PGN UCF205-16 Pillow Block Bearing - Pack of 2 Square Flange Mounted Pillow Block Bearings - Chrome Steel Bearings with 1" Bore - Self Alignment

I'm pleased with the quality of these bearings. I'll be ordering again when they are needed.

We needed bearings for my flail mower and these were thirty bucks and came next day. They fit perfectly. I expect good service if kept greased. If not, I'll report back. I gave 5 stars for price/value ratio and next day arrival.

The media could not be loaded. I used these bearing to mount and hold up my water wheel. They work good and the wheel spins super easy. I’ll definitely buy more if I decide to make another one!

The 1" bearings I received (~0.999) seem to be sized for for an interference/shrink fit with a 1" shaft (~1.001). They are not a slip fit, but they fit together beautifully when the shaft is chilled in the freezer and the inner race is warmed to around 120 F. The 4-bearing set I received were all within tolerances for shrink fitting, I was pretty amazed at the tolerances considering the cost. I actually wanted a slip fit for my project, but was able to hone the inner race to fit with a spindle sander without too much difficulty. Not the best method for critical work of course, but adequate for my purposes. My only complaint is the self-alignment cage is stiff and pretty difficult to adjust.Ignore the video review about these being crooked below, this guy had no idea what he ordered. These are SELF-ALIGNING bearings, the outer cage is supposed to be adjustable for out-of-alignment situations.

Good quality product. Does what it is intended for.

As a first time flange bearing purchaser I was disappointed when they arrived with the bore not aligned to the base of the flange. I was going to return them but when I went to purchase replacements locally, the guy at the tractor supply educated me on the self aligning feature. It might be worth while to have some kind of note on the packaging that indicates this fact and its implications. I noticed several comments on similar bearings that indicate I am not the only one who didn't know this before hand.

I have ordered...somewhere past 4-5 hundred of these now through various online sources. PGN is a great company. Out of that amount, I've only had two that were improperly machined. One had a housing crack and fell apart. The other the bolt sleeve flats were not machined properly.

works as expected smooth operation, decent price.
