Pillow block bearings What it is A bearing housing with an integral bearing designed to support a rotating shaft while maintaining alignment in a compact unit. Key benefits Provides stable shaft support and keeps the shaft in proper alignment Reduces friction and wear, enabling smoother operation Easy to install and bearings without specialized tools Available with sealed or shielded variants for dust and moisture resistance Function and performance Supports radial loads and maintains accurate shaft orientation Delivers consistent, low friction rotation when properly lubricated Built for reliable operation in continuous or intermittent duty environments Compatibility and size Offered in multiple bore sizes to fit common shaft diameters Housing dimensions designed to suit standard mounting patterns Available in common materials and configurations to match application needs Material and construction (typical considerations) Housings commonly made from cast iron or steel for durability Bearings inside vary by design and may include seals or shields Lubrication options and lubrication channels are available to suit maintenance schedules Use scenarios Conveyor system rollers and material handling lines requiring stable shaft support Woodworking or milling equipment with rotating spindles or rollers Agricultural machinery such as augers and grain handling rollers Maintenance and care Inspect seals and as needed to maintain protection against contaminants Regular lubrication per bearing specification to ensure smooth operation Check mounting bolts and alignment during routine service
