TSB Industrial Supply has operated for nearly two decades as a full service industrial products company primarily dealing in bearings. While the most popular type of bearing is the ball bearing, TSB provides a wide range of bearings, including miniature ball bearings, thrust bearings, cylindrical bearings, and pillow blocks.
Pillow blocks, also known as plummer block bearings, provide load support for rotating shafts. They can be easily mounted parallel to the axis of the shaft through mounting holes or slots in their base or feet. The external housing can use a wide range of bearing types, including ball, roller, or plain, depending on the needs of the industrial application for which the pillow block is being used.
Housing and bearing materials can likewise change depending on the needs of the project. Those interested in a low-cost solution can use pressed steel, but this material carries a lower load than many others. Many plastics are also used in pillow blocks for their toughness and resistance, as are traditional industrial metals like stainless steel and aluminum.
