FYH P203 Pillow Block Bearing Housing, 12 to 17 mm (1/2 and 5/8 in) Shaft

The FYH P200 is a cast iron pillow block (plummer block) bearing housing in the normal duty range. This page covers 16 housings, P203 to P218, for shafts from 12 to 90 mm (inch shaft sizes 1/2 to 3 1/2 in are also covered). Select the housing from the drop-down; each size has its own dimension set in the Model Details.

These pillow block housings are supplied without an insert bearing. A complete unit such as UCP211 is the P211 housing fitted with a UC211 insert bearing, which is ordered separately (see Related products). This page mixes metric and inch shaft sizes, because the matching inserts come in both bore types: the Shaft Diameter option gives the metric size first and the inch sizes in brackets.

Key specifications

Available sizes

Dimensions in mm. Letters follow the catalogue dimension drawings; the full set of dimensions, with inch values, is in each size's Model Details.

Selecting the right option

Match the housing to the insert bearing and the shaft. The catalogue unit tables pair each housing number with specific insert bearings; for example P211 takes UC211 on a 55 mm shaft.

The page lists metric and inch shaft sizes together. Choose the metric size for a metric shaft; for an inch shaft pick the same housing and order the insert with the matching dash number (for example UC211-32). Every size on this page has an inch bore listed.

P203 covers more than one insert size (P203: 12, 15, 17 mm): the housing is shared across those bores, so confirm the exact insert number when ordering.

The Bolt Size option is the mounting bolt for the housing, as listed in the catalogue unit tables (inch equivalent in the Model Details).

Not sure which insert or housing suits your shaft? Send us the shaft diameter and mounting details and we will confirm the match.

Fitting and use

The housing is supplied without an insert bearing. Order the insert separately and lock it to the shaft in the way its own type requires: a UC insert locks to the shaft with two set screws; an NC insert locks with a concentric collar; an NA insert locks with an eccentric collar; a UK insert is a tapered bore insert that mounts on the shaft with an adapter sleeve; an SB insert locks to the shaft with set screws; an SA insert locks with an eccentric collar.

Mount the housing on a flat, rigid surface using the bolt size and bolt hole spacing J shown for the size. Dimension letters follow the catalogue drawings.
