Twin Plain Linear Bearing Pillow Block - PW04C 1/4″ Closed, Self-Aligning, Compensated

Twin plain linear bearing pillow block, closed, with a 1/4" compensated ID. This self-aligning mountable aluminum alloy pillow block bearing features an inserted Simplicity® plain bearing with a bonded, self-lubricating FrelonGOLD® liner for oil-free, maintenance-free motion through high temperatures, dirt, contamination, vibration, and shock loads. The twin body adds bearing surface, shaft support, and load-carrying capacity. For self-alignment, the inserted bearing can tilt slightly within the housing, compensating for up to 1/2° misalignment from centerline in all directions and helping reduce binding from minor shaft deflection or parallel shaft misalignment. Eight pre-positioned mounting holes allow direct fastening to machinery or support structures.

  • Closed shell for use on end-supported round shafts
  • Compensated ID running clearance: 0.0015" per side
  • Twin design resembles two standard blocks positioned end to end
  • Greater bearing surface for added shaft support and load-carrying capacity
  • Mountable aluminum alloy housing with 8 pre-positioned mounting holes
  • Inserted Simplicity® plain bearing with anodized aluminum shell
  • Self-lubricating FrelonGOLD® liner for maintenance-free harsh-duty operation
  • Bonded-liner design resists dirt, vibration, shock loads, and debris ingress
  • Temperature rating: -400°F/+400°F or -240°C/+204°C
  • Optional liners: chemical-resistant Frelon®J and FDA-compliant Frelon®W
  • Valuable when downtime replacement costs are more than the pillow block itself
