Frequently Asked Questions
What are plumber block bearings?
Plumber block bearings are units that house a bearing and make it easy to mount it securely onto a machine. The bearing is inserted into a "block" (housing), which provides the necessary support to ensure the bearing stays aligned and operates smoothly. These units are commonly used in conveyor systems, material handling equipment, and heavy machinery.
What is the difference between plumber block bearings and pillow blocks?
The main difference between plumber block bearings and pillow block bearings is the design of the housing. Plumber blocks typically have a square or rectangular shape, while pillow blocks are often rounded. Both types of blocks serve a similar function of supporting bearings, but plumber blocks are often used in more robust settings with higher load requirements.
How do I choose the right plumber block housing for my application?
Selecting the right plumber block housing depends on factors such as the type of bearing, load requirements, environment, and machine design. Consider the dimensions of the shaft, the operating temperature range, and whether additional features like sealing or lubrication are required.
