Bearing pillow block
A pillow block holds a bearing on a flat base. The bore must be the right size and round, it must sit at the right height above the base, and the base bolts must line up with the frame.
We gravity cast pillow blocks and supply them as cast or machined. The gallery shows the same block in both conditions.
