The VTBB 200 pillow block is a mounted pillow block from the SEALMASTER line, designed to support rotating shafts in power transmission equipment. It is supplied with the insert bearing already mounted in the housing, which simplifies installation and ensures concentricity between the housing and the outer ring. It is a robust solution for applications requiring fixed support with self-aligning capability and protection against contaminants, widely used in Argentine industry.
The VTBB 200 designation identifies the series of pillow blocks with insert bearing. In the examples VTBB-220S and VTBB-232S, the number after the hyphen indicates the nominal shaft diameter: 220 for 20 mm and 232 for 32 mm. The suffix S indicates the presence of reinforced sealing in the insert, aimed at retaining lubricant and blocking the entry of dust and moisture. This nomenclature allows you to order the pillow block by complete part number, ensuring you receive the correct size for your shaft.
In Argentine industry, these pillow blocks appear in belt conveyors, bucket elevators, mixers, mills and process equipment in food, chemical and aggregate plants. They are also found in woodworking, textile and bottling machines. Their pillow block housing allows mounting to a frame with two bolts, and the self-aligning insert compensates for small shaft misalignments, reducing vibration and extending the service life of the assembly.
To select the pillow block, verify the shaft diameter and the type of load: predominantly radial in power transmission applications. The S sealing is advisable in environments with dust, water or frequent washdowns. During mounting, rest the base on a flat, rigid surface, tighten the mounting bolts and verify that the shaft turns without effort. The insert lubrication comes from the factory; in service, follow the maintenance plan with compatible grease. Correct alignment prevents parasitic axial loads.
SEALMASTER VTBB 200 pillow blocks are interchangeable with mounted bearings from other brands of equivalent dimensions, such as SKF, FAG, NTN or Timken, provided the shaft diameter, center height and mounting hole spacing match. When requesting a quote, indicate the complete part number and, if possible, the main dimensions. At MR Accesorios Industriales we advise you to find the compatible alternative or the special manufacturing you need.
