Pillow Block Bearing

A Pillow Block Bearing is, also known as a Plummer block used to support a rotating shaft. It is a pedestal installed with the ball-bearing to ease rotation and hold the shaft tightly. The assembling of these Pillow Bearing is done opposite to the shaft. When the shaft is inserted into the block, it allows the inner part of the bearing to rotate. Various features like locking collars, set screws, or set collars help to secure the shaft. These blocks are generally made up of Cast Iron or Cast steel. It provides strength to the block and increases its durability. The Pillow Block Bearing Types are vast due to their various uses. Multiple factors can differentiate these types. One of them is their manufacturing materials. The different bearing available in the market is made of ductile iron, steel, stainless steel, thermoplastics and polyethene-based plastics.
