Pillow blocks tolerate misalignment
Single roller bearing pillow block are suitable for standard linear movements or where there is a severe shaft deflection.
Rino Industries has released single, twin and double roller bearing pillow blocks that are adjustable to allow easy radial clearance Single units are self-aligning

HPC Drives, of Chesterfield, have developed an on-line version of its 578-page catalogue of mechanical drive components at, www.ondrives.com.
In most applications, the double and twin models also either match or exceed the tolerances for misalignment offered by the recirculating ball pillow block.
They offer good corrosion resistance, with an aluminium body a black oxide finish on the exposed surfaces to resist corrosion.
The range offers higher speeds, interchangeability and longer lifetimes.
They are also rebuildable, have low friction properties, are lubricated with a Lithium-based grease and are sealed.
Operating temperatures are are 60 up to 121C.
Options include scrapers for excessively dirty environments, floating pillow blocks for shafts that are not parallel, top grease plates that re-grease where applications using extreme temperatures or high speeds prevail and pillow block rebuild kits.
Single units are suitable for standard linear movements or where there is a severe shaft deflection.
Doubles have twice the dynamic load rating of single units and can be mounted in place of the singles in most applications due to similar mounting footprint.
They provide suit applications that were under-engineered and now require a greater load capacity pillow block to fit into the same area.
Twin pillow blocks have the same dynamic load rating as the doubles and are a good choice when using only one pillow block per shaft or in applications used to cantilever load or moment.
The twin model offers an additional pair of mounting holes.
