ANGLE PLUMMER BLOCK

Pillow blocks, or housing units with bearings fitted, enable users to avoid separate bearing purchases. Primarily utilized in cleaner settings and for lighter industry loads, they differ from plummer blocks, which are supplied without bearings and typically serve high-load, corrosive environments. Despite regional interchangeable usage, both types offer similar functionality: securely mounting bearings with stationary outer rings and rotating inner ones. Housings come in split or unsplit designs; the former being two-piece caps and bases, while some series are one-piece. Various seals prevent contaminants from entering the housing, ensuring optimal bearing rotation and performance. Generally constructed of grey cast iron, other metals may be used. ISO 113 standardizes plummer block dimensions internationally, with popular brands like SKF, FAG, SMR, GBM, and NTN in global markets.
