HFB BTL K housings are one-piece, non-split bearing housings. The bearing is mounted inside the housing and the assembly is then secured to the machine frame or structure. They suit equipment where the shaft is assembled axially and where a rigid, compact housing is called for. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this line and quotes by part number over WhatsApp or email.

Reading the reference starts with the complete part number. The letters mark the non-split housing family, the number that follows sets the housing size, which in turn corresponds to the bearing it accepts, and the K suffix identifies the construction variant inside the series. That is why BTL 2211 K, BTL 2213 K and BTL 2216 K follow the same format yet differ in size and each takes a different bearing. Send the full part number when you request a quote.

Typical applications include conveyors, elevators, mixers, pumps, fans and process lines where a shaft runs on bearings inside a one-piece housing. Food, cement, aggregates, water treatment and chemical plants often specify them where side access is limited and the shaft is slid into place during assembly. They also appear in power transmission equipment and in machines where washdown or regular cleaning makes a split housing impractical.

Selection begins with the bearing you intend to mount: the BTL part number has to match its series and size. Verify shaft alignment against the mounting face, since a non-split housing does not compensate for misalignment the way a split housing does. Choose the sealing to suit the environment, adding protection for dust, water or frequent washdown. Lubrication and internal clearance follow the load type and working temperature. At assembly, seat the housing flat on the frame and tighten the bolts in a cross pattern.

Interchange between housing brands is settled by bearing size and housing type, not by the commercial part number. If you have a housing from another brand or an unidentified part, the housing size and the bearing it mounts will point to the equivalent BTL reference. In this series the number and the K suffix define size and variant, so compare those details before replacing. Send the part number or the size over WhatsApp or email and our team will confirm the compatible alternative and help you choose.

MR Industrial Accessories serves customers throughout the United States and in several Latin American countries, and manufactures split plummer block housings, roller chains and sheaves.
