The BOWER EPB series pillow block housing is a cast iron housing designed to mount bearings in applications where the shaft runs parallel to the mounting base. It is bolted to a horizontal surface and supports the bearing by means of an eccentric locking collar system. It is a robust solution for drive equipment that requires stable alignment and easy maintenance in the plant.
The EPB series designation is read in blocks: the letters identify the pillow block housing type, the first number indicates the number of mounting bolts and the second group indicates the housing size. For example, EPB2-107 corresponds to a two-bolt housing for a 1 7/16" shaft, while EPB4-215 is a four-bolt housing for a 2 15/16" shaft. The numeric suffixes allow you to quickly locate the combination of mounting and diameter.
These housings are used in belt conveyors, bucket elevators, mixers, mills and process equipment in the food, cement, mining and material handling industries. In Argentina they are common in grain storage plants, meat processing plants and animal feed factories, where the environment demands protection against dust and moisture. Their flat base facilitates mounting on steel or concrete structures.
To select the housing, check the shaft diameter, the radial load and its direction. Mounting requires aligning the housing with the shaft and adjusting the eccentric collar according to the direction of rotation. Lubrication must be consistent with the housed bearing and the sealing must be chosen according to the level of contamination. A well-leveled base and correctly torqued bolts prevent vibration and premature wear.
Type E pillow block housings are interchangeable between brands according to the mounting standard and main dimensions. When replacing a housing, compare the distance between bolts, the height to the shaft center and the housing diameter. If you have the part number from another brand, at MR Accesorios Industriales we will indicate the compatible equivalent so the replacement is direct.
MR Accesorios Industriales sells the BOWER line of pillow block housings for industrial applications. If you need an EPB housing for your equipment, send us the part number or shaft dimensions by WhatsApp and we will quote it promptly.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the designation EPB2-107 mean?
- EPB indicates a type E pillow block housing. The 2 indicates it has two mounting bolts and 107 corresponds to the housing size for a 1 7/16 inch shaft. The other part numbers in the series follow the same logic.
- How do I choose between a two-bolt or four-bolt housing?
- The choice depends on the load and available space. Four-bolt housings offer greater stability under high loads or vibration. Two-bolt housings simplify mounting in tight spaces. Always check the distance between holes and the height to the center.
- What bearing does the EPB housing take?
- The EPB housing takes bearings with an eccentric locking collar, typical of the Type E line. To define the exact bearing, send us the housing part number or shaft dimensions and we will quote the complete assembly.
