Pillow block bearings, flange bearing units, and take-up bearings units all consist of a housing with a bearing mounted in it. They are available in a variety of materials, mounting configurations and various bearing features. Each mounted unit acts as a system to position the bearing securely for reliable operation.

Insert Bearings for Mounted Bearings

Asia Bearing offers two types of insert bearings designed for use in mounted bearing units. Simplistically, they are divided by size with the smaller, miniature insert bearings called “collar clamp ball bearings” and the larger ones called the ER Series insert bearings:

► Collar Clamp Ball Bearings (miniature insert bearings)
► Insert Bearings (ER Series)

Flanged Mounted Bearing Units

While other configurations are available from Asia Bearing Bearings upon special order, the most common flanged mounted bearing units are either two-bolt or four-bolt designs. Small two-bolt designs are commonly called flangettes but are of a totally different construction and design to the heavier duty Two-bolt flange series. Click on the hyperlinks of the below to learn more each type of flanged mounted bearing units:

► Flangettes (miniature 2-bolt flanges)
► Two-bolt Flanges
► Three-bolt Flanges
► Four-bolt Flanges

Axially Opposed Mounted Bearing Units

While the flanged mounted bearing units above have the axial/shaft perpendicular to the mounting surface, the units below have the shaft running parallel to the mounting surface. Click on each of the series below to learn more about each type:

► Pillow Block Mounted Bearing Units (aka plumber block units)
► Take-Up Bearing Units
► Tapped-Base Pillow Blocks

Flanged Ball Bearings (Non-mounted)

Examples of Ball Bearings with built-in flangesBesides the mounted flanged bearing units above, many ball bearings have flanges as options to their configurations to aid in mounting and positioning. This is especially true for miniature and instrument bearings but applies to other ball bearing types.
