Abstract

An enclosed hanger bearing suitable for use under severe operating conditions is disclosed. The bearing is completely sealed to prevent the entry of abrasive materials. The bearing has an adaptor plate for engaging augers which are supported by the bearing from an overhead support. A combination of felt and magnetic strip seals are employed to prevent entry of abrasive into the bearing which is permanently lubricated.
