What are Link-Belt split housings?
Link-Belt split housings are two-piece housings that allow mounting and dismounting the bearing without dismantling the shaft. This feature makes them ideal for equipment where maintenance must be quick and simple, such as conveyors, fans, or industrial pumps.
The Link-Belt line includes pillow block, flange, and take-up housings, among others. Each is designed to work with insert bearings or spherical roller bearings, depending on load and speed requirements. At MR we market the complete range so you can find the right configuration.
If you need to replace an existing housing, you can send us the code engraved on the part or a photo. Our technical team helps you identify the model and quotes the correct alternative.
Link-Belt housing series and codes
Within Link-Belt housings, codes such as B22600, B22400, and B22500 correspond to split pillow block housings commonly used in industry. These models differ by the shaft diameter they accommodate and by the internal bearing series.
Link-Belt nomenclature usually indicates the size and type of housing. For example, housings in the B22xxx series are intended for medium shafts, while other codes may refer to flange or take-up housings. It is important to verify the complete number to ensure compatibility.
At MR we work with the complete Link-Belt housing line. If you have the exact code, we will quote it promptly. If you don't, with the shaft size and mounting type we can guide you.
Link-Belt Y-bearings (inserts)
Link-Belt Y-bearings or inserts, such as codes ER27, ER23, and ER24, are bearing units with a spherical outer ring that mount inside a housing. This combination allows self-alignment, compensating for slight shaft misalignments and facilitating assembly.
These bearings often have an eccentric locking collar or set screws to secure them to the shaft. The ER series is one of the most used in agricultural and light-to-medium industrial applications.
If your equipment uses a Link-Belt insert bearing, you can request a quote via WhatsApp or email indicating the code or the shaft and housing dimensions. We will respond with the exact option.
Link-Belt spherical roller bearings for heavy loads
Link-Belt spherical roller bearings, such as models 6203U, 22318, and 6608U, are designed to withstand combined radial and axial loads, even under misalignment or vibration. They are the typical choice for heavy machinery, such as mills, kilns, or mining equipment.
The 22300 series is known for its high load capacity and robust design, while models with the U suffix may indicate a specific cage design or heat treatment. It is always advisable to verify the complete code.
At MR we market Link-Belt spherical roller bearings for the most demanding applications. If you need to replace one, send us the code or dimensions and we will quote the appropriate replacement.
Link-Belt Y-housing with insert bearing
Link-Belt Y-housings with insert bearing, such as codes TU322, TU336, and TU335, combine a Y-type housing (two-bolt) with an insert bearing already mounted. They are ready-to-install units, widely used in conveyors, agitators, and agricultural machinery.
These assemblies simplify maintenance because they are replaced as a single piece. The TU series indicates the housing type and the final number corresponds to the shaft diameter in sixteenths of an inch, following industry standard.
If your equipment uses a Link-Belt Y-housing, you can request a quote with the complete code or the shaft size. At MR we will indicate the available alternative and ship it to any point in Argentina.
Link-Belt cylindrical roller bearings
Link-Belt cylindrical roller bearings, such as models 6217, 5326, and 5232, are used in applications with high speeds and significant radial loads, such as electric motors, gearboxes, and pumps. Their design allows axial displacement between rings, which facilitates thermal expansion.
The 6200 series is for general use, while the 5200 and 5300 series usually have higher load capacity. The complete code indicates the size and internal design, so it is key to verify it before ordering a replacement.
At MR we work with Link-Belt cylindrical roller bearings for industrial maintenance. Send us the code or dimensions and we will quote the exact replacement for your equipment.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Link-Belt split housing?
It is a two-piece housing that allows mounting and dismounting the bearing without dismantling the shaft. It is used in equipment such as conveyors, fans, and pumps, where maintenance must be quick.
How do I identify the code of my Link-Belt housing?
The code is usually engraved on the housing body or on the label. If you can't find it, you can measure the shaft diameter and the mounting type (pillow block, flange, take-up) and send us a photo so we can help you identify it.
What bearing does a Link-Belt split housing use?
It depends on the model. Some use insert bearings (ER series) and others spherical roller bearings (22300 series, for example). The housing code usually indicates the compatible bearing series.
Can I replace only the Link-Belt insert bearing?
Yes, insert bearings are sold separately. You only need the bearing code (for example, ER27) or the shaft and housing dimensions to request a quote for the replacement.
Do you ship Link-Belt housings throughout the country?
Yes, from Buenos Aires we ship to all of Argentina. We coordinate shipping once the quote and payment are confirmed.
