The Purpose of a Pillow Block

While the general purpose of a pillow block bearing is, as with all bearings, to carry a load with minimal friction, this type features a mounting bracket to secure the bearing. The exterior of the bearing doesn’t rotate, but the ball and cage design allows the inner race to rotate freely. This results in a bearing that is secured to a foundation and capable of handling light load and low torque demands.

Types of Pillow Block Bearings

Work with your ball bearings supplier to determine the best type of pillow block bearings for your application. Whether you choose split or unsplit pillow blocks, Baker Bearing Company offers the options you need from major manufacturers around the globe.

In addition to these two basic types, pillow blocks are further categorized based on their size and the materials used in their manufacturing. Here are factors to consider when properly sizing pillow block bearings:

• Shaft height
• Haft diameter
• Shaft size
• Maximum load capacity
• Maximum speed

Your bearing distributor can help you compare common materials used in manufacturing. Typically, pillow block bearings use M50 tool steel, 52100 chrome steel, or 440C stainless steel. The material choice affects the lifespan of the bearing, overall weight, cost, and heat resistance, so it’s important to select a competitive option for your project.

Industry-Specific Components

Your roller bearing supplier offers ball, roller, and pillow block bearings for your industry. Review these examples of industry-specific options available from Baker Bearing Company:

• Trucking bearings
• Agriculture bearings
• Industrial bearings
• Automotive bearings
• Oilfield bearings

From conveyor belts to ventilation systems, ensure shafts are supported and bearings roll freely thanks to the correct pillow block bearings. An inefficient roller can quickly cause equipment failures due to corrosion or excessive friction.
