Description
Product Overview
The Timken SAS1 15/16 pillow block bearing is engineered for the most demanding industrial applications where reliability, durability, and ease of maintenance are paramount. Housed in a robust cast‑iron shell, the bearing provides exceptional resistance to wear, corrosion, and mechanical shock. Inside the housing, a single row of double rubber‑sealed steel balls delivers smooth, low‑friction rotation while protecting the internal components from contaminants. The design incorporates two precisely drilled bolt holes that allow secure mounting in confined spaces, ensuring the bearing can be installed on a variety of equipment without compromising alignment. An extended inner ring adds extra shaft support, reducing deflection and extending service life. A stainless‑steel grease fitting is integrated directly into the housing, enabling quick relubrication without disassembly, which minimizes downtime and maintenance costs. The setscrew locking collar further secures the bearing to the shaft, preventing axial movement even under heavy loads. Overall, the SAS1 15/16 model blends classic Timken engineering with modern features to meet the needs of power transmission, material handling, and automation systems.
Usage
This pillow block bearing excels in environments where space is limited but performance cannot be compromised. It is ideally suited for conveyor systems, gearboxes, agricultural machinery, and mining equipment that operate under continuous load and exposure to dust, moisture, and temperature fluctuations. The cast‑iron housing dissipates heat efficiently, making it appropriate for high‑speed applications such as motor drives and pump shafts. The two‑bolt mounting configuration allows installation on uneven or irregular frames, providing flexibility for retrofits and custom machinery designs. Because the bearing is relubricatable, it can be serviced on‑site, which is especially valuable in remote industrial sites where spare parts inventory is limited. The stainless‑steel grease fitting ensures compatibility with a wide range of industrial greases, allowing users to select the lubricant that best matches their operating conditions, whether that be high‑temperature synthetic greases or heavy‑load mineral oils. In short, the SAS1 15/16 pillow block bearing is a versatile component for any system that demands reliable shaft support, easy maintenance, and long‑term durability.

FAQ
What size shaft does the SAS1 15/16 bearing accept?
The bearing is designed for a 1‑15/16 inch (49.5 mm) bore diameter, making it compatible with standard industrial shafts in that size range.
Can the bearing be used in high‑temperature environments?
Yes. The cast‑iron housing and sealed ball set are rated for temperatures up to 200 °F (93 °C). For higher temperatures, select a compatible high‑temperature grease through the stainless‑steel fitting.
How often should the bearing be relubricated?
Relubrication intervals depend on load, speed, and operating conditions. As a general guideline, inspect the bearing every 6‑12 months and re‑grease if you notice increased noise, temperature rise, or reduced performance.
Is the bearing compatible with both metric and imperial equipment?
While the bore size is specified in inches, the bearing can be mounted on shafts that conform to either metric or imperial standards, provided the shaft diameter matches the 1‑15/16 inch bore.
What warranty does Timken provide for this pillow block bearing?
Timken offers a limited one‑year warranty covering defects in material or workmanship, along with access to technical support and replacement parts during the warranty period.
