What You Need to Know About Pillow Block Bearings
If you are looking for a reliable and affordable bearing option, then pillow block bearings should be at the top of your list. They offer a number of benefits that cannot be beat and are ideal for a variety of applications.
What are minimum loads and why are they important for bearings?
First, an overview is needed. Rolling element bearings are used to reduce friction in rotating machinery by using rolling friction with a low coefficient of friction to eliminate as much sliding friction from the system as possible. However, even though rolling element bearings attempt to reduce the total friction in the system, the individual rolling elements within the bearing still require a certain amount of friction to roll rather than slide. This internal friction is created by applying a load to the bearing. This load can be generated internally by preloading, or it can be generated by an externally applied load.
