RS PRO Pillow Block Bearing -, 40mm ID

Introducing the range of RS PRO Pillow Block Housed Bearings, ideal for applications that require support for rotating shafts in industrial equipment like packaging and agricultural machinery. This type of ball bearing has been designed with a built-in pedestal mount that offers a low friction solution for supporting low to moderate axial and radial loads, secured with two bolts making it more solid. For additional versatility and to accommodate axial loads in different directions, the bearings can easily be paired to create different mounting combinations.

A pillow block bearing, also known as a plummer block, is a type of bearing that is used to support applications with a rotating shaft in heavy duty environments. Designed to be mounted with two mounting screws, it offers a more stable and secure bearing where there is often more strain on the housing that could impact the performance. Because of this design, these types of ball bearings can generally withstand longer maintenance intervals, meaning less downtime for inspection, maintenance and repairs. They are especially useful because the design of them makes them much stronger, allowing them to move axially and radially. Pillow block ball bearings and housing are commonly found in the following industries:

• Agriculture


• Industrial Manufacturing


• Construction


• Materials Handling
