Link-Belt MPS N pillow block housings hold 200 series bearings and let you mount a transmission shaft on a flat base. They are a practical choice when a shaft line needs stable support and the bearing has to come out without tearing down the whole machine. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies these housings to maintenance and purchasing teams throughout the United States and Latin America, and can help you confirm the right size.

The code tells you what you are holding. MPS marks the housing family, the trailing N indicates the mounting variant, and the digits in between (as in MPS216N, MPS219N or MPS223N) match the 200 series bearing size the unit accepts. Because the housing model and bearing size are combined in one code, the full designation is what you should send when you request a quote.

You will find these units on belt conveyors, bucket elevators, grinding and mixing lines, and process equipment in food, chemical and aggregate plants. They suit installations that call for a solid cast base and a mounting that stands up to dust, moisture and moderate loads. As pillow block units, they make bearing changes simpler and keep shaft height unchanged, so the existing structure does not need modification.

Selection starts with the shaft diameter and the bearing you plan to mount: the number in the MPS N code has to match that 200 series bearing. Before you tighten the bolts, check the base condition and alignment — an uneven base speeds up wear on both the bearing and the seal. Lubrication and sealing depend on the environment: heavy dirt or frequent washdowns call for a tighter closure and a shorter greasing interval.

On interchangeability, 200 series pillow block housings from different brands often share equivalent mounting dimensions, but mixing halves from different manufacturers is not recommended unless you verify heights and holes. A compatible alternative can be reviewed as long as the bearing size and base hole spacing stay the same. MR Industrial Accessories LLC can point you to the option that fits your equipment.

If you have the MPS N housing code or the number of the bearing it takes, send it by WhatsApp or email and the team will reply promptly with a quote. If you are replacing an existing unit and cannot find the original brand, share the shaft diameter and base hole layout and we will suggest a compatible solution.
