Pillow Plock Bearings for Bearing Housing
To run engine and machine well, it requires good application like bearing. Bearings are important to support the machine like in manufacture, automotive, even in housing. The bearing type that is fit to housing is pillow block bearings. This bearing that is commonly known as Plummer block is needed for housing, because some bearings are fit into this block, so, people does not need to buy bearings separately. It is also used to place the bearings securely when the machine operates. Then, for the material, it is usually made of the iron in grey cast. Moreover, there are some kinds for product using that you should know.
First is bearing units for flanged mount. This type is designed in two bolts of four bolts. For the bearing with two small bolts, it is usually called as blanquettes. Then, there is insert bearings that are used for mounted bearing units. For non-mounted bearings, there is bearing with flanged ball. Some bearings have balls to handle in positioning or mounting. Moreover, there are also other pillow block bearings that units for axially opposed. For some bearings, the axial perpendicular is needed to mounting surface, but for this type, running parallel for shaft is provided to mounting surface.
This bearing housing is basically used to accommodate aid of rotating axial. Then, it works with the support of some kinds of accessories and of course compatible bearings. Pillow block bearings are usually made of housing materials which are cast steel or iron. However, some of them are also designed from other material of metal in various grades for manufacture interest. Besides, this bearing type is usually chosen for its cleaner environment. Then, for general industry, it is used because of its lesser load. So, you can choose this bearing type for your need in housing or industry.
Even though, the pillow block is commonly called as Plummer block, but it has a little differences. The pillow block is used for higher rating of load ability and for environment of corrosive industry. However, both of them are used for certain parts of any engine and machine interchangeably. Pillow block bearings are available in split and un-split types. For split type, the bearing is usually designed in two pieces which the base and cap are able to be detached. Then for the other one, un-split type is designed in one piece. So, you can choose one that is fit to your need.
