The PA212.G RICH is a heavy-duty tapped-base pillow block housing, also known as a pedestal bearing housing, manufactured from high-quality gray cast iron. This housing is specifically designed to accommodate 212 series insert bearings, which typically feature a 60 mm bore diameter. The tapped-base configuration is an ideal solution for machinery where mounting space is restricted, as it allows the unit to be bolted from the bottom through threaded holes rather than using the wider side flanges found on standard pillow blocks. The rigid cast iron structure provides superior strength and excellent vibration dampening, ensuring stable operation for large-diameter shafts. The internal bore is precision-machined with a spherical seat to allow the insert bearing to self-align, compensating for potential shaft deflections or mounting misalignments. The ".G" designation signifies the presence of a grease nipple, allowing for easy re-lubrication to maintain optimal performance in heavy-duty industrial, agricultural, and material handling applications.
Transparency Note: This housing is manufactured under the RICH brand. The code PA212.G is used for identification purposes and does not imply affiliation with other manufacturers.
