Pillow blocks UCP210 are usually referred to the housings which have a bearing fitted into them and thus the user need not purchase the bearings separately. Pillow blocks are usually mounted in cleaner environments and generally are meant for lesser loads of general industry. 

Different types of bearing housings

1) Pillow blocks – these include UCP, HCP, UCLP, UKP, UCPX, and UKPX. 

These mounted bearings are used when support for a rotating shaft axis is required. Their design enables them to support the shaft in operations where the mounting surface is parallel to the shaft axis. 

2) Flange type includes UCF, HCF, UKF, UCFX, UKFX, UCFU, UCFC, UKFC, UCFS, UCFL, UKFL, UCFT. 

The flange type bearing housing comes in various shapes and styles such as square, round, and rhombus flange types. 

3) Take-up units type - UCT, HCT, and UKT. 

These bearing housings have an inner surface which is concave sphered hence the bearing used has a convex sphered outer surface. They are designed to permit moderate initial misplacement. Widely used in conveyor chains and conveyor belts. A sliding slot at the side of the housing facilitates the free movement of the unit. 

4) Cartridge type – UCC, HCC, and UKC.
