Pillow Block Bearing

The Pillow Block Bearing consists of a mounting bracket (pillow block) that houses a bearing and is used in low-torque, light load applications. With this configuration, the pillow block is bolted to a foundation, securing it, while the shaft and the inner ring of the bearing are free to rotate. Usually made of gray cast iron, pillow blocks come in two types, split or unsplit. The pillow block part of the bearing is mounted to an object, but it still allows free movement in the center for an object to spin. Pillow Block Bearing is very effective and useful.
