Link-Belt Mounted Bearings — U.S. Sourcing and Export Coordination

Link-Belt mounted bearing units remain in service on conveyors and process equipment worldwide. Send the unit part number, shaft size, and housing style with your destination country and H&H Exports will review U.S. sourcing options.

Overview

Link-Belt products and how H&H sources them

This page covers Link-Belt as a mounted-bearing brand used in industrial power transmission — pillow blocks, flange units, take-up units, and the bearing housings that go with them. It does not relate to unrelated companies or construction equipment that share the Link-Belt name, and buyers enquiring about cranes or excavators should not use this page.

Mounted bearing enquiries are dimensional as much as they are numerical. The unit number identifies the housing style and series, but the shaft size and the locking arrangement determine whether the unit will actually fit the machine, and the shaft on U.S.-built conveying equipment is very often an inch dimension.

Many of these requirements are legacy: the conveyor was installed decades ago and the plant needs the same unit again. H&H reviews the number supplied, asks about the mounting arrangement where it is not clear, and quotes what may be sourced without asserting that an older unit number is still produced.

Independent sourcing, not authorized distribution
H&H Exports is an independent U.S. export sourcing and procurement company. We do not claim authorized distributor status for Link-Belt, and all brand names and trademarks remain the property of their respective owners. Items may be available through established U.S. sourcing channels, confirmed per requirement.
Product types

Link-Belt product types H&H may be able to source

The groups below describe the kinds of Link-Belt items international buyers most often ask H&H to review. They are not an inventory listing — availability, lead time, country of origin, export eligibility, documentation, commercial terms, and specifications are confirmed against your exact part number, quantity, and destination.

Mounted ball bearing units

  • Pillow-block ball bearing units
  • Two- and four-bolt flange units
  • Take-up units and take-up frames
  • Cartridge and hanger units, where applicable

Mounted roller bearing units

  • Spherical roller bearing pillow blocks
  • Split and non-split roller bearing housings
  • Heavy-duty conveyor pulley bearing units
  • Flanged roller bearing units

Housings, components, and legacy items

  • Bearing housings supplied without inserts
  • Insert bearings, locking collars, and setscrew hardware
  • Seals and end covers for mounted units
  • Legacy unit designations for replacement-in-kind requirements
Part identification

Sourcing against your exact Link-Belt part number

Every quotation is built from the part number you supply. H&H does not select, substitute, or approve components on the buyer's behalf — submit your exact part number for review and we will confirm what can be sourced.

Where information is missing, we will come back with a specific question rather than quote an assumption. Photographs, nameplate images, and datasheets all help.

  • Send the complete unit designation as cast or stamped on the housing, including series letters and any dash numbers.
  • Confirm shaft diameter and state clearly whether it is an inch or a metric dimension — this is the single most common cause of an incorrect mounted-unit supply.
  • Confirm the housing style: pillow block, two-bolt flange, four-bolt flange, take-up, or cartridge.
  • Confirm the locking method: setscrew, eccentric collar, adapter sleeve, or concentric clamp.
  • State whether the requirement is the complete unit, the housing only, or the insert bearing only.
  • Bolt-hole centres and base height help confirm a match when the original designation is unreadable; photographs of the mounted unit in place are useful.

International procurement

Exporting Link-Belt requirements from the United States

H&H works with buyers outside the United States who need U.S.-sourced parts delivered to their own facility, customer, or project site. Read more about the broader process on international procurement, our capabilities, and global shipping and export destinations.

  • Mounted units are heavy relative to their value, so ocean freight is often the sensible routing; the quotation states which routing was assumed.
  • Cast housings need protective packing for long transits, and H&H coordinates packing appropriate to the destination and mode.
  • Country of origin and export eligibility are confirmed per item sourced rather than assumed from the brand.
  • Destination country and required delivery date are needed at enquiry stage for realistic routing and documentation.
Consolidation

Combining Link-Belt lines with other manufacturers

Most requirements H&H receives are not single-brand. Combining lines into one enquiry means one quotation, one purchase order, and — where eligible — one consolidated shipment. See multi-vendor consolidation and export documentation coordination.

  • Conveyor overhaul lists usually mix mounted units, belting hardware, drives, and seals — all can be quoted on one RFQ.
  • Consolidating a full conveyor spares package into one shipment reduces the number of customs entries and inbound receipts at destination.
  • Items are received at a designated U.S. receiving location and checked against the purchase order before consolidation.
FAQs

Link-Belt sourcing questions

Does this page cover Link-Belt cranes or construction equipment?
No. This page covers industrial mounted bearing products only. Enquiries for unrelated equipment sharing the Link-Belt name are outside its scope.
Can H&H supply just the housing or just the insert?
State which component you need. Housings, inserts, and complete units are quoted separately, and mixing them up is a frequent cause of RFQ delay.
My unit number is very old. Will it still be available?
H&H makes no availability claim in advance. Send the number with shaft size and housing style, and we will confirm what may be sourced.
