PGN UCP205-16 Pillow Block Bearing - Pack of 2 Mounted Pillow Block Bearings - Chrome Steel Bearings with 1 Bore - Self Alignment

They worked

Just what was needed to complete project. Thank you.

I took a chance on these based on reviews that mentioned these bearings are self-aligning. Perhaps they are, but the hole bored through the casting that the bearing is pressed into is obviously bored at an angle relative to the rest of the casting and not in line with the mounting holes. I would either need to mount the casting at an angle or hope the self-aligning internal ring of the bearing did not cause ball bearings to run out of the internal raceway causing wear and premature failure. Pulling and replacing bearings is chore enough without worrying about doing it again sooner than necessary due to early failure of the part you are installing. I decided Im not risking it and returned them. Other than that, they appear to be of good quality and, if you can mount them slightly offset so the actual bearing itself is in line with the shaft, would probably work for you just fine. I dont have room to offset these on my brackets, so they are on their way back for a refund. I would be willing to try these again if I could confirm that they are being machined correctly or if I had an application with a little room to mount them at a slight angle.

Evaporative cooler blower bearings are bronze sleeve type with the shaft forming the other bearing surface. It required monthly oiling and since there isnt a dirt seal, the bearing wear out after a years 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.

Worked perfectly for shop fan.

Excellent heavy built product.

I have two sets of 1” under a heavy load and they are solid

1inner bore that doesnt fit 1 diameter rods.

Worked as should,fit as should

They fit! That is all that matters!
