Split plummer (pillow) block housings
The main benefit of split plummer (pillow) block
housings († fig. 5) is that they can accommo-
date preassembled shafts. Also, these housings
simplify bearing inspections and maintenance
because the shaft does not need to be Fig. 6
disassembled.
The assortment of split plummer block
housings is provided in table 1 on page 30.
Application-specific housings are provided in
table 4 on page 34.

Non-split plummer (pillow) block housings
Non-split plummer (pillow) block housings
(† fig. 6) are preferred when there are heavy
loads acting in directions other than toward
the support surface. They are also used when
the housing has to be mounted from the end of
the shaft.
The assortment of non-split plummer block
housings is provided in table 2 on page 32.
Application-specific housings are provided in
table 4 on page 34.

allel to the shaft. The assortment of flanged
housings is provided in table 2 on page 32.
