Pillow Block Ball Bearing Units

Pillow block ball bearing units is a rolling bearing unit. The interior usually consists of a spherical roller attached to the shaft and a supporting base – the pillow block – which can be mounted to the machine with bolts or other fixtures.

About Pillow Blocks

Pillow blocks are an essential component in a ball bearing unit, providing support and stability to the shaft. It is made of durable materials such as cast iron or steel to withstand heavy loads and harsh conditions. The choice of material depends on factors such as operating environment and load carrying capacity.

A pillow block is the mounting bracket or housing for a ball bearing unit. It is designed to provide support and hold the shaft of the bearing unit in place. Pillow blocks are usually made of cast iron or steel and have a base plate with a bolt hole pattern that enables them to be mounted to a flat surface.

Properties of pillow blocks include their durability, corrosion resistance, and ability to withstand heavy loads and high temperatures. The housings are designed for ease of installation and maintenance, making them a popular choice in many industrial applications. They also feature enclosed construction to protect the bearing unit from dirt, dust and other contaminants that could cause damage or reduce performance.

Pillow blocks can be made from a variety of materials including cast iron, steel, stainless steel and plastic. At GJP, cast iron is the most commonly used material in our remanufactured pillow blocks because cast iron is due to its strength, durability and wear resistance. Cast iron also has good heat dissipation properties, helping to prevent the bearing unit from overheating. Additionally, cast iron is relatively cheap and easy to machine and cast.

Ball bearing units

The materials used for the ball bearings in ball bearing units vary but common materials include chrome steel, stainless steel and ceramics. Characteristics of ball bearings include high wear and corrosion resistance, low friction, and the ability to accommodate radial and axial loads. Bearings are typically sealed to prevent contamination and provide lubrication retention, and come in a variety of sizes and designs to meet different application requirements.
