Link-Belt CL series pillow blocks are mounted bearing units that are fastened to the structure by means of a base with holes, and are used to support rotating shafts in transmission equipment. The CL series covers a family of sizes identified by part numbers such as PL3CL2M17N or PL3CL2M50N, which combine the pillow block size with the shaft diameter. MR Accesorios Industriales carries them in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and advises you on choosing the correct variant for your application.

The designation of these pillow blocks is read in blocks. The letters PL indicate the pillow block type; CL identifies the series; the letter M indicates the locking system or the type of bearing housed; and the number that follows —17, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45 or 50 in the examples— corresponds to the shaft diameter in millimeters. The final N distinguishes a construction variant within the same series. Thus, a PL3CL2M30N is a CL series pillow block for a 30 mm shaft, and a PL3CL2M45N for a 45 mm shaft. Knowing this logic allows you to request the exact part number you need.

These pillow blocks are used in belt and roller conveyors, bucket elevators, mixers, mills, centrifugal pumps, industrial fans and process lines in food, chemical, cement and aggregate processing plants. In the Argentine market they are common in equipment from recognized brands and in replacement assemblies where a robust unit with easy alignment is sought. MR Accesorios Industriales offers them for those applications, with the advantage of being able to quote the complete part number shown on your drawing or equipment nameplate.

To select the correct pillow block, first verify the shaft diameter and the type of bearing it houses: the CL series accepts deep groove ball or roller bearings, depending on the variant. Also check the radial and axial load it must support, the rotation speed and the environmental conditions. During mounting, ensure a flat, rigid base, align the pillow block with the shaft and tighten the fastening bolts evenly. Proper lubrication and sealing that prevents the ingress of dust or moisture extend the service life of the assembly.

Link-Belt CL series pillow blocks can be interchanged with equivalent units from other brands that share the same shaft height, hole spacing and housing diameter. That equivalence is not always direct: two pillow blocks with the same shaft diameter may differ in center-to-center mounting distance or overall height. Therefore, it is advisable to compare the critical dimensions before replacing. If you cannot find the exact reference, write to us via WhatsApp with the part number or model you need and we will indicate the compatible alternative.
