The Link-Belt 6800 series split plummer block housing holds and supports a bearing in power transmission systems. Because it comes in two halves, you can install or remove it without pulling the shaft apart, which keeps maintenance work simpler. You will find it on conveyors, mills, pumps and fans where shafts need reliable support and alignment. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this line.
Reading the code helps you identify the right unit. The prefix PKLB points to the Link-Belt split plummer block housing family. The digits that follow describe size and layout; for instance, PKLB6839FD8 is a 6800 series housing with its own dimensions. The FD8 suffix covers construction details such as sealing type or locking method. Other codes in the series include PKLB6847FD8, PKLB6855FD8, PKLB6871FD8, PKLB6879FD8 and PKLB68103FD8, giving you options across a range of shaft diameters.
These housings show up in food processing, cement, mining, paper and aggregate operations. Typical equipment includes belt conveyors, bucket elevators, mixers, mills and pumping units. The split design lets you swap the bearing without taking apart other system components, cutting downtime. They also suit setups where a shaft needs intermediate support with correct alignment and protection from contaminants.
When choosing a housing, look at the shaft diameter, the bearing type it will hold and the operating conditions. Match the sealing to the environment: dusty, wet or high-temperature areas call for the right protective configuration. During mounting, check that both halves align and tighten the bolts evenly. Use the lubrication specified for the bearing and its duty cycle. Careful installation helps the assembly last and avoids early failures.
Link-Belt 6800 series housings can be swapped with equivalent products from other brands when the critical dimensions line up: shaft diameter, center distance between mounting points, height to center and bearing type. Always confirm dimensional and functional compatibility before replacing a unit. MR Industrial Accessories can help you find the right alternative for your equipment. Interchangeability depends on dimensions and required performance, not just the code.
