PGN UCP204-12 Pillow Block Bearing - Pack of 4 Mounted Pillow Block Bearings - Chrome Steel Bearings with 3/4" Bore - Self Alignment

Nice

They were easy to mount and I have been using them with no problems for several years now.

These bearings appear to be a very good buy for the money...time will tell, but they look and feel good. Also, I was impressed that the delivery came exactly on schedule.

Disclaimer: I haven't used these yet. I'm going to be using them in a go kart project of sorts. These are my initial thoughts just based on looking and feeling the bearings in hand. If I notice any performance issues when I finally get to use them, I'll update this review.I bought these mainly for the price. I was a little apprehensive because of the video that shows you how to "align" the bearing if it's misaligned when you get it. I'm familiar with pillow block bearings, so I wasn't surprised to see that they may come misaligned, but the quality of the video made me wonder about the professionalism of the company. Luckily, all of those fears disappeared the moment I took one out of the box. The quality of the casting, machining, and finish on these bearings is top notch. I was expecting Harbor Freight quality but these are actually quite nice.The bearing itself turns smooth with no slop or crunchiness. I was particularly happy to see a zerk fitting on the pillow block. I'm going to be using these on a go kart that will be outside much of the time, so being able to relube the bearings is huge. The fit on my axle is very tight. All in all, I'm quite impressed. We'll see how they hold out once I start using them for their intended purpose.

I liked the price for these bearings but I’ve felt all conflicted about buying something from China. They’re over there, putting the Uighers under their boot heel, and polluting their own country, and they act mad at the US even though without the political opening by the US toward China, they would still be half starving and trying to make steel in backyard foundries. I feel like China just wants to bite the hand that feeds it. It seems to me that sending manufacturing overseas hurts this country as much as it helps consumers. What if a man were to gain value for money, but lose the world?

Fair lead for a winch

The bore on these bearings measure .747 or smaller so either the shaft has to be sanded down or the bearing honed with a brake hone. I tried cold rolled shaft, and stress steel shafting and they are just a little tight. For the price I think they are still a good deal

These pillow blocks worked fine and appear to be very strong.
