Plummer Block Housings – Precision Bearing Mounting Solutions

Here at Bolton Engineering Products Ltd, we have decades of experience in providing quality plummer block housings and bearing housing units built to provide robust support for your heavy duty applications.

These plummer block bearing housings have built to support shafts that are well-aligned as well as self-aligning bearings in high-load applications. We stock the entire range including SKF bearings and sleeves together with FAG steel, cast iron, and rubber housings both metric or inch size for your choice; all high precision, strong and work in the most demanding applications.

What Is a Plummer Block Housing?

Plummer blocks (pillow blocks) are cast-iron or steel housings in which anti-friction bearings can run as well as, in most cases, they can be used to mount the bearing with either a cylindrical or a tapered bore. The housings keep the bearing from contamination while keeping in lubricant, and they can be used with L3 or T3 torques.

They are commonly used in industries requiring reliable shaft support and alignment, such as:

  • Manufacturing and material handling systems
  • Conveyor and power transmission applications
  • Pumps, fans, and blowers
  • Agricultural and construction machinery
  • Textile and paper processing equipment

Yes, they are dimensionally interchangeable, allowing you to pair SKF housings with compatible self-aligning or spherical roller bearings.

Q3: Do plummer block housings come pre-assembled?

Most are supplied as separate housings to be used with compatible bearings, seals, and lubrication accessories.

Q4: What maintenance is required for plummer block housings?

Regular lubrication and inspection of seals and fasteners are recommended for optimal bearing life and performance.
