The LINK-BELT PLB flange bearing housing is a 4-bolt flange mounted bearing, series 23100, designed to secure rotating shafts to flat structures. It is used when the shaft must sit perpendicular to the mounting surface and a compact, self-aligning and sealed unit is required. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies this line as an official brand, with alternatives for different shaft sizes.
The PLB designation identifies the family of 4-bolt flange bearing housings. The number that follows, as in PLB23152 or PLB23180, refers to series 23100 and to the shaft size: the first digits indicate the series and the last ones, the dimensional variant. Thus, a PLB23152 and a PLB23180 share the same configuration but differ in housing bore diameter. To choose, send the complete part number or the shaft size you need.
These housings appear in conveyors, elevators, mixers, pumps, fans and process lines. In food, chemical and aggregate plants they are chosen for the ease of mounting on sheet metal or structure and for the sealing that tolerates dusty or humid environments. They are also used in material handling equipment and in machines where the shaft must sit square to the flange.
To select, check the shaft diameter, the expected radial and axial load, and the type of sealing according to the environment. Mounting requires a flat, clean surface, with the four bolts tightened in a cross pattern and without forcing the flange. Lubrication must be renewed according to the duty cycle, and shaft alignment should be checked to avoid stress on the bearing. If there is vibration or high temperature, check the clearance and the condition of the seals.
4-bolt flange bearing housings are available from different brands under their own nomenclatures. Interchangeability depends on the flange dimensions, the shaft diameter and the type of fastening, not only on the part number. Therefore, when comparing with another brand, it is advisable to check the mounting footprint and load capacity. MR tells you the compatible alternative if the original part number is not available.
If you need a LINK-BELT PLB flange bearing housing, send the part number or the shaft size by WhatsApp. At MR Accesorios Industriales we will quote it and tell you the option that best suits your equipment. We can also advise you on mounting, lubrication and sealing so that the unit works under the right conditions.
