Split pillow block bearing for square profiles, igubal® ESQM 2.0

igubal® ESQM 2.0 – the second generation of our pillow block bearing for the solar industry with square profile mounting 

The ESQM-2.0 spherical pillow block bearing has a reduced overall component height and replaces the previous upper half of the housing with a 2mm galvanised sheet metal extender crossbar. Despite its thin material thickness, it ensures a high structural stiffness. The Magnelis^® coating ensures self-healing corrosion protection and increases the component's durability. The lower part of the housing is made of solarmid G, whilst the spherical bearing component is made of iglidur P UV. Both materials are approximately three times more UV-stable than first-generation materials.

The profile support has been supplemented with integrated cable management recesses. Changing the geometry from V-shape to U-shape improves the seating of the square profile in the spherical half-shell and simplifies assembly.

Thanks to a targeted redistribution of material, this version is stronger and more compact than its predecessors, offering a cost advantage.
