Description
BROWNING VF3S-120SM is a flange bearing 3 holes reference, within Bearing housings. Request a quote for VF3S-120SM via WhatsApp or email with the quantity you need; we respond promptly with lead time and equivalents.
The VF3S housing with insert bearing is a 3-bolt flange mounted unit that combines a cast iron housing with a ball insert bearing, ready to bolt onto a flat surface. It is used to guide and support shafts in equipment where the mounting must be perpendicular to the mounting face, with simple alignment and easy maintenance. Browning is a brand that MR Accesorios Industriales sells in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The VF3S designation is read in parts: the letters VF indicate the flange housing type, the 3 corresponds to the number of mounting holes, and the S distinguishes the housing variant. The SM suffix indicates the insert sealing type. In the example VF3S-120SM, the number 120 identifies the nominal shaft diameter for which the unit is intended. The VF3S 100-M series groups these 3-bolt flanges with interchangeable insert.
These housings appear in belt conveyors, packaging lines, mixers, blowers, exhausters and process lines in food, chemical and materials plants. In Argentina they are seen in milling equipment, bucket elevators and machinery in the meatpacking industry, where the 3-bolt flange allows the shaft to be fixed to a sheet or structure without machining a housing.
To choose correctly, take into account the shaft diameter, the sealing type according to the environment (dust, humidity or washdown), and whether the insert allows relubrication or is lifetime lubricated. During mounting, place the flange on a clean, flat surface, tighten the three bolts evenly and check that the shaft turns without effort. Proper lubrication and careful alignment extend the life of the unit.
Insert bearing housings from different brands are often interchangeable if the shaft diameter, hole layout and flange dimensions match. When requesting a quote, it is advisable to compare those dimensions and the sealing type before replacing one unit with another. If the part number does not match, the compatible alternative with the same function can be found.
If you need a VF3S housing or its equivalent, send the part number or model via WhatsApp to MR Accesorios Industriales. We will quote it shortly and, if applicable, indicate the compatible alternative for your equipment. We can also advise you on mounting and lubrication of the unit.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the code VF3S-120SM mean?
- VF indicates flange housing, 3 the number of holes, S the housing variant and SM the sealing type. The 120 corresponds to the nominal shaft diameter. With that code we can identify the unit and quote it.
- How do I know if it replaces another housing I have mounted?
- Compare the shaft diameter, the distance between holes and the outer diameter of the flange. If they match, the replacement is usually direct. Send us the dimensions or the old code via WhatsApp and we will indicate the compatible alternative.
- What type of maintenance does it require?
- It depends on the insert sealing. There are lifetime and relubricable versions. In dusty or humid environments, check the condition of the seal and lubricate according to the type. We advise you at the time of quoting.
