Description

When you’re setting up new equipment or replacing a worn-out bearing housing on an existing piece, you need something that’ll bolt up right and keep things running smooth. This cast iron pillow block housing is built to handle the everyday punishment of farm work—from the constant vibration of implements to the dirt and moisture that finds its way into everything.

Key Features

Four-bolt mounting pattern provides rock-solid stability for heavy-duty applications
Cast iron construction stands up to weather, impacts, and years of field use
Designed to accept standard 1-5/8 inch insert bearings with set screws
Wide inner race compatibility lets you use either narrow or wide series bearings
Grease fitting access keeps your bearing properly lubricated

Built for Real Farm Work

This housing works on a wide variety of farm equipment where you need a reliable bearing support—auger drives, conveyor systems, PTO shafts, and custom applications. The four-bolt pattern distributes loads better than two-bolt housings, making it ideal for equipment that sees heavy use or operates in tough conditions. Whether you’re building a grain handling system or retrofitting an older piece of equipment, this housing gives you the solid foundation your bearings need.

Made to Last

Cast iron has been the go-to material for bearing housings for good reason—it dampens vibration, resists wear, and handles temperature changes without cracking. The precision-machined bore ensures your insert bearing fits properly and stays aligned, while the robust mounting flanges won’t flex under load.

Installation Notes

This housing accepts any standard 1-5/8 inch insert bearing, so you can choose set screw or eccentric collar types depending on your application. Make sure your mounting surface is flat and solid—a flexing mount will cause premature bearing failure. Don’t forget to install a grease fitting if your bearing is the greasable type.
