The LINK-BELT 200 series pillow block is a mounting unit designed to hold an insert bearing and attach it to a machine frame using two base holes. It provides stable support for transmission shafts in conveyors, elevators, mixers and other process equipment where alignment and rigidity matter. MR Industrial Accessories LLC offers this line to customers throughout the United States and Latin America.

The part number follows a logical structure: the first letters indicate the unit type, the 200 series identifies the insert bearing family, and the remaining digits specify shaft diameter and housing style. For example, PT3S2B08E breaks down into pillow block type, series, shaft size and sealing or locking variation. This coding allows precise identification without ambiguity.

Typical applications include belt and chain conveyors, bucket elevators, mixers, screens, mills, pumps and fans. They are also found in food processing, cement, aggregate and water treatment plants. The pillow block supports the shaft on a flat base and accommodates moderate radial and axial loads, making it a common choice when the shaft runs parallel to the mounting surface.

When selecting a unit, consider shaft diameter, load characteristics and mounting position. Verify that the base sits flat without distortion, that bolt holes align with the baseplate, and that the shaft is properly aligned with the drive equipment. The insert seal determines protection against dust, water or washdown; lubrication and internal clearance should match operating speed and temperature. Careful alignment during installation helps extend service life.

Pillow block units from different manufacturers can be interchangeable if shaft diameter, center height, hole spacing and insert type match. In practice, you can replace the complete unit with one of the same configuration, or simply change the insert bearing if the housing remains in good condition. Always compare mounting dimensions before substituting a unit from another source.
