The MFPD pillow block is a mounted bearing ready to install: the cast housing and the insert bearing come assembled from the factory. It is used to support rotating shafts in conveyors, belts, elevators and process equipment, where a robust, self-aligning unit with simple mounting is required. SEALMASTER is a brand that MR Accesorios Industriales sells in Buenos Aires, Argentina, with more than 80 years of experience in bearings and industrial accessories.
The MFPD designation identifies the series of pillow blocks with insert bearing. The number after the hyphen indicates the shaft size: that is why MFPD-31, MFPD-35, MFPD-39, MFPD-40, MFPD-43, MFPD-47, MFPD-48 and MFPD-55 coexist in the same family. Each part number refers to a different shaft diameter and to the complete unit, with its housing and its insert. To choose, the part number on the equipment nameplate or the shaft size is enough; if you have doubts, send us the part number on WhatsApp and we will tell you the compatible alternative.
These pillow blocks appear in food and beverage plants, grain handling, cement, mining, water treatment and packaging lines. In Argentina they are seen in belt conveyors, bucket elevators, mixers, blowers and transmission shafts that rotate at moderate speeds. The pillow block housing allows the unit to be fastened to a flat base and to absorb slight misalignments without stressing the shaft. Being a sealed and lubricated unit, it simplifies maintenance in environments with dust, humidity or frequent washdowns.
To select properly, take into account the shaft diameter, the radial and axial load of the equipment, and the type of sealing the environment requires. During mounting, rest the base on a clean, flat surface, tighten the fastening bolts and check shaft alignment before starting up. Insert lubrication is monitored according to working conditions; in humid areas or with washdowns, it is advisable to check the condition of the seals and renew the grease when appropriate. Careful alignment extends bearing life and reduces vibration.
Pillow blocks with insert bearing are available in several brands and equivalent series. Interchangeability depends on the shaft diameter, the fastening hole spacing and the center height, so a similar part number is not enough. If the equipment has a pillow block from another brand, send us the original part number and the main dimensions: we will tell you the compatible alternative from the MFPD series or the one that best suits your application.
If you need to replace an MFPD pillow block or build a complete line, write to us on WhatsApp with the part number or model you are looking for. At MR Accesorios Industriales we quote you shortly and help you define the right unit for your equipment. We also manufacture split plummer block housings and custom parts, and we have more than 80 years of experience in bearings, power transmission and industrial accessories in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the number after MFPD mean?
- The final number identifies the shaft size for which the pillow block is made. That is why MFPD-31, MFPD-35 or MFPD-40 are not interchangeable with each other: each one fits a different diameter. To choose, take the part number stamped on the part or measure the shaft and ask us on WhatsApp.
- Can a pillow block from another brand be replaced with an MFPD one?
- In many cases yes, as long as the shaft diameter, the hole spacing and the center height match. A similar part number is not enough. Send us the dimensions of the original pillow block or a photo and we will tell you the available equivalent.
- How is a pillow block with insert bearing maintained?
- Insert lubrication is monitored according to working hours and the environment, the condition of the seals is checked and shaft alignment is verified. In applications with dust or frequent washdowns, it is advisable to inspect more often and renew the grease when appropriate.
