About NTN Pillow Blocks
Pillow block ball bearing unit with extended inner ring and set screw locking, cast iron, Japanese standards
Pillow (plummer) block ball bearing units consist of an insert bearing mounted in a cast iron housing that can be bolted to a support surface. This variant is strong and stiff, and is suitable for applications with both constant and alternating directions of rotation. It has an inner ring extended on both sides and is locked onto the shaft by tightening a set screw on the inner ring, making it easy to mount.
- Strong
- Designed for a constant and alternating rotation
- Ready to mount
- Lubricated and sealed bearing
- Quick locking onto the shaft
- Cost-effective
Reliable Pedestal Mounting for Versatile ApplicationsNTN Pillow Blocks with pedestal mounting provide a secure, stable foundation for conveying systems, agricultural machinery, and industrial applications. The single-unit cast iron housing is finished with a resilient painted coating, ensuring long-lasting protection and structural integrity in harsh environments.
Optimal Bearing Performance and Extended LifespanThe deep groove ball bearing design, along with double-sealed protection and pre-filled grease, ensures these pillow blocks deliver quiet, smooth operation and minimize maintenance needs. Rated to handle up to 17 kN dynamic and 9.5 kN static loads, they are suited to high-performance applications and help reduce downtime.
FAQ's of NTN Pillow Blocks:
Q: How do I correctly mount NTN Pillow Blocks with a pedestal mount?
A: To mount NTN Pillow Blocks with pedestal mount, position the block over the designated mounting holes (11 mm size) on your machine frame or support structure. Align the block's bore with the shaft and fasten securely using appropriate bolts, ensuring proper torque to prevent movement during operation.
Q: What applications are these NTN Pillow Blocks best suited for?
A: These NTN pillow blocks are ideal for conveying systems, agricultural machinery, and general industrial equipment, offering stability and high load capacity for rotating shafts in these demanding environments.
Q: When should I consider re-lubricating my pre-lubricated NTN Pillow Blocks?
A: These units are supplied pre-lubricated with high-quality grease and feature double seals for extended protection. However, for continuous or heavy-duty use, periodic inspection is recommended. Re-lubrication intervals depend on operation hours and conditions, but factory lubrication is often sufficient for normal use up to several years.
Q: Where are these NTN Pillow Blocks typically supplied or sourced from?
A: NTN Pillow Blocks are sourced from Japan and are available through authorized suppliers and traders, ensuring authentic, high-quality bearing housings with reliable support.
Q: What is the process for verifying the proper fit of the bore and shaft?
A: Ensure the shaft's diameter matches the 20 mm bore size of the pillow block for a secure fit. Carefully insert the shaft, check for alignment, and verify there is no excess play or binding before operation.
Q: How does the double-sealed bearing design benefit my machinery?
A: The double-sealed configuration shields the bearing from dust, moisture, and debris, enhancing durability and ensuring extended operational life even under severe conditions.
Q: What are the main advantages of using these cast iron, single-row pillow blocks?
A: These pillow blocks provide high strength, ease of installation, and resistance to deformation. The single-row, deep groove ball bearing structure delivers efficient load handling and smooth performance for high-speed, high-load operations.
