Dayton 3FCT1 Pillow Block Bearing Eccentric
Cast-iron housed pillow block bearing with eccentric locking, double-sealed radial ball insert for 5/8 in cylindrical shafts, operating from -20 to 200 °F
- Cast iron housing delivers rigid mounting support
- Double-sealed closure keeps contaminants out of the bearing
- Alloy steel radial ball insert handles radial loads
- Operates from -20 °F to 200 °F for wide temperature range
- Two bolt-through holes on 3 3/4 in centres simplify installation
Industrial Shaft Support
The Dayton 3FCT1 pillow block bearing provides radial ball support for shafts with a 5/8 in cylindrical bore. Its cast iron housing and eccentric locking collar suit conveyor, fan and light machinery installations where a bolt-through mount is required. The unit is sold new and arrives double sealed with NGLI #2 equivalent grease.
Thermal Range And Power Draw
The bearing operates continuously between -20 Degrees F and 200 Degrees F without relubrication. Cast iron construction dissipates heat from the alloy steel insert while the double seals retain lubricant and exclude contaminants. No external power is consumed; the only draw comes from the driven shaft torque.
Mounting Hardware And Compliance
Two bolt-through holes spaced 3 3/4 in centre-to-centre accept standard fasteners for quick alignment. The package includes the bearing insert, housing and eccentric collar only; shims, shafts or mounting bolts are not supplied. California Proposition 65 warnings apply for cancer and reproductive harm.

Questions about this item
How do I install the 3FCT1 pillow block bearing and what step is often missed?
Bolt the cast iron housing through the two mount holes spaced 3 3/4 in centre-to-centre, then lock the eccentric collar onto the 5/8 in shaft — many forget to tighten the collar in the direction of shaft rotation.
What maintenance will the 3FCT1 need and when should I replace the insert?
The double-sealed radial ball insert runs on NGLI #2 equivalent grease rated for -20 to 200 °F; relubricate per schedule and replace the alloy steel insert when vibration or radial play exceeds acceptable limits.
What is the first limit the 3FCT1 hits under continuous high-speed operation?
The NGLI #2 equivalent lubricant reaches its 200 °F maximum temperature ceiling before the cast iron housing or alloy steel balls hit mechanical limits.
