grabcad

This type of bearing consists of I) a cast iron pedestal, ii) gun metal, or brass bush split into two halves called “brasses”, and iii) a cast iron cap and two mild steel bolts. The detailed drawing of a pedestal bearing is shown in image below. The rotation of the bush inside the bearing housing is arrested by a snug at the bottom of the lower brass. The cap is tightened on the pedestal block by means of bolts and nuts.
