The Cooper Split Roller Bearing uses cylindrical rollers and components made in halves. Assembly of these halves around the shaft eliminates removal of couplings, gearboxes, pulleys etc, and simplifies shaft design. Cylindrical rollers allow unrestricted shaft expansion within the ‘EX’ bearing and can accommodate moderate axial loads with the ‘GR’ bearing. Housed in Cooper swivel cartridges offering shaft alignment and superior concentric sealing options, they can be used in a various forms of outer housings.

Cooper offers four standard bearings series to accommodate a variety of shaft sizes:
100 Series
For certain bore sizes in the range 75mm to 150mm Cooper also offer the 100 Series. Lighter duty than the 01 series, it is more compact and capable of higher operating speeds.
01/01E Series
The most commonly used, 01/01E series are intended for medium duty applications with a wide range of speeds. 01E series are available in 45mm to 105mm size range, and 160mm to 300mm size range, and offer enhanced load carrying capabilities, and can be considered for applications where 02 series were previously considered.
02/02E Series
The 02 Series offers a more rugged bearing solution for demanding applications where the 01 Series may not be suitable. The 02 Series also operates over a wide range of speeds. For a given shaft size, the 02 Series offers more radial and axial capacity than the 01 Series.02E series are available in 160mm to 300mm size range, and with enhanced load carrying capabilities, they can be considered for applications where 03 series were previously considered.
03 Series
Designed for extreme loading conditions the 03 Series tops the capacity of the 02 Series and offers the highest load ratings of all standard series.
