A UKPX pillow block pairs a cast iron housing with a UK series insert bearing. Two bolts hold the housing to the base, while a taper sleeve grips the shaft, so fitting and later removal are straightforward. Belt conveyors and similar power transmission drives rely on this arrangement when the support has to absorb minor misalignment on its own.

Reading the code is the quickest way to confirm fit. The letters point to a pillow block built around a UK insert; the two digits that follow give the shaft size in millimeters. UKPX05 takes a 25 mm shaft, UKPX06 a 30 mm, UKPX07 a 35 mm, UKPX08 a 40 mm, UKPX09 a 45 mm, UKPX10 a 50 mm, UKPX11 a 55 mm and UKPX12 a 60 mm, with the pattern continuing by code. Where the code carries a D1 suffix, that marks a sealing variant, and the matching H sleeve (H2305X, H2306X and so on) is what lets the unit sit on a commercially toleranced shaft.

Typical duty covers belt conveyors, bucket elevators, mills, mixers and process lines in food, chemical and aggregate operations. The gray cast iron housing carries moderate radial and axial loads, and because the insert can self-align, small differences in height between two supports do not have to be shimmed out. The insert seal keeps dust and moisture away from the rolling elements; where water or washdown is routine, a version with a second seal is the better choice.

Selection comes down to shaft diameter and load type. Shafts at h9 tolerance or looser suit the H taper sleeve. Grease is lithium based from the factory, and the fitting on the housing is the regreasing point. During installation, line up the bolt holes, then tighten the sleeve with its lock nut.

Pillow blocks from other makers that also use an insert bearing with a taper sleeve, such as SKF, FAG or NTN, can be swapped in provided the main dimensions and the fixing method line up. Send the code from another brand and we will quote it, suggesting a compatible option when needed. Split plummer block housings and special parts to drawing are also produced by MR.
