Link-Belt MPS N housings are pillow block units that accommodate 200 series bearings and allow transmission shafts to be mounted on a flat base. They are used when a shaft line needs to be supported with stable alignment and the bearing needs to be easy to mount and remove without disassembling the entire equipment. MR Accesorios Industriales sells them in Buenos Aires, Argentina, with technical advice to choose the correct size.
The designation MPS N is read as a family of pillow block housings: the letters MPS identify the construction type and the final N distinguishes the mounting variant. The numbers that appear between the two letters, as in MPS216N, MPS219N or MPS223N, refer to the size of the 200 series bearing that each unit accommodates. Thus, the complete code combines the housing model with the bearing size, which is why it is best to provide the entire code when requesting a quote.
These housings are seen in belt conveyors, bucket elevators, grinding and mixing lines, and process equipment in food, chemical and aggregate plants. In the Argentine market they are common in installations where a robust cast base is sought and a mounting that withstands dust, moisture and moderate loads. Being pillow block units, they simplify bearing replacement and maintain shaft height without modifying the existing structure.
To select the housing, start with the shaft diameter and the bearing you are going to mount: the number in the MPS N code must match the corresponding 200 series. Check the condition of the base and the alignment before tightening the bolts; an uneven base accelerates wear on the bearing and the seal. Lubrication and the type of sealing are chosen according to the environment: heavy dirt or frequent washdowns call for a tighter closure and a shorter greasing routine.
Regarding interchangeability, 200 series pillow block housings are available from different brands with equivalent mounting dimensions, but it is not advisable to mix halves from different manufacturers without verifying heights and holes. If the original code is not available, a compatible alternative can be evaluated while maintaining the bearing size and the base hole spacing. MR Accesorios Industriales indicates the option that best fits your equipment.
If you have the MPS N code of the housing or the number of the bearing it accommodates, send it by WhatsApp to MR Accesorios Industriales and we will quote it promptly. We can also help if you need to replace an existing unit and cannot find the original brand: with the shaft diameter and the base hole layout, we will bring you a compatible solution.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I identify the MPS N housing I need?
- The middle number, as in MPS216N or MPS224N, indicates the 200 series bearing it accommodates. To choose correctly, take the shaft diameter and the code of the current bearing; with that data we will quote the equivalent housing.
- Can it be replaced by another brand?
- Yes, there are 200 series pillow block housings with equivalent mounting dimensions from other brands. Verify shaft height and hole spacing before installing. If you send us the original code, we will indicate the compatible alternative.
- What should I check before mounting it?
- Check that the base is flat and aligned, that the holes match and that the bearing seats without forcing. Then tighten the bolts gradually and grease according to the working environment. Poor alignment shortens bearing life.
