All Blue Rhino Auger Compactors utilize a Double-Row Slewing Ring Bearing. “Double-Row”
means there are two rows of balls in the bearing housing, making it incredibly strong and
durable.This type of bearing is similar to what is used on tank turrets and large cranes.
The bearing is mounted to the back wall of the Auger Compactor frame with ¾” grade 8
fasteners. On our 10, 15 and 20 horsepower Auger Compactors, the auger screw and the
drivetrain sprocket are mounted to the bearing together, with ¾” grade 8 fasteners. On our
40 horsepower Auger Compactor, we do not use sprockets, instead the motor / gearbox is
connected directly to the auger screw through a heavy-duty flex-coupling.
