Description
LINK-BELT ER20SKCL belongs to insert bearing, part of our Bearings range. Tell us how many you need by WhatsApp or email and we'll get back to you promptly with a quote for ER20SKCL and any equivalents.
For transmission and conveying equipment that runs on rotating shafts, the LINK-BELT Centrik-Lok insert bearing offers a compact radial support that installs into split housings, hubs and boxes. Its single row ball bearing design includes an extended inner ring and an eccentric locking mechanism, so it can be secured firmly and taken apart without complications. That combination suits maintenance schedules where downtime needs to stay short.
Reading the code tells you most of what you need. The ER prefix starts the Centrik-Lok series, the two digits that follow give the shaft diameter in inches, and SKCL closes the reference to indicate eccentric locking. So ER20SKCL is a bearing for a 20-inch shaft with Centrik-Lok locking. Send that code by WhatsApp or email and the quote process moves quickly.
You will find these insert bearings in belt conveyors, bucket elevators, mixers, mills and continuous process lines, as well as in agricultural machinery, food plants and material handling systems. They work where a sturdy radial support must tolerate contamination. Because they belong to the LINK-BELT line, they are a frequent choice for imported or US-designed equipment that already uses this housing arrangement.
When choosing a bearing, check the shaft diameter, whether the load is radial, axial or combined, and the operating environment. Sealing deserves attention: in dusty or humid areas, verify the seal type and plan suitable lubrication. Centrik-Lok mounting calls for a clean shaft, the recommended torque and a check of alignment to prevent parasitic stresses. Proper greasing and periodic re-tightening help the assembly last.
Interchange is possible with eccentric locking insert bearings from other brands when the main dimensions, seal type and locking system agree. Matching shaft diameter alone is not enough: compare inner ring width, locking hole position and set screw thread. If anything is unclear, send the original code and we will point you to a compatible alternative.

Frequently asked questions
- What does SKCL mean in ER20SKCL?
- SKCL indicates the Centrik-Lok locking system, an eccentric mechanism that secures the inner ring to the shaft. It belongs to the LINK-BELT Centrik-Lok series and allows fast mounting and straightforward disassembly without harming the shaft.
- How can I tell if this bearing will replace the one on my machine?
- Check the shaft diameter, inner ring width, locking hole position and seal type. When those match, interchange is likely. Send the original code via WhatsApp and we will confirm the equivalent.
- What lubrication should I use on a Centrik-Lok insert bearing?
- A good quality lithium grease that suits the temperature and load of the equipment. Apply the recommended amount and re-grease according to the duty cycle. Do not mix greases with different bases, as performance can suffer.
