SS-316 Compact Pillow Block Bearing Units
316 stainless steel tapped base pillow block bearing
These EXC pillow block bearings can be secured vertically or horizontally to support rotating shafts. In comparison to the EXS washdown pillow block bearing, this design is more compact and therefore more suitable in tight spaces. The housing is made of stainless steel (grade 316) which is rustproof and resistant to corrosion from seawater. It is also resistant to all cleaning products and chemicals. The rounded corners and smooth surfaces make these units very easy to clean.

Attention: two mounting-hole pitch sizes on the market
When you are looking for a bearing block to replace, pay attention: there are two pitch sizes of the mounting holes on the market. You can see these sizes in the dimension table below for Type EXC and Type EXR.
For new installations we recommend type EXC: it is more standard and we keep more stock of it.
EXC
EXC is a bearing block whose mounting pitch corresponds to the SKF bearing blocks SYF..TF.
EXCR
EXCR is a bearing block whose mounting pitch corresponds to the INA bearing blocks PSHE..-N.

Load Directions for the EXC Compact Pillow Block Housing
Extreme pillow block bearings are intended for loads acting vertically towards the base plate support. Therefore, if the bearing housing is supported over its entire base, loads are limited only by the load limits of the bearing insert. If loads acting in other directions occur or if the housing is not supported over its entire base area, check that the magnitude of the load is permissible for the bolt assembly attached to the machine frame.
