are an indispensable safeguard for reliable operation.
Versatile Applications
MOVET protective caps are used in a wide range of industries. In conveyor systems, they protect the bearing housings of flange bearings, pillow block bearings and insert bearings from material abrasion and dust. In mechanical engineering, they shield sensitive bearings from coolants, chips and other debris. In the food and pharmaceutical industries, they keep water, cleaning agents and production residues out of the bearing, ensuring both hygiene and durability.
Material and Colour Options for Every Requirement
MOVET protective caps are available in different material configurations – from robust plastic to corrosion-resistant stainless steel – allowing them to be perfectly matched to the operating environment. Colour options include blue, black and white. Blue protective caps are widely used in hygienic areas because they are easy to detect during visual inspections. Black variants offer a universal, discreet appearance, while white caps are particularly suitable for applications with strict hygiene standards.
Hygienic Protective Caps
For applications with the highest cleanliness requirements, such as in the food, beverage or pharmaceutical industries, MOVET offers hygienic protective caps. Made from food-grade materials, they are easy to clean, resistant to aggressive cleaning agents and withstand high-pressure washdowns. Smooth surfaces prevent dirt accumulation and make maintenance simple and hygienic.
Waterproof Protective Caps for Harsh Environments
In addition to hygienic models, MOVET also supplies waterproof protective caps specially designed for environments with high humidity, frequent water contact or wet cleaning processes. These variants are ideal for outdoor installations, washdown zones in food processing, or conveyors in damp production areas. The waterproof design ensures that no water enters the bearing housing, effectively preventing corrosion and premature bearing failure.
Compatible with Various Bearing Housings
MOVET protective caps are suitable for a wide range of bearing housing types – including flange bearings, pillow block bearings and insert bearing housings. They can be used with both rolling and plain bearing housings. Thanks to precise manufacturing, installation is straightforward, and the protective function is immediately effective. Available in closed or open designs, they can be adapted to provide ventilation or access for lubrication where required.
