Pillow block bearings house anti-friction bearings for various applications; consider type, material, bolt holes, bore diameter, and pricing before buying.
With all the different bearing options available, it can be challenging to understand the variations between them. In this guide, we will break down what a pillow block bearing is, how it is used, and what you should know before you purchase yours.
A pillow block bearing is a housing with an anti-friction bearing. 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.
The rolling element inside a pillow block bearing can range from the ball, cylindrical roller, spherical roller, or tapered roller. Sometimes people will confuse pillow block bearings and Plummer bearings, but they are two different things.
