Pillow block bearings are an important part of mechanical drives and are used in virtually all industries. Understanding how they are made, installed, and maintained are essential skills that future industrial mechanics must master.

The Pillow Block Bearings panel includes ten housings with stainless steel rolling bearings that can be swiveled to compensate for slight shaft misalignment. A setscrew is provided to hold the inserted shaft in place.

The rolling bearing is pre-lubricated for life under normal operating conditions. For learning purposes, grease can be pushed-in through a nipple during re-lubrication using a grease gun. Pillow block bearings are required in most experiments and are stored on a panel for identification and inventory control. The panel has handles for moving and positioning. One Pillow Block Bearings Panel is required with each Workstation.
