A hanger bearing from the Link-Belt 200 series is a mounted unit that suspends from the structure to hold a shaft at an intermediate point along a long transmission run. You will find it on line shafts, conveyors and elevators where the shaft needs extra support between main bearings. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this Link-Belt line and helps you match the correct variant to your shaft and mounting arrangement.

Reading the code is straightforward once you know the blocks. The letters at the start point to the hanger bearing family, the number in the middle tells you the mounted bearing series, and the suffix at the end identifies the construction variant. Take CHBS2M30E, CHBS2M35E and CHBS2M40E: they share the same base, and the middle number changes with the shaft diameter the housing is machined for. That middle number is the key detail to have ready when you request a quote.

Typical applications include belt and chain conveyors, bucket elevators, screw conveyors, and line shafts in grain plants, mills, feed plants and material handling operations. They also show up in food, chemical, cement and aggregate facilities where a long line shaft needs a support point so it does not flex or vibrate, and in process equipment running under continuous load that requires support between two main bearings.

Selection starts with the shaft diameter and the mounting style your structure allows. From there, define the sealing: dusty, wet or washdown conditions call for more closed protection, while high-temperature areas require a review of the lubricant and seal material. During installation, align the hanger bearing with the main bearings, tighten the mounting without distorting the housing, and lubricate according to the duty cycle. Misalignment speeds up wear on both the bearing and the seal.

Hanger bearings from various brands, each with their own designation system, are used side by side. Shaft diameter alone does not settle interchangeability: you also need to compare the bearing type, how it attaches to the shaft, the sealing and the mounting dimensions. We can point you to the compatible option and quote it. The Link-Belt 200 series is a widely used reference with equivalents in other mounted bearing lines.

To get a quote, send the code from the nameplate or drawing, or the shaft diameter plus a photo of the installation, via WhatsApp or email. With that information we quote the corresponding Link-Belt reference and suggest a compatible alternative if your application calls for a different configuration.
