PGN UCP205-16 (2 Pack) Pillow Block Bearing - 1" Bore Self-Aligning

I got these a to replace the cheap pillow bearings that wear out every other year on my swamp/evaporative cooler. They were wide enough to fit on the rail in my mastercool (1.5" wide), and a drill bit away from having new bolt holes. It made the squirrel cage about 1/4" higher, but no issues with airflow from that. My cooler only spins at a max of 2100rpms which is far below the max these are rated at. All that I added were the M10 bolts and nylock nuts. I'll update this review over time and if anything changes. For my cooler upgrade application: Pros: - 2 grub set screws per bearing - Pre aligned bores - grease zerk with protective caps (will see how long those last) - Sealed pillow bearings on each side so the grease doesn't just fling out - Nicely machined 1" bore - Pre greased Cons: - No additional hardware Other: - Because I was using these in a very different application, not surprised bolt holes didn't line up with old cheap swamp cooler pillow bearings. So this means you'll need to drill some holes in your rail to make it fit with proper bolts.

I purchased a two pack of these pillow block bearings for a flat sander project that I had just finish designing and I am now in the process of building. I am always amazed at these bearings and how well they work and how cost-effective they are I have mounted up my large 22" long contact Drum between two of these bearings and they run smooth as silk. The bearings seem to be very well built and are double sealed and should hold up well in this application I have used similar bearings from this company before and they have lasted a long time. I highly recommend these bearings and would use them again. Thank you

These are excellent for replacing swamp cooler sleeve pillow bearings. You may have to drill new holes depending on your cooler, but it's well worth it. Grease fittings make seasonal maintenance easy.

Good little pillar blocks for the price.

I’m using this for a project that I’m working on, and really impressed by the weight, quality, smoothness and precision at such a good price. It fits and performs great with 3/4” EMT. Just be sure to alight it properly and use the clamping screws.

Good

Evaporative cooler blower bearings are bronze sleeve type with the shaft forming the other bearing surface. It required monthly oiling and since there isn't a dirt seal, the bearing wear out after a year's use. Replacements are about $16 a pair. These bearings are ball bearing type, grease every couple months, have seals and will last many years. They are not bolt-in replacement, but worth the effort. At this price, the manufacturer should build this way.

Fit and finish is great. Bearing seal is quality. These are self aligning spherical bearings so they might arrive misaligned relative to the mount. These do not use a standard radial bearing. The majority of those giving single Star rating complained about the bearing being misaligned. They didn't know what they were buying. If misaligned, put your shaft in the pillow block and tap the base block into the correct position. They are sold in pairs because they are used in pairs.

Fit perfectly and seem to hold up so far.

fonctionne très bien, bien contente pour mon achat

Good solid block no problems seems well made

Great price all measurements dead on. Greaseable bearings should last a long time.

I really like the fact they can be greased . Used them to build a flat bar roller
