Product Overview: The P 205 Pillow Block Bearing Housing
The P 205 is a robust and widely used pillow block housing unit, an essential component in our P 200 Series of Bearing Housings. Specifically designed to accommodate a 25mm shaft, it is most commonly paired with a UC 205 insert bearing. This mounted bearing solution simplifies installation by providing a secure housing for the bearing and a stable base for mounting onto a flat surface. Its solid cast iron construction ensures durability and reliability in various industrial environments.
As a key supplier of industrial mechanical parts, we ensure our P 205 housings meet industry standards for interchangeability and performance. The spherical inner surface of the housing allows the insert bearing to make initial self-alignment, compensating for minor shaft misalignments and ensuring smooth operation. This makes the P 205 an ideal choice for applications where easy assembly and dependable rotational support are required.
Key Features of the P 205 Housing
- Durable Cast Iron Construction: Offers high strength and rigidity for secure bearing support and long service life.
- Two-Bolt Mounting: Features two mounting holes in the base for simple, stable, and secure installation on any flat surface.
- Relubrication Capability: Equipped with a grease nipple (zerk fitting) that allows for easy re-lubrication of the bearing, extending its operational life.
- Self-Aligning: The spherical seat of the housing accommodates the outer ring of the insert bearing, allowing for initial static misalignment of the shaft.
- Standardized Dimensions: Manufactured to globally recognized standards, ensuring it is interchangeable with units from other manufacturers.
- Protective Design: Encases the insert bearing, shielding it from contaminants and environmental factors, which enhances reliability.
Common Applications of P 205 Units
- Conveyor Systems: Widely used to support conveyor rollers and drive shafts, providing a reliable and easily maintainable solution.
- Agricultural Machinery: Found in equipment such as harvesters, seeders, and bailers where robust and simple bearing arrangements are necessary.
- Food and Beverage Processing: Suitable for use in packaging machines, sorters, and processing lines.
- HVAC Systems: Commonly used in fans, blowers, and air handling units to support the rotating shaft.
- Packaging Equipment: Provides essential support for rollers and shafts in printing and packaging machinery.
- Textile Machinery: Ensures smooth operation of various rotating components in textile manufacturing equipment.
- Construction Equipment: Used in smaller machinery and material handling equipment requiring mounted bearing solutions.
Benefits of Using the P 205 Housing
- Simplified Installation: The integrated housing and mounting base reduce assembly time and complexity compared to custom-built solutions.
- Enhanced Reliability: Protects the insert bearing from damage and contamination, leading to fewer failures and less downtime.
- Reduced Maintenance: The built-in grease port makes periodic lubrication straightforward, minimizing maintenance efforts.
- Cost-Effective: Provides an economical and efficient solution for supporting rotating shafts without the need for complex in-frame machining.
- Improved Machinery Lifespan: By accommodating misalignment, the P 205 reduces stress on the bearing and shaft, prolonging the life of the entire assembly.
- Versatile and Interchangeable: Its standard design allows for easy replacement and use in a wide variety of industrial applications.
