Link-Belt PLB series housings are pillow block units for mounted bearings, designed to support rotating shafts in power transmission equipment. They are used when a rigid base is needed to secure the bearing to the frame and allow mounting and dismounting without fully disassembling the shaft. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies this line in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and advises you on choosing the correct configuration according to your equipment's shaft diameter and mounting type.
The designation of these housings combines letters and numbers that identify the series and size. In the examples PLB22544K8, PLB23248K81516 or PLB23256K10716, the prefix PLB indicates the pillow block housing family; the following digits relate to the bearing series (6600, 6800 or 23200) and the shaft diameter. The final block, such as K8, K81516 or K10716, indicates the mounting type and the housing configuration. To choose, send us the full code shown on the nameplate or drawing.
These housings are used in belt conveyors, bucket elevators, mills, mixers, centrifugal pumps and process equipment in food, chemical, cement and aggregate processing plants. In Argentina you'll find them in packaging lines, mineral conveyor belts and industrial ventilation systems. Their pillow block design allows mounting the bearing on a flat surface and aligning the shaft with controlled tolerances, which reduces vibration and extends the service life of the assembly.
To select the correct housing, take into account the shaft diameter, the type of bearing to be housed, the expected radial and axial load, and the environmental conditions. Check the sealing: if there is dust or humidity, additional protection is advisable. During mounting, make sure the base sits fully and the bolts are tightened evenly to avoid deformation. Lubrication must be the one specified for the bearing and the operating temperature range. Careful alignment prevents parasitic stresses and premature failures.
Link-Belt housings are interchangeable with other brands of pillow block mounted bearings that follow the same shaft dimensions and mounting holes. When comparing, check the center height, the hole spacing and the shaft diameter. If you need an alternative, at MR Accesorios Industriales we'll indicate the compatible option according to your equipment's dimensions. We work with the original designation and the equivalences recognized by the manufacturer.
If you have the housing code or the bearing model, send it by WhatsApp to MR Accesorios Industriales and we'll send you a quote shortly. We can also advise you if you need to replace an existing unit or adapt a configuration for your application. With more than 80 years in the field, at MR we know the needs of Argentine industry and help you resolve the selection without hassle.
