For equipment that needs a stable, pre-aligned shaft support, the Link-Belt PLB series offers a mounted bearing in a cast iron housing. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this line to plants, workshops and OEMs across the United States and Latin America, and can help you match the right part number to your application.
The part number itself tells you a lot. PLB marks the pillow block family; the two digits that follow, such as in PLB66 or PLB68, set the housing size and load capacity. After the M comes the shaft size: PLB66M220FR and PLB66M260FR take larger shafts, while PLB68M90FR and PLB68M100FR use smaller ones. The FR suffix at the end identifies the sealing and locking arrangement of the bearing insert.
You will find these units on belt conveyors, bucket elevators, mills, mixers, pumps and industrial fans. They suit food processing, cement, mining and aggregate operations where dust, moisture or vibration are present, as well as material handling equipment and process lines that call for a sturdy, easily replaced support.
When selecting a pillow block, check shaft diameter, radial and axial loads, and the sealing needed for the environment. PLB units bolt down to flat surfaces; align the supports carefully to avoid stressing the bearing. Use the lubricant specified for your operating temperature, and rely on the FR seal to keep lubricant in and contaminants out. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for tightening and startup.
Link-Belt PLB pillow blocks can interchange with mounted bearings from other brands when shaft dimensions, mounting height and hole spacing line up. For a quote, send the complete part number and your working conditions; MR Industrial Accessories LLC will suggest a compatible alternative if needed.
