Commercial Vehicle Drive Shaft Center Support Bearing Assemblies
A Centre Bearing Assembly (commonly specified by heavy-duty fleet engineers as a Center Support Bearing) is an essential mechanical component mounted within multi-piece propeller shaft configurations. Predominantly utilised in rear-wheel-drive (RWD) and all-wheel-drive (4WD/AWD) commercial trucks, utility vehicles, and articulated transports, it guarantees correct axial alignment while effectively isolating driveline harmonics from entering the chassis.
Manufactured by Amit Rubber Products in New Delhi since 1980, each unit integrates high-grade metallurgical housings with specially formulated elastomeric cushions to resist torsional stress, dynamic road shocks, oil contaminants, and severe temperature variations.
Three Core Structural Elements
- 1 Precision Sealed Bearing: Hardened chrome-steel deep groove ball bearing pre-greased and sealed for maintenance-free, friction-free rotation.
- 2 Anti-Vibration Rubber Cushion: High-tensile, elastomeric dampening compound designed to absorb radial runout and driveline vibration.
- 3 Heavy-Gauge Metal Bracket: Stamped structural steel bracket engineered for exact chassis mounting geometry and torsional rigidity.

Inquire Part DetailsTechnical Specifications & Quality Parameters
Every centre bearing is precision manufactured to ensure seamless installation, low maintenance, and long service life.
| Component Feature | Manufacturing Specification | Engineering & Fleet Advantage |
|---|---|---|
| Core Materials | High-grade stamped structural steel and premium natural/EPDM elastomer | High fatigue strength, tear resistance, and durable structural longevity |
| Vibration Absorption | Elastomeric compound calibrated to 55–65 Shore A hardness | Dampens driveline vibration, isolates cabin noise, and protects U-joints |
| Load Performance | Heavy-duty radial load bearing with reinforced bracket thickness | Withstands intense start-stop torque spikes and heavy cargo loads |
| Rotational Precision | Precision machined tolerances conforming to international ISO fitment | Prevents shaft wobble, eliminates premature bearing failure, smooth drive |
| Maintenance Profile | Sealed-for-life bearing unit with double contact synthetic lip seals | Impervious to mud, road salt, moisture, and dust penetration |
Dynamic Harmonic Isolation
Propeller shafts undergo continuous torsional deflection and angle shifts. Our vulcanized rubber cushions allow controlled radial compliance without losing centerline alignment, saving transmission output shafts from undue wear.
OEM Fitment Verification
All bolt hole spacings, bracket heights, and bore diameters are produced against original technical drawings. We eliminate installation mismatches so workshops can perform rapid drop-in replacements.
Export-Grade Protective Packaging
Each unit is treated with a rust-preventive surface coating, sealed in protective moisture-barrier liners, and packed in reinforced export cartons to arrive in pristine condition anywhere in the world.
Sourcing & Industrial Application Insights
Comprehensive manufacturing capabilities supporting international supply chains across primary commercial sectors.
| Industry Sector | Operational Application | Key Performance Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Commercial Transportation | Heavy haulage trucks, distribution vans, interstate buses | Smoother power delivery, diminished cabin shudder, long service intervals |
| Logistics & Fleet Haulage | Prime movers, container haulers, multi-axle trailers | Prevents driveline misalignment and universal joint breakdown on rough roads |
| Agricultural Machinery | Tractors, combine harvesters, utility vehicles | Superior shock resistance and dirt exclusion under punishing field environments |
| Off-Highway & Mining | Tippers, construction trucks, site transport vehicles | Heavy-gauge bracketry withstands sudden torque spikes without flexing |
