Pillow block ball bearing units consist of a mounted bearing housed within a pedestal-style base that supports shafts parallel to a mounting surface. These units provide reliable shaft support, easy installation, and simplified maintenance, making them ideal for applications such as conveyors, fans, material handling systems, and general industrial machinery. Their robust design helps maintain proper alignment and consistent performance under a wide range of operating conditions.
Options: Available in a wide range of configurations to meet diverse application requirements, with solutions manufactured under our IPTCI, PTI and TRITAN brands.
Bearing materials include high-quality AISI 52100 chrome steel, black oxide-treated steel, hard chrome coated steel, and corrosion-resistant stainless steel for long service life and durability in challenging environments.
Bore types are available in straight configurations to accommodate standard shaft designs. Multiple locking mechanisms—including set screw, concentric collar, and eccentric collar—provide secure shaft attachment and reliable operation across applications.
Closure options include:
-
Advanced sealing solutions such as triple lip seals
-
Dual seal configurations (B-Type and K-Type)
-
IP69K sealing for high-pressure washdown environments
-
QCW seals for superior contamination protection.
Units are available in light, medium, and standard duty configurations to meet varying load and performance requirements.
A wide selection of lubrication options is available, including NLGI #2 grease, lithium-based greases, high-temperature greases, and H1 food-grade greases for sanitary and food processing environments. Bearings may be supplied as relubricatable, non-relubricatable, or lubricated-for-life depending on maintenance preferences.
Housing materials include cast iron, ductile iron, stainless steel, thermoplastic, nickel-plated and corrosion-resistant housings, and pressed steel, offering flexibility for strength, weight, and environmental resistance requirements.
Mounting configurations include standard pillow block, compact, low center height, and tapped base designs to suit a variety of installation needs.
