Where to find resources on pillow block design?

I'm trying to design a motorized linear stage, and stumbled upon the following link from Digikey which has some great information:

https://www.digikey.com/en/articles/techzone/2016/sep/easy-build-how-to-implement-linear-stage-raspberry-pi-project

The only piece that I'm having trouble understanding is the pillow block that they've used to connect the motor to the lead screw under the 'Mechanical Build' section.

Does anyone have any good resources where I can learn more about pillow block design? I'm not sure what the role of the thrust vs. needle bearings are, and how the shaft through the middle connects to both the lead screw and motor. A cross-sectional view or maybe a video breakdown would be very helpful.
