LINK-BELT PL series pillow blocks are mounted bearing units that bolt to a flat base to support rotating shafts in power transmission equipment. They are used when the shaft runs parallel to the mounting surface and rigid support with controlled alignment is required. MR Accesorios Industriales sells this line, backed by experience in the industrial sector.

The PL series designation is read in blocks: the leading letters identify the pillow block type, the number that follows indicates the size or the bearing series it houses, and the final characters define sealing, locking or housing configuration variants. For example, PL3W2E20E and PL3W2E32E share the general structure and differ in the middle number, which corresponds to the shaft diameter and the mounted bearing series. With the full part number, the unit you need can be identified without ambiguity.

These pillow blocks appear in belt conveyors, bucket elevators, mills, mixers, centrifugal pumps and process equipment in food, chemical, cement and aggregate processing plants. In Argentina they are found in packaging lines, conveyor belts at grain storage plants and industrial ventilation systems, where the ruggedness of the housing and the ability to relubricate make the difference compared with flanged bearings.

To select the correct pillow block, you must verify the shaft diameter, the mounted bearing series, the shaft locking type and the sealing required for the environment. Installation requires a flat, rigid base, with bolts properly tightened and careful alignment between pillow blocks to avoid parasitic loads. Lubrication must follow the equipment maintenance plan, and in dusty or humid environments it is advisable to choose higher-protection seals.

As for interchangeability, pillow blocks are available from different brands with standardized dimensions, but housing tolerances and the sealing system vary between manufacturers. Therefore, when replacing a unit, it is advisable to compare the full part number and not just the shaft diameter. MR Accesorios Industriales will point you to the compatible alternative.
