What are housing Caps
A housing cap is typically a cover or closure used in conjunction with a housing (such as a bearing housing or gearbox body). It’s commonly used to:
- Secure internal components (e.g., bearings, seals)
- Maintain alignment in split housing assemblies
- Retain lubrication
- Seal the enclosure against contaminants (dust, dirt, moisture)
- Prevent axial movement of the shaft or bearing
End Caps for Plummer Block Housings are used to seal off unused shaft openings and retain lubrication in heavy-duty environments, while Open Caps for Thermoplastic Housings allow shaft pass-through and are ideal for hygienic, wash-down applications in food and beverage industries.
