I'm sure we all know what I'm referring to when I say "earless" pillow
block but is there a correct nomenclature to ask for? I need earless
pillow blocks with Timken type tapered roller bearings, or something
else that will handle moderate thrust, with a 1" bore and be permanently
lubed.

Are timing belts and synchronous belts the same thing? I need to
transmit 5 to 7.5 Hp to a parallel 1" shaft at 2K RPM, 1:1 with a motor
about 10" away. I'm just not smart or patient enough to figure out the
correct belt using the graphs and formulas on the suppliers' web pages
while some people intuitively know what belt to use. For various
reasons, I can't use V-belts.
