Product Overview: The P 212 Pillow Block Bearing Unit
The P 212 Pillow Block Bearing Unit is a robust and essential component in industrial power transmission systems, specifically designed to accommodate a UC 212 insert bearing, providing a stable support for shafts with a 60mm bore diameter. As a critical part of our P 200 Series Bearing Housing collection, this unit combines a durable cast iron housing with a compatible insert ball bearing (typically a UC 212), creating a versatile solution for various machinery. Its solid base and reliable construction ensure optimal performance and longevity, even in demanding operational environments.
Pillow block units like the P 212 are commonly used where shafts run parallel to the mounting surface. They are known for their ease of installation and ability to compensate for minor initial misalignment, contributing to the overall stability and efficiency of mechanical systems. Our P 212 units are manufactured to industrial standards, offering excellent support and protection for the housed bearing, making them a preferred choice for reliable industrial applications.
Key Features of the P 212 Pillow Block Unit
- Sturdy Cast Iron Construction: Provides exceptional strength and rigidity, ensuring long-term durability and resistance to harsh industrial conditions.
- Integrated Bearing Support: Designed to house a standard UC 212 insert bearing, which typically includes wide inner rings for secure shaft attachment.
- Easy Mounting: Features a bolt-down base for straightforward and secure installation on various surfaces, simplifying maintenance and replacement.
- Self-Aligning Capability (with compatible bearing): When paired with an appropriate insert bearing, the unit can accommodate initial shaft misalignment, reducing stress and extending service life.
- Pre-lubricated & Re-lubricatable: Often comes with a pre-lubricated insert bearing and facilities for re-lubrication (e.g., grease fitting) to ensure continuous, low-friction operation.
- Corrosion Resistance: Finished to resist corrosion, enhancing longevity in diverse industrial settings.
