Two-bearing housings, PD series
SKF two-bearing housings were originally developed for fan shafts with an overhung impeller, but are also suitable for other applications with similar shaft arrangements.
Compared to the conventional shaft arrangement where two self-aligning bearings are mounted in separate plummer (pillow) block housings, two-bearing housings provide several advantages including improved running accuracy and quieter operation.
PD two-bearing housings can also be supplied as ready-to-mount units.
