Pillow Block Bearing is a robust, mounted bearing unit specifically designed for heavy-duty agricultural applications—such as large ventilation fans in swine barns. This assembly supports a rotating motor shaft and connects directly to the fan’s drive pulley, enabling reliable belt-driven operation.

• Cast-Iron Housing: Rugged and vibration-resistant, ideal for dusty and humid barn environments

• Ball Bearing Insert: Features a locking-collar mechanism (types UC/UCP/UCF) for secure shaft mounting and quick replacement

• One-Piece Design: Accommodates radial and axial loads with precision alignment maintained by cast slots

• Standard Bore Sizes: Typically available from ¾″ to 2″+ to match shaft diameters — commonly 1″ or 1¼″ for fan motors

• Grease-Fit Port: Lubrication point allows easy maintenance without disassembly

• Applications: Mounts to motor bases or fan headers; used extensively in swine and poultry barn fan assemblies — ideal for both replacement and retrofit. Hog Slat and similar vendors offer kits converting sealed fans to pillow-block units for long-lasting performance
