The ER-K insert from LINK-BELT is a single-row ball bearing whose inner ring is extended, so it seats in split plummer block housings as well as in wall or floor-mounted units. It suits shafts on supports that need periodic alignment and greasing. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this line and can point you to the right part number once the shaft size and housing style are known.

Reading the code helps when you order a replacement. The ER letters mark the extended-inner-ring insert family. The digits that come after state the nominal shaft diameter in inches. The trailing K tells this variant apart from others in the same series. The safest route is to copy the full number stamped on the housing or on the bearing being removed.

Typical duty includes belt conveyors, bucket elevators, mixers, mills, screens and other process machinery in food, chemical and aggregate operations. Fans and medium-sized centrifugal pumps also use them. Many plants keep maintenance work on these units scheduled while the line is stopped.

Selection comes down to two basics: the shaft diameter and the housing the insert will sit in. Because the inner ring is extended, the bearing can be locked to the shaft either with set screws or with a collar, depending on how the housing is built. Look at the sealing arrangement as well. Contact seals handle dust and moisture, and in heavily contaminated areas extra protection is worth considering. Correct grease and a well-aligned housing help the assembly last.

Interchange between brands is usually possible when the key dimensions line up: shaft diameter, outer diameter and inner ring width. A similar-looking part number is not enough, since the shaft fixing method also has to match. If your housing came from another maker, send the old number and we will identify the compatible LINK-BELT option.
