Product Overview: The PA 205 Tapped-Base Pillow Block Housing
The PA 205 is a compact and durable tapped-base pillow block housing unit, an essential component in our PA 200 Series of Bearing Housings. Specifically designed to accommodate a 25mm shaft insert bearing, such as the popular UC 205, this housing provides a secure and stable mounting solution. Its unique tapped-base design features threaded mounting holes on the bottom, making it ideal for applications where the unit must be fastened from underneath, offering a clean and space-saving installation.
Constructed typically from high-strength cast iron, the PA 205 housing is built to withstand demanding industrial environments. It effectively protects the enclosed bearing from contaminants and physical damage while providing a rigid support structure for the shaft. A grease nipple is included to allow for simple relubrication, ensuring a long and reliable service life for the entire assembly.
Key Features of the PA 205 Housing
- Tapped-Base Design: Features threaded holes for mounting from below, perfect for space-constrained applications.
- Robust Construction: Manufactured from high-grade cast iron for excellent durability, vibration damping, and strength.
- Compatibility: Designed to house standard 25mm bore insert bearings (e.g., UC 205, UK 205).
- Easy Maintenance: Equipped with a grease nipple for convenient and periodic relubrication of the bearing.
- Compact Profile: Offers a smaller footprint compared to standard pillow blocks, saving valuable mounting space.
- Shaft Support: Provides a rigid and secure base for the insert bearing, ensuring stable shaft rotation.
