The Orion Engineered Seals patented Bearing Protection Device (BPD) represents state of the art bearing protection technology and is the premier non-contacting bearing protection device offered. The BPD was designed with an understanding of the nature of the bearing housing environment under all operating conditions and utilizes the laws of physics to create what has proven to be the best performing and most cost effective way to protect the bearings of your rotating equipment.
A pillow block bearing is made up of two components: a mounting bracket (pillow block), and the bearing itself, housed in the mounting bracket. These are usually used in low-torque, light-load applications.
