Pillow block bearings, also known as plummer block bearings, are mounted bearings used to provide support for rotating shafts with the mounting surface parallel to the shaft axis. They are commonly used in industrial applications such as conveyor systems, fans, and agricultural machinery. Pillow block bearings consist of a housing (pillow block) and an insert bearing. The housing contains a bearing seat to support the insert bearing, which is typically a spherical roller bearing or ball bearing.
Pillow block bearings are available in various designs and materials to suit different operating conditions. They offer easy installation, alignment, and maintenance, making them suitable for a wide range of applications in diverse industries.
