Bearings for Conveyor Systems
Pillow blocks and spherical rollers for heavy, dirty conveying loads.
Find your bearing— Pillow Block BearingConveyor systems combine high radial loads, misalignment and contaminated environments. Pillow block (plummer block) bearing units with spherical roller inserts tolerate shaft misalignment and simplify replacement. For heavy bulk-handling conveyors, spherical and tapered roller bearings carry the combined radial and axial loads, while split roller bearings allow maintenance without stripping the shaft.
