Twin Linear Pillow Block Ball Bearing

Twin Linear Ball Bearing Pillow Blocks - Closed

Double linear ball bearing pillow blocks place two standard-size linear ball bearings back to back inside a single aluminum alloy housing. Heat-treated alloy steel bearing shells, recirculating hardened steel balls, and resin retainers provide durable, low-friction motion with reduced operating noise. The increased bearing span provides greater load support and stability than a single bearing arrangement, making these pillow blocks well suited to cantilever, overhung-load, and offset-load applications. Linear ball bearings also tolerate drive forces without the same 2:1 binding limitation that applies to plain linear bearings. IPPW Series pillow blocks use standard closed linear ball bearings for end-supported round shafts, while IPPSW Precision Plus® versions add self-alignment through floating internal ball raceways that can shift slightly to accommodate minor shaft and housing misalignment while maintaining smooth rolling contact. Double seals are included as standard for contaminant protection, and IPPSW versions include two grease zerk fittings for lubrication access.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a cantilevered load?
A cantilevered load is supported from one side while extending outward from the bearing or support structure. This creates a moment that tries to rotate or tip the bearing assembly.
What is an offset load?
An offset load acts away from the bearing centerline instead of directly through it. The offset creates a moment and can increase the risk of binding in some linear bearing systems.
What is an overhung load?
An overhung load is positioned beyond the bearing or support point, so the load extends outward and creates a turning moment on the bearing assembly.
What is the difference between cantilevered, offset, and overhung loads?
Cantilevered and overhung loads both describe loads that extend outward from their support and create a moment. Offset load is a broader term for any load or drive force that acts away from the bearing centerline. A cantilevered or overhung load is therefore often also an offset load.
