One-Piece Pedestal Housings
Designed to carry a modern high capacity spherical roller bearing, the unit is cast in one piece with separate end covers. The housing is designed for strength and durability and is most commonly used in high energy and shock applications were a split plummer block unit will be limited in strength.
Design features include four bolt foot mounting, a strengthening rib around the centre of the housing and availability of cast steel or good quality grey iron. Centre heights are generally interchangeable with split blocks for substitution purposes.
The range of housings accommodate shafts from 40mm to 150mm with any combination of through shaft or blank end cover and parallel or taper bore bearings. The units can be set up as locating or floating assemblies as required.
The pedestal housing is provided with felt seals as standard for operation with peripheral speeds of up to 4m/s. For higher speeds and for extreme protection, labyrinth seals can be provided.
The housings are designed for grease lubrication. T&T are happy to provide greasing recommendations and maintenance instructions.
