Plummer blocks

Bush type Plummer block :

Product Description :
This type of bearing consists of I a cast iron pedestal, ii gun metal, or brass bush split into two halves called “brasses”, and iii a cast iron cap and two mild steel bolts. The detailed drawing of a pedestal bearing is shown in image below. The rotation of the bush inside the bearing housing is arrested by a snug at the bottom of the lower brass. The cap is tightened on the pedestal block by means of bolts and nuts. The detailed part drawings of another Plummer block with slightly different dimensions are also shown in image below.

Application : Industrial/Mechanical Power Transmission and Conveyor

Materials : : Cast Iron/M.S/IS:2707 /IS:1030/PB2/Gun Metal/Brass

Capacity /Size : Dia50mm TO Dia400mm shaft dia


Bearing type Plummer block :

Product Description :
A pillow block bearing (or Plummer block) is a pedestal used to provide support for a rotating shaft with the help of compatible bearings and various accessories. The assembly consists of a mounting block which houses a bearing. The block is mounted to a foundation and a shaft is inserted allowing the inner part of the bearing / shaft to rotate. The inside of the bearing is typically 0.025 millimeters (0.001 in) larger diameter than the shaft to ensure a tight fit. Set screws, locking collars, or set collars are commonly used to secure the shaft. Housing material for a pillow block is typically made of cast iron or cast steel.

A pillow block usually refers to housing with an included anti-friction bearing, wherein the mounted shaft is in a parallel plane to the mounting surface, and perpendicular to the center line of the mounting holes, as contrasted with various types of flange blocks or flange units.

Bearing types :

A pillow block may contain a bearing with one of several types of rolling elements, including ball, cylindrical roller, spherical roller, tapered roller, or metallic or synthetic bushing. The type of rolling element defines the type of pillow block.

Plummer blocks :

Pillow blocks differ from "Plummer blocks" which are bearing housings supplied without any bearings and are usually meant for higher load ratings and a separately installed bearing. Plummer block bearings are designed for more corrosive environments. The fundamental application of both types is the same, which is to mount a bearing safely enabling its outer ring to be stationary while allowing rotation of the inner ring. The housing is bolted to a foundation through the holes in the base.
