A mounted pillow block from the Link-Belt BP-LB6800 series pairs an insert bearing with a pillow housing, so the unit arrives ready to bolt onto a bedplate or frame. It supports rotating shafts in transmission, conveying and process equipment where a sturdy unit and straightforward alignment are what the job calls for. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this line and helps you sort out which variant fits your application.

Read the code in blocks. BP stands for pillow block, LB points to the Link-Belt line, and 6800 marks the housing and insert bearing family. References such as BP-LB6863F, BP-LB6872F and BP-LB6879F carry an extra number that sets the size, plus suffixes that can signal the sealing arrangement or how the insert is built. The series table is the reliable way to decode a full reference, or you can send us the complete code and we will break it down.

You will find these housings across food and beverage plants, material handling, steel, cement, water treatment and general process equipment. Belt conveyors, bucket elevators, mixers, pumps and fans are typical homes for them, since the pillow housing bolts easily to steel or concrete structures. Depending on the insert bearing inside, the assembly takes radial loads and a degree of axial thrust.

Shaft diameter, load type and site conditions drive the selection. Sealing deserves close attention: dusty, damp or frequently washed-down areas call for heavier protection. Check the internal clearance too, along with how the insert locks to the shaft, whether by set screws, adapter sleeve or eccentric collar. Careful alignment and proper lubrication at mounting pay off, because misalignment speeds up wear on both bearing and housing.

Pillow blocks from different manufacturers interchange when the key dimensions line up: center height, hole spacing, shaft diameter and insert type. Link-Belt keeps its own nomenclature, and equivalents from other makers are out there. Replacing an existing housing is easiest by comparing those critical measurements, or by sending a photo of the nameplate so we can pin down the compatible option.
