Description
BROWNING VF2E-208 is a flange bearing 2 holes reference, within Bearing housings. Request a quote for VF2E-208 via WhatsApp or email with the quantity you need; we respond promptly with lead time and equivalents.
The flange Y-housing with insert bearing is an assembled unit that combines a cast iron housing with two mounting holes and an insert bearing with an extended inner ring, designed to mount rotating shafts on flat structures. It is bolted to the flange and leaves the shaft perpendicular to the mounting surface, which simplifies installation on machines where there is no space for a base plate. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies the BROWNING line in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The series designation is read in blocks. The letters VF identify the flange housing and the E the variant with insert bearing; the number that follows indicates the number of mounting holes, two in this case. The hyphen separates the base code from the shaft size: in VF2E-108, VF2E-110 or VF2E-112 only the numeric suffix changes, which scales with the shaft diameter. The series is divided into VF2E 100 and VF2E 200, two size ranges covering applications from light equipment to larger transmissions.
These housings appear in belt and screw conveyors, packaging belts, mixers, blowers, exhausters, bucket elevators and food processing lines. In Argentina they are seen in grain plants, meat processing plants, tanneries, water treatment plants and metalworking shops, always where the shaft is mounted on a plate or frame and a two-bolt flange is preferable to a base plate. The cast iron housing absorbs the shaft loads and the insert allows it to rotate with self-alignment.
To choose the correct size, start from the shaft diameter and the type of load: predominantly radial in belt or chain drives, and some axial load in propellers and screw conveyors. Check the insert sealing according to the environment: dust, water or frequent washing require more closed seals and, if applicable, periodic relubrication with the indicated lubricant. During mounting, rest the flange on a flat, clean surface, tighten the screws in a cross pattern and check that the shaft is aligned with the drive equipment so as not to load the insert.
Interchangeability between brands is resolved by flange dimensions, hole spacing and shaft diameter, not by the commercial part number. A housing from another company with the same combination of dimensions can replace the original, but it is advisable to also compare the type of insert locking to the shaft and the sealing before defining it. If the equipment comes with a worn housing, send us the old part number or the flange dimensions and we will indicate the compatible alternative from the BROWNING line.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I identify the shaft size of a VF2E housing?
- The numeric suffix after the hyphen scales with the shaft diameter: VF2E-108, VF2E-110 and VF2E-112 correspond to increasing sizes. To confirm the one your equipment needs, send the complete part number by WhatsApp and we will indicate the equivalent option.
- What is the difference between the VF2E 100 and VF2E 200 series?
- They are two size ranges within the same family of flange housings with insert bearing. The 100 covers smaller shafts and the 200 the larger ones. If you do not know which one your size falls into, send us the shaft diameter and the part number of the current housing.
- Can a housing from another brand be replaced by a BROWNING one?
- Yes, as long as the shaft diameter, the flange hole spacing and the insert locking type match. Comparing those dimensions defines the equivalence. Send the dimensions or the part number of the old housing and we will indicate the compatible alternative.
