Power Transmission Guards
End Shaft Bearing and Pillow Block Covers
To protect rotating shafts and bearing housings in industrial power-transmission systems.
Heavy-duty molded covers protect exposed shaft ends and pillow block bearings from contact, debris, and rotating-equipment hazards.
End Shaft Bearing and Pillow Block Covers are protective guarding solutions designed to enclose exposed bearings, shaft ends, and mounting blocks to prevent accidental contact with rotating components. Constructed from durable steel or molded polymer, these covers shield workers from pinch points, entanglement hazards, and flying debris while keeping contaminants away from critical bearing surfaces. Ideal for conveyors, material-handling equipment, and rotating machinery, end shaft and pillow block guards help facilities meet OSHA 1910.212 and 1910.219 machine-guarding requirements—improving operator safety, extending equipment life, and promoting cleaner, more reliable production environments.
User-Friendly Design
- Smooth, fully enclosed guard prevents accidental contact with rotating shaft ends and bearing housings.
- Lightweight polymer or metal construction makes installation easy and reduces strain during maintenance.
- Rounded, snag-free geometry eliminates sharp edges and improves operator safety around conveyors and rotating equipment.
- Inspection-friendly design with optional viewing slots for bearing alignment checks and lubrication points.
Flexible Mounting Options
- Compatible with standard two-bolt, three-bolt, and four-bolt pillow block bearings (both inch and metric).
- Fits end-shaft protrusions, extended drive shafts, return shafts, and pulley-supporting bearings.
- Available in single-piece or split two-piece designs for installations where shaft disconnect is not possible.
- Multiple depths and diameters available to match various shaft lengths and pillow block sizes.
Seamless System Integration
- Part of a complete power-transmission guarding system—pairs with belt guards, chain guards, and coupling covers.
- Supports compliance with OSHA 1910.219 mechanical power-transmission standards by fully enclosing exposed rotating elements.
- Ventilated options maintain airflow to the bearing housing while still preventing reach-in or entanglement hazards.
- Easily incorporated into conveyor systems, drive units, machine frames, and t-slotted aluminum guarding structures.

- Assembly consists of:
- End-shaft or pillow-block protective cover (molded polymer, UHMW, or light-gauge metal based on selection).
- Mounting hardware kit with bolts, washers, and brackets sized to each bearing housing style.
- Optional lubrication-access port or quick-remove cover insert for maintenance.
- Installation guide with clearance tables and recommended sizing for shaft diameters and bearing models.
- Note: Bearings, housing blocks, couplings, and shaft components are not included—guarding only.
- Common uses include:
- Conveyor systems with exposed end shafts, take-up bearings, and return-roller housings.
- Material-handling equipment, packaging lines, food-processing systems, and general manufacturing machinery.
- Pump and motor assemblies where pillow blocks or shaft supports sit in operator access zones.
- Retrofit guarding on older equipment with missing, damaged, or inadequate OEM protection.
