Pillow Block Bearings

Pillow block bearing consists of an insert bearing mounted in a housing, bolting to a support surface.

Plummer Blocks

Plummer block housings can be used with high-capacity spherical roller bearings or self-aligning ball bearings.

Flanged Housing Bearing

Flanged ball bearing units consist of an insert bearing mounted in a housing, bolted to a machine wall or frame.

Insert Bearings

Insert bearings, and wide inner ring bearings are used to mount shafts without the need for shoulders.

Bearing Units and Pillow Blocks

The vertical bearing unit and the pillow block bearing are pedestal-mounted bearing seats, consisting of a mounting block with a bearing. The block is fixed on the base, and a shaft is inserted to rotate the internal parts. To obtain a tight fit, the inside of the bearing is usually a little larger than the shaft. Set screws or locking rings can be used to fix the shaft. Vertical bearing housings and pillow block housings have similar designs, and both use the same type of bearings, but they differ in application. Pillows are used for lighter applications, while stand blocks transmit high power and support heavy industrial loads.

Pillow Block Bearing Types

What are pillow block bearings used for? Bearing housing can refer to various bearing types, such as single-row ball bearings, double row ball bearings, spherical roller bearings, tapered roller bearings, etc. A unit usually refers to a one-piece housing instead of a split housing.

Pillow block bearings vary by the type of rolling element, which might include ball bearings, roller bearings (which consist of cylinders between the inner and outer rings of the bearing), tapered rollers, needle rollers; or metallic or synthetic bushing.

Certain combinations of housing type and bearing type determine the best pillow block bearing for a given application or condition.

Application of Plummer Blocks

Pillow block bearing applications.TFL offers relatively small shaft sizes, starting from 1/2 inch and up to about 5 inches. We can provide enough solutions, among which there may be too many more robust products. Applications that use these units include:

Agricultural machinery
Food and beverage processing packaging
Conveyor system
Material handling system
Textile equipment
Industrial fan
Special machinery (including fitness equipment)

Set screws or locking rings can be used to fix the post.

Plummer block is a pedestal used to provide support for a rotating shaft with the help of compatible bearings & different accessories. Housing material for a Plummer block is typically made of cast iron or cast steel. A plumber block may contain several rolling elements, including ball, spherical roller, self-aligning, or metallic or synthetic bushing.

What is the difference between bearing seats and flange seat bearing?

When the axis is parallel to the mounting surface, using a housing bearing. In most pictures and charts, which is displayed horizontally, but not necessarily so. Housing Bearing support can be horizontal, vertical, or inclined axes run – as long as the bearing block is mounted on a surface running in the same manner.

Flange block bearings are essentially right-angle bearings—flange bearings supporting the shaft perpendicular to the mounting surface. Similarly, the vertical axis shows which usually, but not necessarily be the case. It’s all about between the shaft and the mounting platform, rather than the angle between the ground.
