The Y-bearing 3-bolt flange unit is an assembled set that combines a cast iron housing with a self-aligning insert bearing. It is used to mount rotating shafts on flat structures, with the flange resting flat and three fastening points. The BROWNING VF3S 100-M series covers different shaft sizes and is a common solution in transmission equipment that needs rigid yet adjustable support.

The designation of this series is read in blocks: VF3S identifies the 3-bolt flange housing, 100-M corresponds to the insert series, and the middle number indicates the shaft size. In the examples, VF3S-108M and VF3S-110M share the same housing and change the insert diameter; VF3S-114M and VF3S-116M follow that logic. The suffix M distinguishes the insert's sealing variant. The complete part number defines the assembly unambiguously.

These units are seen in belt conveyors, bucket elevators, mixers, screens and process lines in food, chemical and aggregate plants. In Argentina they are common in milling equipment, bottling plants and material handling systems where the shaft must be supported on a plate or frame. The three-bolt flange allows fastening on flat surfaces with limited access, which is common in compact machines.

To choose the unit, start from the shaft diameter and confirm that the insert is self-aligning and has the sealing suited to the environment: dust, water or washdown. Mounting requires the flange to rest without deforming and the three bolts to be tightened evenly. Check shaft alignment with the adjacent support and lubricate the insert according to the seal type. If the equipment runs with vibration, check bolt tightness and seal condition.

Insert bearing units are interchanged between brands by dimensional equivalents: same shaft diameter, same hole spacing and same flange type. The BROWNING VF3S 100-M series can be replaced by assemblies from other firms that respect those dimensions. To find the equivalent, send the complete part number and shaft dimensions; at MR Accesorios Industriales we point you to the compatible alternative.
