A Block with Unit Bearing is a mechanical component used to support and guide rotating shafts. It consists of a bearing mounted inside a housing (the block), which allows smooth rotation while maintaining shaft alignment. These blocks are commonly used in conveyor systems, machinery, and automation equipment to reduce friction and wear on rotating parts.
A Block with Unit Bearing, also called a Pillow Block Bearing, is a pre-assembled bearing unit consisting of a bearing mounted inside a rigid housing, designed to support a rotating shaft. The housing can be mounted on a surface, wall, or frame, providing stable support while maintaining proper shaft alignment and reducing friction. These units can handle radial and some axial loads and are designed for easy installation and maintenance, as the bearing can often be replaced without removing the block. They come in various types, including pillow block, flange block, take-up block, and self-aligning, and are widely used in conveyors, motors, industrial machinery, fans, and rollers for reliable and efficient shaft support.
