Bearing Pedestals
Description
SAFQ inch-series Cooper Quick-Change angled bearing pedestals offer quick change-out replacements for industry-standard pillow block housings. Units feature a unique split design that enables easy assembly around a fixed shaft.
The SAFQ Series pedestals are available for shafts with diameters from 2-3/16 to 5-5/16-in. and join the SNQ and SDQ metric series of Cooper brand solutions as practical and time-saving alternatives to standard pillow-block housings (SAF500, SN500, and SD3100 series). All integrate standard Cooper 01, 01E, 02, or 02E split-to-the-shaft bearings and are interchangeable with other Cooper split roller bearing pedestals.
Among key pedestal advantages, the split-to-the-shaft roller bearings simplify disassembly and reduce time needed for installation, changeover, and inspection; an exclusive Aluminum Triple Labyrinth seal remains concentric and rotating on the shaft to prevent ingress of contaminants, even under water; spherical cartridge and pedestal design compensate for misalignment; a clamped inner race protects against shaft wear and the absence of set screws prevents shaft damage; and a polished outer race and rollers allow for dynamic axial expansion to minimize resistance and stress on other components.
