Product Overview: The P 204 Pillow Block Bearing Housing
The P 204 is a robust and widely used pillow block housing unit, an essential component in our Bearing Housing collection. As part of the popular P 200 Series, this housing is designed to be paired with a compatible insert bearing, most commonly the UC 204, to support a rotating 20mm diameter shaft. Manufactured from high-strength cast iron, the P 204 provides a reliable and rigid mounting solution for a vast range of industrial and agricultural applications. Its two-bolt base design allows for simple and secure installation on flat surfaces.
This housing unit features a spherical inner surface that allows the inserted bearing to make initial self-alignments, compensating for any minor shaft-to-housing misalignment. A built-in grease nipple facilitates easy relubrication, ensuring a long and trouble-free service life for the bearing. As a leading supplier of industrial mechanical parts, we ensure our P 204 housings meet industry standards for interchangeability and performance.
