VB45-PB Bearing Isolator for Pillow Blocks

Hi, I’m Chris Solfelt with Inpro/Seal and in this video I’m going to talk about the VB45-PB Bearing Isolator designed specifically for pillow block bearings.

Pillow blocks are used in almost every processing industry, but are often overlooked when assessing equipment sealing reliability. Sealing these bearings effectively is essential for ensuring their longevity and performance. For maximum bearing protection, customers worldwide turn to the VB45-PB Bearing Isolator from Inpro/Seal.

This unique Bearing Isolator utilizes the patented VB45 interface, the gold standard for permanent bearing protection, packaged specifically to align to the unique mounting configurations in pillow block bearings. VB45 Bearing Isolators offer a suite of benefits. They are IP66 rated, providing robust protection against contamination ingress from heavy water spray and dust, even in the most demanding environments. And, they are non-contacting, meaning they have no wearing parts, are maintenance-free and will last the lifetime of your equipment.

Because VB45-PB Bearing Isolators are designed specifically for the pillow block applications, you can be sure they will fit equipment properly. There are two different configurations available.

The "O-Ring Mount" utilizes O-rings to secure the Bearing Isolator to the block. This method is recommended when there is minimal or no shaft-to-bore misalignment.

The “Pin Mount” requires a drilled hole in the pillow block to accommodate an anti-rotation pin affixed to the Bearing Isolator. This method is recommended when shaft-to-bore misalignment is possible.
