Angled plummer block simplifies installation

Cooper Bearings' new SNQ pedestal plummer blocks for split roller bearings are angled. This simplifies fitting as the angled joint allows the pedestal to be slid under the shaft without the need for tools.

With the SNQ angled pedestal, bearing units are now even easier to fit as the angled joint allows the pedestal to be slid under the shaft without the need to raise this with a hoist or jack, reducing downtime.

Detailed design and the number of fixing bolts vary with the bearing series and size. This includes two bolt, four bolt, and large-bore options. Besides the SNQ range, Cooper offers pedestal ranges that allow direct replacement of SN, SD, and SAF pillow block units.

Besides pedestals and housings, Cooper’s full range of split roller bearings includes standard bearings such as cylindrical roller bearings and tapered roller bearings as well as special bearings including water-cooled bearings, flat thrust bearings, other solid bearings, high speed bearings, full row bearings and other special types, and large bearings over 600mm bore size.
