PGN UCP205-16 Pillow Block Bearing - Pack of 4 Mounted Pillow Block Bearings - Chrome Steel Bearings with 1" Bore - Self Alignment

Wanted to use these as replacement bearings for my swamp cooler - pillow block mounting holes too far apart and I was simply too LAZY to re-drill. HOWEVER --- These are very VERY well made and more than worth the money. NOT going to return - have no doubt I can find them a "good home" in some other project.

The price is so good that I purchased them for future use.

I will get more; I am not sure how long they lasted but there are greaseable.

quality of bearing was excellent packaging was excellent and shipping time was excellent and price

Well made

These are definitely very sturdy. But check what you receive closely, and right away. I checked one and it was good. I missed the return window by two days. Out of four, only one had the bearing pressed in close to straight. If you look at the one in front, that is out of whack by about .25 inches. If you look closely at the mounted one right behind it, you can see that the bearing on the left isn't inline either. Nor is the bearing on the right. Only the one in back is close. Close but not perfect. I'm giving three stars because I think it would be a good product but quality control is lacking.

PGN - UCP205-16 Pillow Block Mounted Ball Bearing - 1" BoreGreat Bearing's, Excellent price, I used these 1" bearings to attach a 12 foot gate to the framing of my shop to keep my explorer dog from exploring. ( also keeps his furry friend's out !I used 3/4" ID. Black Iron pipe for the shafts, turned down to 1" OD, works great.The gate sections are fence sections that I purchased from HFT many years ago work great for larger dog's maybe not so good for smaller and pups.First gate I built I used PGN - UCP206-20 Pillow Block Mounted Ball Bearing - 1-1/4" bore, I used these to attach 2 - 7 foot gates to the framing of my shop for a 14 foot span, Didn't need bearings this heavy, went to the smaller bearings. (See other review)

I used these bearings to construct a low-cost rail cart from standard 1" tubing and a palette, and flanged wheels I bought on ebay.As others have observed, there are many different concepts of what an inch is, and 1" pipes or tubes will not fit through these bearings. The 1" bore of the wheels on the other hand was a bit too wide, so I couldn't machine the tubes. I asked a local metal shop to machine the bearings instead. This was a bit more work than what the guy initially quoted but worked well in the end and all 4 bearings sit nicely on standard tubes now.
