LINK-BELT PKLB series split brackets are split housings that allow the bearing to be mounted and dismounted without dismantling the shaft or the transmission. They are used to support rotating shafts in equipment where maintenance is done with the system assembled, and they are common in conveyors, mills, pumps and process machines. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies this line as an official brand and advises you to choose the bracket according to the shaft diameter and the type of fixing.

The designation of these brackets is read in blocks. The letters PKLB identify the LINK-BELT split bracket family; the first two digits after the letters indicate the housing series, which in this line can be 6600 or 6800; the number following the M corresponds to the shaft diameter for which the bracket is machined; and the suffix FR indicates the fixing or sealing variant. Thus, for example, PKLB66M220FR and PKLB68M65FR belong to different series and are chosen by shaft size and mounting type.

In Argentine industry, these brackets are seen in belt and chain conveyors, bucket elevators, mixers, mills, centrifugal pumps and continuous process equipment. The possibility of opening the bracket in two halves simplifies bearing replacement on lines where stopping the equipment means losing production. They are also used on low and medium speed transmission shafts, where alignment and firm support are critical to the service life of the assembly.

To select the bracket, start from the shaft diameter and the bearing you are going to house. Verify the type of fixing the equipment needs: split brackets may come with a lock ring, set screws or adapter sleeve, depending on the case. Check the sealing: in environments with dust, water or frequent washdowns, additional protection is advisable. During installation, ensure the alignment of the two halves and even tightening of the screws; proper lubrication and periodic retightening prolong bearing life.

LINK-BELT brackets are interchangeable with other brands of standardized split brackets, as long as the series, shaft diameter and type of fixing match. It is not enough for the bearing to be the same: the center height, hole spacing and sealing system must be compared. If you have the original part number, we will indicate the compatible alternative; if not, with the shaft measurement and a photo of the mounting we can guide you.
