A pillow block housing having partition means dividing the interior of the housing into an outer oil reservoir chamber and an inner chamber for a rolling bearing, said chambers being separated by partition means extending in a generally radial direction with respect to the bearing axis, a lubricator ring which rests in the inner chamber on a shaft member or the like and projects through recesses in the housing partitions into the oil reservoir chamber and supplies lubricant from the reservoir to the inner bearing chamber upon rotation of the shaft, said partition means comprising separate divider sections selectively adjustable in various axial positions in the housing bore in a form-locking manner.

Bearing housing

A housing (1, 2) for roller bearings (10) with lubrication means in the form of a lubricator ring (13) which partially runs into an oil storage space (17) arranged underneath the shaft (6) and rests on the shaft (6) or the like which drives the lubricator ring (13), has on one side of the roller bearing (10) a dividing wall (4) running at a distant from it arranged radial to the bearing axis for separating a space (12) occupying the roller bearing (10) from an outer space (11) containing the oil storage space (17). The lubricator ring (13) is arranged in an upper area in the space (19) for the roller bearing (10). In order to provide a reliable housing, the fabrication and assembly of which in comparison with the known housings is simplified, whereby further the possibility for a good seal should exist between the space occupying the roller bearing and the outer space containing the oil storage space, the dividing wall (4) as well as an outer limiting wall (17a) of the outer space (11) containing the oil storage space (17) each are constructed in one piece with the housing (1, 2). When the dividing wall (11) has a bore (15) for receiving the shaft (6) and running concentric to the bearing axis, a ring (8) arranged on the shaft (6) or the like engages in it for the purpose of good sealing with little play.
