Plumber Block Pedestal

Description

 Plumber Block Pedestal

This type of bearing consists of

I) a cast iron pedestal,

ii) gun metal, or brass bush split into two halves called “brasses”,

iii) a cast iron cap and two mild steel bolts.

The detailed drawing of a pedestal bearing is shown in image below.

The rotation of the bush inside the bearing housing is arrested by a snug at the bottom of the lower brass.

The cap is tightened on the pedestal block by means of bolts and nuts.

The detailed part drawings of another plummer block with slightly different dimensions are also shown in image below.
