Pillow block bearings are used as a pedestal to support a rotating shaft with compatible bearings. SKF Food Line Range bearings have been specifically designed to be used in food and beverage applications and are suitable for use in wet conditions. This pillow block ball bearing unit is made from a combination of stainless steel and reinforced polypropylene, with an inside diameter of 30mm and 161mm in length.

• Suitable for use in wet conditions because the bearing is housed in reinforced polypropylene.
• Hygienic design features make the units perfectly suited for food and beverage applications.
• Resistant to chemical detergents and contaminants to ensure long-lasting use.
• Will remain stable and hold their expected properties therefore can be used in repeated operational and washdown cycles.
• Back seal and gutter seals to provide high sealing properties and bearing protection from external contamination

SKF pillow block ball bearing units are typically used in smaller areas with limited space. Pillow block bearing units are typically mounted in cleaner environments and are not made to bear higher loads. Applications of pillow blocks include more lightweight applications rather than heavy loads.

All of the products in SKS’s Food Line Range are non-standardised therefore they are not compliant with ISO Standards, North American Standards and Japanese Industrial Standards.
