The LINK-BELT 200 series is a ball insert bearing with an extended inner ring, made to sit in split plummer block housings and take-up units. It suits shafts that must be located and locked, with sealing that holds lubricant in and keeps dust and moisture out. Conveying, milling and general industrial equipment are typical places to find it.
Reading the code helps you order the right piece. In WB2B08EL, the letters WB mark the insert type and locking arrangement, 2B belongs to the series, 08 sets the shaft size, and the EL suffix covers the seal and insert variant. Copy the complete code from the housing or from the worn part.
Typical mounting points are split plummer blocks, take-up frames and wall units on belt conveyors, bucket elevators, mixers, mills and process lines. Dust, moisture and washdown are common in these areas, as they are in food plants, cement works, quarries, aggregate operations and packaging lines, plus agricultural and material handling machinery.
When choosing a replacement, work from three points: shaft diameter, how the insert locks to the shaft, and the sealing the surroundings demand. The EL suffix points to one particular seal arrangement, so check it against the part being replaced. Set the insert into the housing without hammering the outer ring, tighten the locking screws with the correct wrench, confirm shaft alignment, then lubricate. Re-greasing on schedule and re-checking screw torque keep the assembly running.
Interchange between brands is possible in the 200 series when bore, locking method and sealing line up. Mixed combinations are not always equal: a set screw insert and an eccentric collar insert do not swap, and the seal choice affects how the bearing behaves where dirt is present. Shaft dimensions plus a photo of the housing are enough for us to point you to a compatible option.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I find the insert I need?
- Check the code stamped on the insert or housing. In the 200 series the middle number gives the shaft diameter and the suffix gives the sealing. Send that code by WhatsApp or email and we will quote the replacement.
- Will it fit a housing from a different brand?
- It can, provided shaft diameter, locking method and sealing match. Not every 200 series insert interchanges with every other. Share the dimensions and we will suggest a compatible alternative.
- What lubrication does this insert take?
- Most applications use a sealed, pre-lubricated bearing. Where the equipment has a grease fitting, follow the housing manufacturer's instruction. In washdown areas, pick the sealing variant suited to that environment.
