PGN UCP205-16 Pillow Block Bearing - Pack of 2 Mounted Pillow Block Bearings - Chrome Steel Bearings with 1 Bore - Self Alignment

I have two sets of 1” under a heavy load and they are solid

Pressed in crooked. Not useable. Both bearings arrived same way. Lacking quality control clearly.

I have three evaporative coolers we run in our auto repair shop 20 hours a day for five months of the year. We usually wear out bearing annually. These bearing use grease zerks instead of the oil and felt most other use. The design is way more automotive and looks like it will last years instead of months. Even the motor spins faster with them because they have less drag. All coolers should have these style of bearings

I took a chance on these based on reviews that mentioned these bearings are self-aligning. Perhaps they are, but the hole bored through the casting that the bearing is pressed into is obviously bored at an angle relative to the rest of the casting and not in line with the mounting holes. I would either need to mount the casting at an angle or hope the self-aligning internal ring of the bearing did not cause ball bearings to run out of the internal raceway causing wear and premature failure. Pulling and replacing bearings is chore enough without worrying about doing it again sooner than necessary due to early failure of the part you are installing. I decided Im not risking it and returned them. Other than that, they appear to be of good quality and, if you can mount them slightly offset so the actual bearing itself is in line with the shaft, would probably work for you just fine. I dont have room to offset these on my brackets, so they are on their way back for a refund. I would be willing to try these again if I could confirm that they are being machined correctly or if I had an application with a little room to mount them at a slight angle.

I Cant even use these bearings because they are not pressed in properly. Completely crooked. Im returning them for two more lets see how these two turn out. If the next two I receive our good then I will leave a five star review. Replacements came and they look perfect. I understand these are self aligning bearings but the first batch just didnt look correct, even when I straightened the bearings in the cast housing the just werent seated properly. The new batch looks great, we will see how they hold up, but so far so good.
