Pillow block bearings are a compact bearing housing that encloses an insert bearing to support a rotating shaft in a fixed position. The unit provides stable shaft alignment, simple installation, and easy bearing replacement, helping to minimize downtime and maintenance efforts. Key benefits Reliable shaft support: maintains precise alignment under radial loads and reduces shaft wear. Easy replacement: standard insert bearings can be swapped without disassembling the entire system. Mounting versatility: available in multiple bore sizes with common mounting patterns for quick integration. Low maintenance options: sealed variants for maintenance operation and greaseable variants for regular relubrication. Durable construction: housings typically made from cast iron or steel, with hardened bearing races for extended life. What you get Function and compatibility: supports standard shaft diameters with common metric and imperial mounting layouts; suitable for twobolt or fourbolt bases depending on model. Size range: offered in a variety of bore sizes to match your shaft and load requirements. Materials and build: robust housing materials with hardwearing insert bearings; protection against contaminants via seals or shields; lubrication options available. Performance: designed for steady, lowfriction rotation and reliable operation across a range of industrial speeds and loads. Maintenance and variants Sealed versions: provide maintenance operation in dusty or damp environments. Greaseable versions: allow periodic relubrication for longer life in use applications. Installation notes: ensure bore size matches the shaft, select the appropriate mounting pattern, and verify proper alignment to minimize wear. Common applications Conveyor roller assemblies and material handling lines to support driven shafts with easy maintenance. Woodworking and metalworking machinery, CNC machines, and other drive shafts requiring stable, longlasting support. Agricultural equipment such as augers, grain conveyors, and fans where reliable shaft support is needed in outdoor or dusty conditions.
