Link-Belt PT…S…E Series 200 pillow blocks are mounted units that support rotating shafts in power transmission systems. They provide rigid support with a self-aligning bearing and are common in conveyors, fans, mixers, and process machinery. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this line and helps you select the right unit based on shaft diameter and load conditions.

The part number breaks down as follows: PT stands for pillow block, the number after S is the shaft diameter in inches, and the final E denotes the sealing variant. Examples include PT3S210E, PT3S211E, PT3S212E, PT3S214E, PT3S215E, PT3S216E, PT3S218E, and PT3S219E, covering shafts from 1 inch to 2 inches. All are part of Series 200, the medium-duty line of Link-Belt mounted pillow blocks.

These pillow blocks are used in belt and chain conveyors, bucket elevators, centrifugal fans, mixers, mills, and process equipment across food, chemical, and aggregate plants. They also appear in agricultural machinery and packaging lines where the support must handle radial loads and some axial thrust while maintaining alignment. The base can be bolted to sheet metal structures or steel profiles.

When selecting a pillow block, start with the shaft diameter and the load type: primarily radial or combined. Make sure the mounting surface is flat and rigid, and that the bolts are tightened correctly. The E seal guards against dust and splashes; in high humidity or with fine particles, inspect the seal lips and lubrication regularly. Alignment between pillow blocks is achieved through internal clearance, but the structure itself must be level.

Series 200 mounted pillow blocks can be interchanged between brands by shaft number and base configuration, but hole dimensions and heights may differ. There is no universal equivalent, so always compare drawings or key measurements before replacing. In the Link-Belt line, Series 200 is the medium-duty reference, and the suffixes indicate seal type and diameter. If you are unsure, send us the complete part number and we will identify a compatible alternative.

MR Industrial Accessories supplies the Link-Belt line and manufactures split plummer block housings, ANSI roller chains, and sheaves.
