Product Overview: The P 207 Pillow Block Bearing Housing
The P 207 is a robust and widely used two-bolt pillow block housing, designed to provide secure and reliable support for rotating shafts. As a key component in our P Series Bearing Housings, the P 207 is engineered to accommodate a 35mm shaft diameter by housing a compatible insert bearing, most commonly the UC 207. This unit is manufactured from high-quality cast iron, ensuring durability and stability in various industrial environments.
Part of the versatile P 200 Series, this housing features a solid base for straightforward mounting onto a flat surface. It is equipped with a grease nipple, allowing for easy relubrication to extend the service life of the bearing. The spherical seat within the housing accommodates the outer ring of the insert bearing, permitting compensation for initial static misalignment of the shaft. This makes the P 207 an excellent and cost-effective solution for a multitude of mechanical applications.
Key Features of the P 207 Housing
- Durable Cast Iron Construction: Offers high strength, rigidity, and excellent vibration damping for stable operation.
- Two-Bolt Mounting: Simplifies the installation process, allowing for quick and secure attachment to support surfaces.
- Relubrication Facility: Includes a grease nipple for convenient and periodic maintenance, ensuring optimal bearing performance and longevity.
- Self-Aligning Capability: The spherical inner surface allows the housed insert bearing to pivot, compensating for initial shaft misalignment.
- Standardized Dimensions: Designed to industry standards for full interchangeability with other manufacturers' P 207 units.
- Compatibility: Perfectly suited for use with 207 series insert bearings (e.g., UC 207, UK 207) for 35mm shafts.
Common Applications of P 207 Pillow Blocks
- Conveyor Systems: Provides essential support for conveyor rollers and drive shafts, ensuring smooth material flow.
- Agricultural Machinery: Widely used in equipment such as harvesters, seeders, and bailers where robust shaft support is critical.
- HVAC Systems: Ideal for supporting fan and blower shafts in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning units.
- Food and Beverage Processing: Suitable for use in processing lines, packaging machines, and bottling equipment.
- Industrial Fans and Blowers: Ensures stable rotation in air-handling units and industrial ventilation systems.
- Textile Machinery: Applied in looms, spinning machines, and other textile equipment to support rotating components.
- Packaging Equipment: A common component in automated packaging lines and material handling machinery.
Benefits of Using the P 207 Housing
- Enhanced Equipment Reliability: Provides a rigid and secure mount for bearings, reducing wear and preventing premature failure.
- Simplified Assembly: The integrated housing and straightforward mounting design reduce installation time and complexity.
- Increased Bearing Lifespan: Protects the insert bearing from contaminants and structural stress, extending its operational life.
- Cost-Effective Maintenance: The ability to replace only the insert bearing, rather than the entire unit, lowers long-term maintenance costs.
- Versatile Use: Adaptable to a broad spectrum of light to medium-duty industrial and commercial applications.
- Improved Performance: Reduces vibration and noise by providing a stable foundation for the rotating shaft assembly.
