The MPD pillow block with SEALMASTER insert bearing is a mounted bearing: a unit that combines a cast housing and an insert bearing with an extended inner ring, ready to bolt to a flat base. It is used to guide and support rotating shafts in equipment where rigid support and simple mounting are required. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies this line in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and advises you on choosing the correct size for your shaft and application.

The MPD series designation reads as a size code: the letters identify the family of pillow blocks with insert bearing and the number that follows indicates the shaft size for which it is built. That is why references such as MPD-16, MPD-19, MPD-20, MPD-23, MPD-24, MPD-27, MPD-28 and MPD-31 coexist: each one corresponds to a different shaft diameter within the same series. When ordering your pillow block, provide the complete part number so we can give you the exact equivalent.

These pillow blocks appear in a huge variety of equipment: conveyor belts, bucket elevators, mixers, mills, centrifugal pumps, fans, screens and machines for the food, chemical, cement and aggregate industries. In Argentina they are found in animal feed plants, meatpacking plants, tanneries, ceramics plants and waste treatment facilities, whenever there is a shaft rotating on pillow block supports and a robust, easy-to-maintain mounting is sought.

To select the right pillow block, take into account the shaft diameter, the radial and axial load it will support, and the environmental conditions. The insert usually comes with labyrinth or contact sealing that retains grease and blocks dust and water; if the equipment operates with frequent washdowns or heavy dirt, it is best to prioritize that sealing. Check the alignment of the base and the tightening of the mounting bolts, and relubricate according to the duty cycle to extend bearing life.

As for interchangeability, pillow blocks with insert bearing are available from several brands and are normally replaced by shaft size and housing configuration. Matching diameter is not enough: you must compare the center height, the distance between holes and the type of insert locking. If your equipment has an MPD pillow block, write to us with the part number and brand of the original and we will indicate the compatible alternative within the SEALMASTER line.
