Note: The UPB is normally shipped with a pillow block mounting plate but is occasionally ordered without one if
the customer chooses to make their own.
Mounting the pillow block bearing to the UPB is simple and convenient. The mounting plate is held in place by four
stainless steel corner bolts. If the mounting plate has not already been removed from the transducer then remove the
mounting plate, then drill and tap it to match the pillow block mounting dimensions. A centerline mark is provided
on the mounting plate. The plate is to be drilled and tapped by utilizing this centerline mark to insure that the pillow
block bearing is centered on the plate. Remount the plate and bolt the pillow block bearing to it. The mounting plate
is 304 Stainless Steel, which is amenable to drilling but offers corrosive and chemical resistance. Refer to “J” in the
table in section 2.2.5 above for the maximum bolt diameter recommended for bolting the pillow block bearing to the
mounting plate.
3.5 E XTREMELY S EVERE A PPLICATIONS
For applications that can create major build-ups of material (paint, glue…), it is recommended to close the exposed
gaps of the transducer. A good way to do this is to use Electrical Tape all around the side of the UPB Transducer.
