Link-Belt ZAF pillow block housings arrive as a single unit, with the cast iron housing and bearing pre-assembled. They support rotating shafts where a solid base and protection against dust, water, and lubricant loss are important. MR Industrial Accessories supplies these units and provides quotes by part number through WhatsApp or email.

The ZAF code points to the Link-Belt 5000 series of pillow block housings. The four digits break down into two pairs: the first pair indicates the series and housing size, while the second pair covers the shaft diameter and mounting style. So ZAF5115, ZAF5203, and ZAF5307 belong to the same family but differ in size and shaft fit. Always include the full code when requesting a quote, because that is what identifies the exact unit.

You will find these housings on belt conveyors, bucket elevators, mixers, mills, packaging lines, and process equipment. In food, chemical, cement, and aggregate plants, they are selected for their rugged housing and sealing, which handle dust, moisture, and frequent washdowns. They also appear on material handling systems and low to medium speed transmission shafts.

When selecting a housing, consider shaft diameter and length, radial and axial loads, and the direction of force on the housing. Installation calls for a flat base, proper shaft alignment, and even bolt tightening to avoid deforming the unit. Check the seal based on the environment: a clean area differs from one with water or abrasives. Inspect lubrication and internal clearance at startup and during each maintenance stop.

In the market, housings from various brands with similar mounting dimensions are available. Interchangeability depends on shaft diameter, center height, hole spacing, and fixing type, not on the commercial code. If the ZAF you need is not listed, send us the shaft and base measurements, and we will suggest a compatible alternative or quote a custom solution.
