This LINK-BELT insert is a single-row ball bearing built with an extended inner ring, made to sit inside split housings and in wall or pillow block units. It suits shafts that turn continuously and need a support assembly that can be removed, realigned and swapped out on site without major teardown.

Reading the reference takes a moment. UBG points to the insert family, the digits after it give the size inside the 200 series, and NL marks a particular sealing and locking version. Larger sizes carry one more letter near the end of the code, which signals a different internal construction in the same series. For that reason, a replacement request should always carry the complete code rather than the size number alone.

Typical service includes belt conveyors, bucket elevators, mixers, screens, mills and process lines that run continuously. Plants handling food, cement, ceramics, meat and aggregates rely on them where dust, moisture or washdown is part of daily operation. Material handling equipment and machines running long shifts also use them, since the split housing lets maintenance crews change the bearing without pulling the whole shaft.

Selection starts with the shaft diameter and the housing seat, so the insert locks in with the intended fit and no axial movement. Next comes the sealing choice, which depends on whether the area carries abrasive dust, water or steam. Use the lubricant specified for the operating temperature, and mount with a clean, burr-free shaft that lines up correctly with the housing. Misalignment is the most common cause of shortened insert life.

Similar standard dimensions exist across brands, yet inserts are often not interchangeable, because inner ring width, locking method, sealing and hole locations can differ. If the exact reference is unavailable, a compatible option can be reviewed by comparing those critical dimensions and the mounting style. We will point you to the alternative that fits your equipment and quote it if needed.

Have the insert code ready, along with the shaft diameter and a photo of the housing. Send that on WhatsApp or by email and we will quote the LINK-BELT reference or the equivalent that solves the application. We serve customers throughout the United States and in several Latin American countries, and our team responds promptly.
