Description
An 8mm bore pillow block bearing (e.g., the KP08) is a self-aligning, two-bolt housing with an 8mm inner diameter to mount onto a shaft, using set screws for secure attachment. The housing is often made of durable zinc alloy, providing a strong base for the chrome steel ball bearing insert which can compensate for misalignment and is widely used in machinery like conveyor systems and robotic systems.
Features
- 8mm Bore: The inner diameter of the bearing is 8mm, allowing it to fit snugly and be secured onto a shaft of the same diameter.
- Self-Aligning: The design allows for some degree of angular misalignment between the bearing and the shaft, making it suitable for applications where perfect alignment isn't guaranteed.
- Set Screw Locking: Two set screws are used to fix the bearing's inner ring to the shaft, providing a secure and reliable connection.
- Durable Housing: The housing is typically made from a robust zinc alloy or zinc-aluminum alloy, offering corrosion resistance, high strength, and long-term durability.
- Ball Bearing Insert: A pre-mounted ball bearing is integrated into the housing, featuring a stationary outer ring and a rotating inner ring.
- Two-Bolt Mounting: The housing features two bolt holes for mounting to a flat surface, providing stability and firm attachment.
- Sealing: Some models include a two-piece sealing system, with a washer and a reinforced rubber seal, plus an additional slinger, to protect the bearing from foreign matter.
