When an axle needs propping up, lean on this pillow block bearing from SKF. Combining a metal stand and a ball bearing, it helps to hold up shafts and aids their continuous rotation in both directions. Designed with a limiting speed of 2800r/min, it's handy for applications such as conveyors, cranes and fans. The stand has cast iron construction, giving it a high compression strength and effective abrasion resistance. This also lets it absorb energy and dampen vibrations.

• Boltholes on the housing make it easy to mount on surfaces
• Comes as a complete unit to minimise assembly time
• Seals and flingers on both sides to keep contaminants out
• Inner ring extends out of the housing to bolster support, holding dynamic loads up to 30.7kN

• HVAC systems
• Assembly lines
• Agricultural machinery
• Waste management plants

Yes, the unit comes pre-greased to speed up your installation. A relubrication hole means you can top this up as necessary to keep your machines turning freely.
