Pillow Block Bearings

Pillow block bearings provide excellent support for rotating shafts. Sometimes called plummer blocks, the pillow block consists of a bearing insert with a pedestal-style housing, usually with two boltholes in the base. 

In most instances, pillow block housings are made from cast iron, however, other housing materials are available. Stainless steel, nickel, or polyamide housings provide specific solutions for industries such as food & beverage, where wash downs are frequent.
