Product Overview: The P 217 Plummer Block Bearing Housing
The P 217 plummer block bearing housing, also known as a pillow block housing, is a robust and essential component designed to securely support and protect bearings in a wide range of industrial applications. Specifically, the P 217 housing is engineered to accommodate bearings with an 85 mm bore diameter, providing a stable and reliable mounting solution. Manufactured from high-grade cast iron, this housing ensures exceptional durability and resistance to harsh operating conditions, making it a cornerstone for machinery requiring dependable rotational support.
As a critical part of our P 200 Series P Series Bearing Housings, the P 217 is designed for ease of installation and maintenance. Its split design allows for convenient bearing inspection and replacement without needing to dismantle the entire shaft assembly. This design also facilitates proper lubrication and contributes to the extended service life of the enclosed bearing by protecting it from contaminants such as dust, moisture, and debris. Integrating the P 217 housing into your mechanical systems ensures enhanced performance, reduced downtime, and greater operational efficiency.
