Pillow Block Bearing PM40C 40mm Plain Linear Bearing + Housing, Closed, Compensated ID

ISO Metric 40mm ID Closed Pillow Block with a self-aligning housing, inside of which is a plain linear bearing with a straight outer diameter. The bearing's inner diameter (ID) is cut to maintain a compensated running clearance of 0.0015" per side, which can help to emphasize speed over precision, for instance.

    • Standard Width
    • Self-Lubricating Bearing Liner: FrelonGOLD® is standard
    • Optional liners include Frelon® J & Frelon® W (FDA compliant)
    • Anodized Aluminum Bearing Shell - Aluminum Alloy Housing
    • Temperature Rating: -400°F/+400°F or -240°C/204°C
