Link-Belt CL series pillow blocks are mounted bearing units with a base designed for bolting to a structure, providing support for rotating shafts in power transmission equipment. The series includes multiple part numbers, such as PL3CL2M17N and PL3CL2M50N, which combine the housing size with the shaft diameter.

Reading the part number reveals key details: PL indicates the pillow block type, CL identifies the series, M denotes the locking system or bearing type, and the following number—17, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, or 50—specifies the shaft diameter in millimeters. A final N marks a construction variant. For example, PL3CL2M30N is for a 30 mm shaft, while PL3CL2M45N suits a 45 mm shaft.

Common applications include belt and roller conveyors, bucket elevators, mixers, mills, centrifugal pumps, industrial fans, and processing lines in food, chemical, cement, and aggregate plants. These pillow blocks are often found in equipment from recognized brands and in replacement assemblies where a robust, easily aligned unit is required.

To select the right unit, check the shaft diameter and the bearing type—the CL series accepts deep groove ball or roller bearings depending on the variant. Also consider radial and axial loads, rotational speed, and environmental conditions. During installation, ensure a flat, rigid base, align the housing with the shaft, and tighten bolts evenly. Proper lubrication and sealing against dust and moisture extend service life.

Link-Belt CL series pillow blocks can often replace equivalent units from other brands if they share the same shaft height, hole spacing, and housing diameter. However, interchangeability is not automatic: two units with the same shaft diameter may differ in mounting distance or overall height. Compare critical dimensions before substituting. If you cannot find the exact reference, send the part number via WhatsApp or email, and we will suggest a compatible alternative.
