To ensure effective sealing, pillow (plummer) blocks are available with a variety of special seal options and end covers. Benefits include a facility for easy mounting and dismounting of pre-assembled shafts.
Pillow block housing can be used with high-capacity spherical roller bearings or self-aligning ball bearings. They are manufactured from high-strength cast iron as standard but are also available in cast steel or spheroidal graphite cast iron. The housings have a re-lubrication facility and can be used with either oil or grease lubrication.
