LEP Engineering Plastics manufactures an extensive range of thermoplastic inserts for cast iron bearing housings. These bearings are easily fitted, self-aligning and are typically used where bearing loads and speeds are relatively low, allowing them to often run completely unlubricated.
Pillow block inserts are generally moulded in uhmwpe (ultra-high molecular-weight polyethylene), making them ideal for use in watery environments and food applications. All inserts are pilot-bored or can be machined to a specific size on request. Both metric and imperial sizes are available.
