A LINK-BELT 200 series insert bearing is a ball bearing with an extended inner ring, made to sit in split or solid housings and create a support point for a rotating shaft. It suits transmission, conveying and process equipment where space is tight, mounting is straightforward and radial load capacity matters. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this line to customers across the United States, Canada, Mexico and South America.
Reading the 200 series code is a matter of breaking it into blocks. The leading letters tell you the insert type and how it locks to the shaft. The middle digits give the dimensional series. Any suffixes at the end cover sealing, lubrication or a special configuration. Take a reference like U2B08NL*■: prefix, series number and suffixes that define the seal or locking variant. For a quote, send the complete part number exactly as it is stamped on the insert or the housing.
You will find these inserts on belt conveyors, bucket elevators, mixers, mills, packaging lines and other process equipment in food, chemical, cement and aggregate plants. Fans, pumps and agricultural machinery also use them. Split housings with inserts make replacement easier because you do not have to dismantle the whole shaft.
Selection comes down to three things: shaft diameter, locking method (set screw, eccentric or adapter) and the sealing needed for the environment, whether that is dust, water or frequent washdown. During mounting, clean the housing, check alignment and lubricate according to the seal type. Tighten the set screws evenly to avoid distortion and help the bearing last.
LINK-BELT 200 series inserts interchange with other brands that follow the same dimensional nomenclature, as long as shaft diameter, inner ring width and locking system match. Ask for a quote and we can point you to a compatible alternative. Before replacing, check the set screw thread and the position of the lubrication hole.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I find the right part number for a LINK-BELT 200 series insert bearing?
- The number is built from family letters, series digits and suffixes for sealing or locking. Send the number stamped on the insert or housing, or the shaft and housing dimensions, and we will identify the exact reference.
- What is the difference between a set screw insert and an eccentric insert?
- A set screw insert locks the inner ring to the shaft with radial screws and suits moderate loads. An eccentric insert uses a ring that locks when rotated, mounts faster and is common on conveying equipment. Your choice depends on the load and maintenance plan.
- Are LINK-BELT 200 series inserts compatible with housings from other brands?
- Yes, if shaft diameter, inner ring width and locking system match. Tell us which housing you have when you request a quote, and we will confirm compatibility or suggest the best alternative for your application.
