The Link-Belt 6800 series split plummer block housing is a mounting component for bearings, designed to house and secure the bearing in power transmission applications. Its two-half construction makes mounting and dismounting easier without having to dismantle the entire shaft, which simplifies maintenance. It is used in industrial equipment where shaft support and alignment are required, such as conveyors, mills, pumps and fans. MR Accesorios Industriales carries this line as an official brand, with more than 80 years of experience in the trade.
The 6800 series designation is interpreted from its letters and numbers. The prefix PKLB identifies the Link-Belt split plummer block housing family. Then the digits indicate the size and configuration: for example, PKLB6839FD8 corresponds to a housing of the 6800 series with specific dimensions. The suffix FD8 indicates construction features, such as the type of sealing or the locking method. Series codes include variants such as PKLB6847FD8, PKLB6855FD8, PKLB6871FD8, PKLB6879FD8 and PKLB68103FD8, which cover a range of sizes for different shaft diameters.
These housings are used in industries such as food, cement, mining, paper and aggregate processing. In Argentina, they are common in belt conveyors, bucket elevators, mixers, mills and pumping equipment. Their split design allows the bearing to be replaced without dismantling other components of the system, which reduces downtime. They are also used in applications where the shaft must be supported at intermediate points, with proper alignment and protection against contaminants.
To select the correct housing, take into account the shaft diameter, the type of bearing to be housed and the operating conditions. Check the required sealing according to the environment: if there is dust, moisture or high temperatures, choose the configuration with the appropriate protections. During mounting, ensure the alignment of the halves and uniform tightening of the bolts. Lubrication must be the one indicated for the bearing and the duty cycle. Careful mounting extends the service life of the assembly and prevents premature failures.
Link-Belt 6800 series housings can be interchanged with equivalent products from other brands, as long as the critical dimensions match: shaft diameter, center distance between mounting points, height to center and bearing type. It is essential to verify dimensional and functional compatibility before replacing a unit. MR Accesorios Industriales advises you to find the right alternative according to your equipment specifications. Interchangeability does not depend only on the code, but on the dimensions and the required performance.
