    • Pillow Block Bearings

    Shafts are prone to bowing at high speeds, which can negatively impact performance. Better support shafts rotating inside your application with durable and robust pillow block bearings from Bearings Direct.

    A pillow block bearing is a bearing used in low-torque, light-loading applications. It consists of a mounting bracket, or pillow block, that houses a bearing. Typically, the block is secured to a foundation or workpiece while the shaft and the inner ring of the bearing rotate freely. For additional information about pillow block bearings, our team is standing by to answer questions. Contact us today.

    Cast Iron Pillow Block Ball Bearings
    These bearings consist of a cast iron housing with a ball bearing. These bearings are self-aligning and use set screws or a locking collar to mount onto the shaft. They also have bolt holes in the housing so they can be secured tightly. This design results in a high load-carrying capacity. 

     

    Stainless Steel Pillow Block Ball Bearings
    These bearings consist of a stainless steel housing with a stainless steel ball bearing. These bearings are self-aligning and use set screws to mount onto the shaft. They also have bolt holes in the housing so they can be secured tightly. This design results in a high load-carrying capacity and an exceptional resistance to corrosion from water or humidity. 

     

    Pressed Steel Pillow Block Ball Bearings
    These bearings consist of a pressed steel housing with a light duty ball bearing. These bearings are self-aligning and use set screws or a locking collar to mount onto the shaft. They also have bolt holes in the housing so they can be secured tightly. This design results in a light-duty but cost effective option. 

     

    Zinc Alloy Pillow Block Ball Bearings
    These bearings consist of a zinc plated alloy housing with a light duty rubber sealed ball bearing. This series of bearings are self-aligning and use set screws or a locking collar to mount onto the shaft. They also have bolt holes in the housing so they can be secured tightly. These are most commonly used in HVAC systems but have a plethora of various applications.

     

    Move More Smoothly
    Since pillow block bearings are designed to support rotating and power transmission equipment shafts, they’re essential to various industries. Common business sectors that can benefit from this bearing type include: 

    - Automotive
