Pillow block bearings are a form of mounted bearing used to provide load support for a rotating shaft axis. The bearing housing mounts to a surface parallel to the shaft axis. Selection of the appropriate bearings can be accomplished based on the shaft size and the radial and thrust load requirements. Pillow block bearings are designed to support a shaft : the mounting surface is on a parallel line with the axis of the shaft. 4, record 2, English, - pillow%20block

Électrobroche à paliers hydrostatiques : Le principe de cette technologie est de transmettre la charge à travers un film de lubrifiant dont la pression est maintenue par l'intermédiaire d'une pompe extérieure; la principale différence par rapport au guidage à billes est qu'il n'y a jamais de contact entre les surfaces puisque la présence du film lubrifiant est assurée même pour une vitesse de rotation nulle. Elle présente les mêmes caractéristiques que l'électrobroche à paliers magnétiques avec cependant les avantages suivants : le film de lubrifiant qui sépare les surfaces du palier joue le rôle d'amortisseur pour filtrer les vibrations; la portance est très élevée. Cependant comme pour les paliers magnétiques, cette technologie est coûteuse. b) Électrobroche à paliers magnétiques : Cette technique ne connait pas les inconvénients des roulements à billes car les frottements et par conséquent l'usure sont supprimés. Cependant, la portance des paliers et le manque d'amortissement de la broche qui «flotte» dans un champ magnétique constituent deux limites à son utilisation. 1, record 4, French, - portance
