igubal pillow block bearings

lubrication-free, lightweight and versatile

igubal® pillow block bearings are up to 40 % more cost-effective and up to 80 % lighter than comparable metallic solutions. These maintenance-free bearings have high durability and rigidity, even under demanding environmental conditions and over many years. They are corrosion-free and even work in liquids and other media. UV radiation, radioactive radiation and temperatures between -30 °C and +80 °C do not affect their running properties and wear resistance. They are also resistant to dust and dirt.

Our standard pillow block bearing range is designed for shaft diameters from 5 mm to 50 mm, with a tolerance of h6 to h9 to ensure a precise fit and optimum performance. For special applications, such as the tracking of solar modules that require a larger mount, we offer pillow block bearings with a square profile mount that is suitable for sizes up to 150 mm to fulfil even more demanding design requirements.

The spherical spherical ball enables automatic angular compensation, which compensates for misalignment, edge loads, misalignment and shaft deflection. In contrast to metallic bearings, they are also able to absorb high-frequency vibrations and have a vibration-damping effect.

Areas of application

Thanks to their spherical adjustability, igubal®-pillow block bearings are ideal for compensating for misalignment, misalignment and deflection of shafts. The main areas of use are therefore applications in which such effects cannot be prevented by design.

Mounting

igubal®-pillow block bearings are designed for mounting with two screws. Precise alignment of the bearing housing is not necessary as the spherical plain bearing automatically compensates for misalignment.

Tolerances

maintenance-free igubal®-pillow block bearings are designed with an inner diameter tolerance of E10. The shaft should be tolerated between h6 and h9. The bearing clearance can compensate for expansion of the bearing when heated.

product range

igubal®-pillow block bearings are available in the dimensional series K andE for shaft diameters from 5 to 50 mm. The dimensional series K is also available in inch dimensions. Please contact us for further dimensions.

When do I use them?

When chemical resistance is desired
When a cost-effective alternative is required
When dirt-resistant bearings are required
When misalignments need to be compensated
When completely split components are required

When should I not use them?

When temperatures are above +80 °C
If an integrated fixing collar is required
If dimensions over 50 mm are required
If rotational speeds of over 0.5 m/s are to be realised

1:1 replacement possible

In addition to our plastic solutions for pillow block and flange bearings, you also have the option of using our plastic-spherical insert bearing in existing metal systems.

This guarantees a maintenance-free and long-lasting service life!
