Pedestal bearing or Plummer block. It is a split type of bearing. This type of bearing is used for higher speeds, heavy loads and large sizes.
The component of the bearing:
Cast iron pedestal or block with a sole
Brass or gun-metal or phosphorus-bronze “Brasses”, bushes or steps made in two halves.
Cast iron cap.
Two mild steel bolts and nuts.
Care is taken that the brasses do not move axially nor are allowed to rotate. For preventing this rotation , usually a snug at the bottom fitting inside a recess at the bottom of the pedestal is provided.
This bearing facilitates the placements and removal of the of the shaft from the bearing. Unlike the solid bearing which are to be inserted end-wise and hence are kept near the ends of the shaft, these can be placed anywhere. This bearing ensures a perfect adjustment for wear in the brasses by screwing the cap
