Cast Iron Housing Pillow Block Bearing

This CLESCO PBCH-BS-218 pillow block bearing uses a cast iron housing with steel components for power transmission applications. It suits maintenance teams and machinery builders who need a standard mounted bearing unit. The transparent finish allows visual inspection of the housing surface. Buyers needing corrosion-resistant housings or integrated sealing options not described here should look elsewhere.

Replaces Worn Mounted Bearing Units

The unit replaces a failed or worn pillow block bearing of the same mounting pattern and shaft size. The upgrade is worth it when the existing housing shows cracking, excessive wear, or when the bearing insert has seized. No performance figures or load ratings are supplied, so verify compatibility with the original equipment specifications before ordering.

Straightforward Bolt-On Installation

Installation involves bolting the cast iron housing to the machine frame and securing the bearing to the shaft with the supplied locking method. Common issues include misalignment during mounting, which shortens bearing life, and over-tightening base bolts, which can distort the housing. The product carries a California Proposition 65 warning for chemicals known to cause cancer and reproductive harm.

Questions about this item

What shaft diameter does the 218 series pillow block accept?

The 218 series is manufactured for a specific shaft size; verify the exact diameter against the CLESCO catalogue before ordering.

Which bolt pattern and base thickness match the cast iron housing for mounting?

Mounting holes and base dimensions follow the standard 218 series casting; cross-reference the CLESCO drawing to confirm hole centres and shim requirements.

When should the steel insert bearing inside the cast iron housing be replaced?

Replace the insert when seal wear, excessive radial play or noise appears; the housing can stay in place while only the bearing insert is swapped.
