Product Overview: The P 212 Pillow Block Bearing Housing
The P 212 is a robust and widely used pillow block housing unit, an essential component in our Bearing Housing collection. As a key part of the P 200 Series, this housing is specifically designed to support a rotating shaft with a diameter of 60mm. It is most commonly paired with a UC 212 insert bearing, providing a complete mounted bearing solution that is simple to install and maintain. Constructed from high-strength cast iron, the P 212 offers excellent durability and stability for a wide range of industrial and agricultural applications.
These units are designed for mounting on flat surfaces and can accommodate initial static misalignment between the shaft and the housing. The inclusion of a grease nipple allows for easy relubrication, which is critical for extending the service life of the bearing. Our P 212 housings are manufactured to industry standards, ensuring reliable performance in demanding operational environments. Explore our full range of P Series housings to find the perfect solution for your machinery.
Key Features of the P 212 Housing
- Heavy-Duty Construction: Made from solid cast iron for high strength, rigidity, and vibration damping.
- Two-Bolt Mounting: Features two bolt holes in the base for secure and straightforward installation onto a flat surface.
- Relubrication Capability: Equipped with a grease nipple (zerk fitting) to allow for convenient and periodic relubrication of the insert bearing.
- Self-Aligning: The spherical inner surface of the housing accommodates a corresponding insert bearing, allowing for compensation of initial shaft misalignment.
- Standardized Dimensions: Manufactured to globally recognized standards, ensuring interchangeability with other brands.
- Shaft Compatibility: Precisely engineered to house an insert bearing for a 60mm shaft.
