Product Overview: The P 204 Bearing Housing
The P 204 bearing housing is a robust and essential component designed to house insert ball bearings, typically those from the UC 200 Series, for industrial applications. Specifically, the P 204 is engineered to accommodate bearings with a 20mm bore, such as the UC 204, providing a sturdy mounted solution for shafts of this diameter. As a prominent member of our P 200 Series Bearing Housings, it features a solid cast iron construction and a convenient two-bolt base for easy and secure mounting on flat surfaces.
This pillow block housing is vital for protecting the enclosed bearing from contaminants, ensuring its longevity and smooth operation. Its design allows for simple installation and effective re-lubrication, making it a preferred choice in various industrial settings where reliable and low-maintenance shaft support is crucial. Explore our comprehensive range of industrial bearing housings to find the perfect fit for your machinery needs.
