Description
LINK-BELT EPB224M60FH belongs to flange bearing 4 holes, part of our Bearing housings range. Tell us how many you need by WhatsApp or email and we'll get back to you promptly with a quote for EPB224M60FH and any equivalents.
The B22400 series from Link-Belt covers 4-bolt flange mounted units: an insert bearing seated in a square cast iron housing that fastens to a flat surface with four bolts. They suit drive arrangements that carry radial load plus a degree of axial thrust, and the flange pattern lets you position and align the unit on plates, frames and fabricated machine structures.
Read the code in sections. B22400 tells you which housing and insert family you are dealing with; the digits that follow the M give the shaft size in millimeters, and FH marks the 4-bolt flange version. That is why EPB224M60FH and EPB224M100FH use the same housing but take different shafts. Give us the complete reference together with the shaft size and the match is straightforward.
Typical duty covers conveyors, belt drives, elevators, mixers, blowers and process lines where the shaft is carried on a flange instead of a foot. Long shafts needing several support points turn up in food processing, cement, aggregates and water treatment. The four flange bolts hold the unit to steelwork or masonry, and the housing centers itself on the bolt pattern.
Selection comes down to shaft diameter, load type and thrust direction. Keep the mounting surface flat, then tighten the bolts in a cross pattern so the housing is not distorted. Sealing deserves attention: in dusty or wet areas an added seal protects the bearing. Grease goes in through the channel in the housing, and shaft alignment with the rest of the line should be confirmed before final tightening.
Interchange between brands works off shaft number, flange type and housing dimensions rather than the commercial code. Replacing a Link-Belt unit means comparing shaft diameter, hole spacing, center height and how the inner ring mounts. We can point you to the compatible option in the B22400 series or an equivalent line, and where the mounting calls for it we also make split plummer block housings.

Frequently asked questions
- Where is the shaft size shown in a Link-Belt B22400 code?
- It appears in millimeters after the M. EPB224M60FH, for instance, fits a 60 mm shaft. Measure the shaft itself before ordering, since the housing stays the same and only the insert changes.
- What does the FH suffix indicate?
- It identifies the 4-bolt flange version of the series, the one bolted to a flat surface. Foot and take-up housings use different mounting arrangements and carry different suffixes.
- Can a housing from another brand be replaced with a Link-Belt unit?
- Yes, if shaft diameter, flange hole spacing, center height and mounting type all line up. The code alone will not confirm it. Send the measurements or the equipment model and we will identify the compatible alternative.
