Mill/Pillow block bearing help

[phoenixs4r]

Hello,

I am going to extend the shaft of my mill so that I can run my sheaves further away from the hopper/hands. I know I'll need a pillow block to support the end away from the mill, but I know nothing about bearings.

Would something like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Qty-1-1-2-P...159?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5ae8807467

work?

The bearing will be getting side load (I dont' know my exact terminolgy, bare with me) from the sheave and the belt so I don't know if that bearing will hold up to the strain. Thoughts?

My source for pillow block bearings: http://www.surpluscenter.com/item.asp?item=1-201-08-P&catname=powerTrans Click on one of the PB and then click on the "More Specs" link, those pages should have some more information for you.

Another source of info: http://www.mcmaster.com/#standard-plummer-block-mounted-bearings/=jw11sq Go to page 1154 and read the specs, it should also help as well.

Hope this helps.

Good luck!
