LINK-BELT L…R… pillow blocks are mounting units that support rotating shafts and bolt to the structure through a base. They are used in transmission, conveying and process equipment where rigid support and precise bearing alignment are needed. Depending on the working environment, different lubrication and sealing arrangements are available. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this line and helps you select the correct unit for your application.

The code on these pillow blocks tells you what you are holding. The L at the start identifies the pillow block family. The digits that follow relate to shaft diameter or load capacity. A suffix such as R1 or R2 marks a design variant, which can involve the seal type or the position of the mounting holes. For example, L78753R1 and L78853R2 share the same base but differ in that suffix. If you need to confirm the meaning for a specific code, send it to our team.

You will find these units in food processing, cement, mining, paper and material handling operations. They appear on belt conveyors, bucket elevators, mixers, mills and centrifugal pumps. Their construction handles moderate radial and axial loads, and they can be mounted on horizontal or inclined shafts.

Selection starts with four data points: shaft diameter, the load the unit will carry, rotation speed and environmental conditions. The seal choice follows from the environment. A labyrinth seal suits dusty areas, while a contact lip seal is used where liquids are present. During installation, align the base with the shaft, tighten the fastening bolts and lubricate the bearing according to the duty cycle. Correct lubrication and accurate alignment help the assembly reach its expected service life.

LINK-BELT pillow blocks can be interchanged with units from other brands that follow equivalent standards, including SKF, FAG or NSK, as long as mounting dimensions and load capacity match. Always compare drawings and tolerances before replacing a unit. Our team can point you to a compatible alternative for your equipment without compromising performance or safety.
