Link-Belt PT 200 series pillow blocks are mounted units that combine an insert bearing with a pillow block housing, ready to be fixed to the machine structure. They are used when the shaft runs parallel to the base and a rigid, aligned support with easy replacement is needed. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies them in Buenos Aires, Argentina, with more than 80 years of experience in the field.
The designation of these brackets is read in blocks: PT identifies the pillow block, the number that follows indicates the housing series, the letter S the seal type and the final figure the shaft diameter. Thus, PT3S2M20E and PT3S2M25E share the format and change the shaft size, while PT3S2M30E, PT3S2M35E and PT3S2M40E cover larger steps. Recognizing each block allows ordering the correct replacement without disassembling the equipment.
These pillow blocks appear in belt conveyors, bucket elevators, mixers, screens, mills and packaging lines. In food, chemical and aggregate plants in Argentina they are chosen for the rigidity of the support and the possibility of replacing the complete unit without regrinding the shaft. They are also used in fans, pumps and effluent treatment equipment where mounting on a flat base simplifies installation.
To select correctly, check the diameter and length of the shaft section, the expected radial and axial load, and the working environment. In areas with dust or water, a tighter seal is advisable; in clean applications the standard is sufficient. Mounting requires a flat base, alignment of the supports and tightening of the insert locking bolts. Lubrication is replenished according to the duty cycle and the type of grease indicated for the unit.
Among brands, pillow blocks are interchanged by series number, shaft diameter and housing configuration, not by each manufacturer's complete code. It is advisable to compare base dimensions, center height and mounting type before replacing. If you need a variant that is not listed, write to us via WhatsApp with the code or model and we will indicate the compatible alternative or manufacture it to measure.
