Baldor / Dodge 126812 (PCB-SCM-111) pillow block bearing unit is a mechanical component that provides support and alignment for rotating shafts. It consists of a housing (pillow block) and an insert bearing that can accommodate radial & axial loads. This unit has cast iron housing and is designed to be mounted securely to a support structure.
Working Mechanism:
- This pillow block bearing unit has self-aligning insert bearings placed inside the housing.
- This bearing can accommodate slight misalignments between the shaft and the housing.
- The rotating shaft is inserted into the bearing.
- The self-aligning feature allows the bearing to adapt to any minor misalignment between the shaft and the housing.
- As the shaft rotates, the bearing unit supports both radial and axial loads generated by the machinery.
