The Link-Belt CU series cartridge housing is a 300 series cartridge mounted bearing that fits directly into a cylindrical bore. It provides a compact, self-aligning support for moderate radial and axial loads. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this line to customers across the United States and Latin America.
The CU code starts with C and U, followed by a three-digit size number. In the 300 series, that number ties to a specific shaft diameter: as the number increases, so do the outside dimensions and load capacity. To match the right size, share the full part number from the nameplate or the old bearing.
These housings appear in belt conveyors, bucket elevators, mixers, mills, centrifugal pumps and other process equipment in food, chemical, cement and aggregate plants. Mounting in a cylindrical bore simplifies maintenance and cuts downtime, and it also lets you replace bearings in older machines without reworking the housing.
Selection depends on shaft diameter, load type (radial, axial or combined), rotation speed and the operating environment. Sealing matters: in dusty or wet areas, specify a lip seal or heavier-duty seals. During mounting, clean the bore, remove burrs, lubricate the raceway before inserting the cartridge, and align the housings carefully to avoid extra stresses.
Link-Belt CU series cartridge housings interchange with other brands of 300 series cartridge mounted bearings when the key dimensions match: shaft diameter, outside diameter and width. MR Industrial Accessories can point you to a compatible alternative from the brands it carries.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the designation CU314 mean?
- CU identifies the Link-Belt cartridge housing line. The 314 is a size in the 300 series: a higher number means a larger shaft diameter and greater load capacity. Send the full part number so we can quote the exact size.
- How do I check if a cartridge housing fits my equipment?
- Compare the shaft diameter, cartridge outside diameter and width with the original housing. If they match, it fits. Also review the seal type and lubrication. If unsure, send the dimensions by WhatsApp and we will help.
- What care does mounting a cartridge housing require?
- Clean the bore, remove burrs and confirm the surface is sound. Lubricate the raceway before inserting the cartridge and ensure it seats fully. Align the housings to prevent parasitic loads. Follow the manufacturer's tightening instructions.
