The GRACO 18B373 is a pillow block bearing designed for use in GRACO equipment. It features a 1-1/8" bore and is intended to support rotating shafts, providing reliable operation and reducing friction in machinery. The material is not explicitly stated, but pillow block bearings of this type are typically constructed with cast iron housings and high-quality bearing inserts for durability.

Key Features:

• Pillow Block Bearing
• 1-1/8" Dodge Pillow Block
• Cast iron housing (typical for this type), high-quality bearing insert
• Designed for use with GRACO equipment requiring a 1-1/8" shaft support; Dodge pillow block standard
• Supports rotating shafts in industrial machinery
• Reduces friction and wear
• Designed for reliability and long service life
• Ease of maintenance (typical for pillow block bearings)

Applications:
Used in GRACO machinery where a 1-1/8" shaft needs to be supported and rotated with minimal friction, commonly found in lubrication, fluid handling, and maintenance equipment.

Installation Notes:

• Using genuine GRACO parts ensures compatibility, reliability, and optimal performance of your equipment.
• Ensure the shaft diameter matches the bearing bore (1-1/8")
• Align the bearing properly to prevent misalignment and premature wear
• Lubricate according to manufacturer recommendations
• Check for secure mounting and proper bolt torque
• Regularly inspect for wear and proper lubrication
• Replace if excessive play or noise is detected
• Keep the bearing and surrounding area clean to prevent contamination
