The LINK-BELT 23100 series covers 4-bolt flange bearing units: an insert bearing seated in a flange housing that bolts straight onto a flat mounting face. They suit shafts on conveyors, mixers and other process equipment where the mounting area is tight and has to stay rigid. MR supplies this line and can help you match a unit to your shaft and working conditions.

Read the code in sections. PLB marks the 4-bolt flange, 23100 is the insert bearing series, and the K suffix plus the trailing figures give the shaft diameter and the locking method. PLB23144K8, for instance, pairs the 23100 series with an 8-inch shaft, and PLB23148K81516 carries the 15/16 locking variant. Longer references such as PLB23152K9716 and PLB23160K101516 express shaft sizes in fractions of an inch. Quote the complete code from the nameplate or drawing when you contact us.

These units show up in food and beverage, cement, mining, aggregate processing and material handling operations, on belt conveyors and bucket elevators, and also on mixers, rotary dryers and continuous process lines. They are a common choice where LINK-BELT housings are already installed and a unit has to be swapped out without reworking the base. Our team assists maintenance and purchasing staff with code identification and with locating a compatible alternative.

Selection comes down to three things: shaft diameter, locking style (set screw, eccentric or adapter) and the sealing the environment demands, whether that is dust, water or regular washdown. Bolt the 4-bolt flange to a flat, rigid surface, line it up with the shaft and tighten the bolts in a cross pattern so the housing does not distort. Lubrication follows the insert type and the operating temperature. Under vibration, check clearance and confirm the set screws stay tight. For axial load, ask us which bearing configuration fits.

Interchange between brands is possible on 4-bolt flange bearings when the bolt hole spacing, shaft diameter and locking type line up. A similar series number alone proves nothing: compare the housing drawing and the center height. We can point you to a compatible option from our range or quote one to order. Send the code or model you need by WhatsApp and we will respond promptly.

MR carries the LINK-BELT line. If you need a 23100 series flange bearing, message us on WhatsApp with the full code or with your shaft and flange dimensions. We will quote the unit and, where useful, advise you so the mounting is aligned and lubricated correctly from the start.
