Plumber Block Assembly

A Plumber Block is alsocalled as Pillow Block, orHoused Bearing Unit.

Ii is a pedestal used toprovide support for arotating shaft with the helpof compatible bearings &various accessories.

Housing material fora pillow block is typicallymade of cast iron or caststeel.

bearing top. Arrest the bearing movement through curve portion and face.


Plumber Block Assembly Step - 5: Insert bolt to the hole provide in body and cap using axial fit and flash fit

command.


Plumber Block Assembly Step - 6: Insert Nut in to the bolt using axial fit and arrest the movement of the

nut by flash fitting the bottom face of the nut to the top face of the cap.


Plumber Block Assembly Step - 7: Insert Lock Nut to the bolt using axial fit & arrest the movement of the

nuts by flash fitting the face of the nuts.


Plumber Block Assembly Step - 8: Using mirror command, first select reference plane and then select bolt,

nut and lock nut to mirror the parts to the other hole of the body.



Step - 9: Assembled Isometric view of the Plumber Block is as shown in the figure.
