A pillow block bearing (or plummer block) is a mounting used to support a rotating shaft with the use of bearings and various accessories. The assembly consists of a mounting block which houses a bearing. [1] The block is mounted to a foundation, and a shaft is inserted, allowing the inner part of the bearing/shaft to rotate. [1] The inside of ...
On a screw, the bearing area loosely refers to the underside of the head. [1] Strictly speaking, the bearing area refers to the area of the screw head that directly bears on the part being fastened. [2] For a cylindrical bearing, it is the projected area perpendicular to the applied force. [3]
The lower half of the main bearings are typically held in place by 'bearing caps' which are secured to the engine block using bolts. The basic arrangement is for each bearing cap to have two bolts, but some engines may have four or six bolts per bearing cap (often referred to as "four-bolt mains" or "six-bolt mains" engines).
A flanged bushing is a sleeve bushing with a flange at one end extending radially outward from the OD. The flange is used to positively locate the bushing when it is installed or to provide a thrust bearing surface. [9] Sleeve bearings of inch dimensions are almost exclusively dimensioned using the SAE numbering system.
Also called the GM small corporate pattern and the S10 pattern. This pattern has a distinctive odd-sided hexagonal shape. Rear wheel drive applications have the starter mounted on the right side of the block (when viewed from the flywheel) and on the opposite side of the block compared to front wheel drive installations.
Note: this is commonly called the Ford Small-block V8 pattern, though it is used in some "big block"-sized V8's as well as some V6's and I6's. 200 I6 1978-1983 only, partial (4 of 6 bolts) pattern. 250 I6 (except Australian 250/4.1) 255 V8; 289 V8 - (made after August 3, 1964) - had 6 bolts holding bellhousing to block; 302 Cleveland (Australia)
A cross-bolted bearing is a bearing, usually a crankshaft main bearing of a piston engine, reinforced with additional transverse bolts. Most bearing caps are retained by two bolts, one on each side of the bearing journal, and parallel to the cylinder axis (or, on vee engines, parallel to an axis bisecting the vee angle). A cross-bolted bearing ...
