Product Overview: The PA 204 Tapped Base Pillow Block Housing
The PA 204 is a compact and durable bearing housing unit, specifically designed for applications requiring mounting on a surface from underneath. As a key component in our PA 200 Series, this tapped base pillow block is engineered to securely house a 20mm shaft diameter insert bearing, most commonly the UC 204. Its cast iron construction ensures high strength and rigidity, providing stable support for rotating shafts in a wide range of industrial machinery. The tapped mounting holes in the base offer a unique and convenient mounting solution where through-bolts are not practical.
As a leading supplier of industrial Bearing Housing units and mechanical parts, we ensure that our PA 204 housings meet industry standards for reliability and performance. This unit simplifies machine design and assembly, making it a preferred choice for engineers and maintenance professionals.
