Plain Linear Pillow Block Bearings
PWNC (Inch) Twin Open Compensated Plain Linear Bearing Pillow Block

Lee combines an open compensated Simplicity® Linear Plain Bearing with a self-aligning housing to create the PWNC Twin Open Compensated Plain Linear Bearing Pillow Block. This is the imperial (inch), open, double-length version of the bearing, designed for greater flexibility along imperfect shafts. The open design allows for fully supported shafts and support rails to be used for greater rigidity, making it a popular choice in North America. The pillow block offers several additional features and benefits.
