Fafnir RSAO 1 3/16 Pillow Block Bearing

The Fafnir RSAO 1 3/16 is a heavy-duty pillow block bearing unit designed for reliable performance in demanding industrial applications. Featuring an eccentric locking collar for secure shaft attachment, this bearing is constructed from durable cast iron housing with a ball bearing insert, providing excellent load-bearing capacity and resistance to misalignment. It is ideal for use in conveyor systems, agricultural machinery, fans, and other equipment requiring robust support for rotating shafts. Key benefits include easy installation, self-aligning capabilities, and a sealed design that protects against contaminants, extending service life and reducing maintenance needs. Compared to similar products like those from SKF or NTN, the Fafnir RSAO series offers superior heavy-duty construction for higher load applications, though it may be bulkier and require more space. Drawbacks include potential higher cost for premium materials and the need for periodic relubrication in harsh environments. This model supports shaft sizes of 1-3/16 inches, with dynamic load ratings up to 4900 pounds, making it suitable for moderate to high-speed operations in manufacturing and processing industries. Overall, it combines Timken's engineering expertise (Fafnir's parent company) for enhanced reliability and vibration resistance.
