Rexnord ZEP F pillow block bearings are mounted units: they combine the bearing and the housing in a single piece ready to bolt to the structure. They are used to support rotating shafts in equipment where rigidity, good alignment and protection against contamination are required. MR Accesorios Industriales sells them in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and advises you on choosing the correct size for your application.

The designation is read in blocks. The letters ZEP identify the pillow block bearing family; the four digits that follow combine the shaft size and the housing type, and the final F indicates the mounting variant of the assembly. That is why ZEP2206F, ZEP2207F and ZEP2208F share the same format but change size, while ZEP2300F and ZEP2303F correspond to another dimensional combination within the same line. To confirm your case, send us the complete part number.

These pillow blocks appear in belt conveyors, bucket elevators, mixers, mills, screens and process equipment. In food, cement, mining and aggregate processing plants they are common because the pillow block housing absorbs radial loads and some axial thrust without the need to machine a special seat. They are also found in bottling lines, effluent treatment plants and materials handling equipment in general.

To select correctly, look at the shaft diameter, the type of load and the direction of rotation. The final F defines how the bearing is fixed to the shaft: verify that the locking system is suitable for your mounting. Check the sealing according to the environment: dust, water or frequent washing require tighter barriers. Lubrication must be the one indicated for the working temperature, and aligning the housing with the shaft avoids stress and extends the life of the assembly.

Regarding interchangeability, mounted bearings are compared by shaft dimensions, hole spacing, height to center and locking type. Brands such as SKF, NSK, Timken or Dodge offer functional equivalents, but it is advisable to verify each dimension before replacing.
