New Design Pillow and Flange Blocks

Newly designed pillow blocks and flange blocks from LM76 feature a lubrication fitting and an alignment set screw. The Stainless Steel and self-aligning linear bearings are modified with an alignment flat ground on the bearings' outer shell and drilling a hole through the outer shell. Lubricants can then be pumped directly inside of linear ball bearing races without having to remove the bearing from the shaft.  The pillow and flange blocks also have been designed to accommodate an encapsulated ETX Scraper Seals that prevents contaminants from getting inside the bearing and retains the lubricant in the bearing.

 

The new design pillow blocks are available in closed single and double bearing models for inch sized shafts from 0.5 inches up to 2.00 inches and the flange blocks are available in single and double bearing models for inch sized shafts from 0.5 inches to 1.25 inches.  

 

The pillow blocks are available in untreated aluminum or with a FDA/USDA/3A-Dairy compliant corrosion resistant Electroless Nickel coating. LM76 also produces PTFE, filled PTFE, and ceramic bearing options as well as precision shafting.
