Pillow Blocks - Plane Bearings

PBC Linear has combined the Frelon material with precision bearing technology to create the Simplicity® linear plane bearing and then placed that bearing inside of a patented housing to create a Self-Aligning, Plane Bearing Pillow Block.  “Simplicity” means quality, performance, and lower maintenance costs.  The Frelon liners are bonded to the bearing shell at the molecular level.  This configuration transfers the load and dissipates heat throughout the bearing.  It also allows the bearing to move in linear, oscillating, rotary, or any combination of motions.  Made to thrive and survive in the presence of contaminants, the self-lubricating liners offer a number of other desirable features:

• Patented Self-Aligning Design
• The ability to absorb hard particulates eliminates galling and shaft damage
• Vibration is dampened, offering smooth and quiet linear motion
• Shock loads are absorbed without damage to components
• Reliable friction characteristics that do not increase over the life of the bearing
• Close fit and wiping action cleans the shafting and eliminates the need for seals in 90% of applications
• They will not catastrophically fail.
• Optional Lubrication Port
• Also available with optional stainless steel shell for the most severe environments.

PBC Linear combines a standard Simplicity® Linear Plane Bearing with a patented Self Aligning housing to create a Pillow Block.  This is the Imperial (Inch), closed, single length version of the bearing.  The closed bearing design allows for a lower cost installation by using end supported shafts.  Additional features and benefits include:

• ID sizes range from 1/4” to 2”
• Static Load Capacities up to 25,000 lb (111,000 N)
• Self Lubricating for oil free operation

PBC Linear combines a standard Simplicity® Linear Plane Bearing with a patented Self Aligning housing to create a Pillow Block.  This is the ISO Metric, closed, single length version of the bearing.  The closed bearing design allows for a lower cost installation by using end supported shafts.  Additional features and benefits include:

• ID sizes range from 8 mm to 50 mm
• Static Load Capacities up to 103,000 N (23,100 lb)
• Self Lubricating for oil free operation

PBC Linear combines a standard Simplicity® Linear Plane Bearing with a patented Self Aligning housing to create a Pillow Block.  This is the Imperial (Inch), closed, double length version of the bearing. Additional features and benefits include: 

• ID sizes range from 1/4” to 2”
• Static Load Capacities up to 50,000 lb (222,000 N)
• Self Lubricating for oil free operation

PBC Linear combines a standard Simplicity® Linear Plane Bearing with a patented Self Aligning housing to create a Pillow Block.  This is the Imperial (Inch), open, single length version of the bearing.  The open design allows for fully supported shafts and support rail to be used for greater rigidity. Additional features and benefits include: 

• ID sizes range from 1/2” to 2”
• Static Load Capacities up to 25,000 lb (111,000 N)
• Self Lubricating for oil free operation
