Short base pillow blocks contain an insert bearing made from stainless steel and a reinforced polypropylene housing. This bearing unit has a limiting speed of 500 r/min, an inside diameter of 50mm and is 133mm in length. 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.

• Housings are made from reinforced polypropylene which is a hydrophobic material making them reliable bearings to use in wet environments.
• Chemically resistant to detergents and contaminants to ensure long-lasting use and bearing protection.
• Lightweight and strong design for effective and efficient use in harsh food and beverage applications.
• Re-lubrication free solution to ensure effective long-lasting use in applications that do not require frequent lubrication.
• Gutter seals and a back seal provide high sealing properties to protect the insert bearing from contamination and bacteria.
