The 4-bolt flange Y-bearing bracket with insert bearing is a mounted unit that combines a cast iron housing with a ball insert bearing, ready to be fastened to a flat surface with four bolts. It is used to support rotating shafts in equipment where rigid, centered mounting is required, such as conveyor belts, mixers or fans. MR Accesorios Industriales carries the BROWNING line with square flange from the VF4S series in various shaft sizes.

The VF4S series designation is read in parts: VF indicates the 4-bolt flange, 4S the housing type and the final number the shaft diameter for which it is assembled. For example, VF4S-108 corresponds to a 1" 1/8 shaft, VF4S-112 to 1" 3/4 and VF4S-115 to 1" 15/16. The VF4S 100 series covers the most common inch shaft sizes, while the VF4S 300 groups the equivalent metric sizes. The numeric suffix does not change the housing type, only the bore size of the insert.

These brackets are found in food and beverage plants, in belt and screw conveyors, in mixers, in dryers and in aggregate processing equipment. They also appear in centrifugal fans, in pumps and in packaging lines. In Argentina they are found in sugar mills, meatpacking plants, milling plants and in the chemical industry, where the 4-bolt flange allows mounting onto sheet metal or structure without machining an additional seat.

To choose the bracket, start from the shaft diameter and the load type: the 4-bolt flange is suitable when the load is mainly radial and there is little axial thrust. Check that the insert has the correct sealing for the environment: single contact lip seal for dry dust, tighter seals for washdown or humidity. During mounting, rest the flange on a clean, flat surface, tighten the four bolts in a cross pattern and check that the shaft turns without axial play. The insert lubrication comes from the factory; replenish it according to the duty cycle.

Mounted brackets are available from several brands with their own nomenclatures, but shaft sizes and flange hole diameters usually match between equivalent lines. If you need to replace an existing bracket, the safest approach is to compare the hole spacing, the shaft diameter and the insert fastening type. MR Accesorios Industriales will indicate the compatible alternative within the BROWNING line or among the other brands it carries.

If you already have the bracket part number, send it by WhatsApp to MR Accesorios Industriales and we will quote it promptly. If you do not have it at hand, send us the shaft diameter, the flange hole spacing and a photo of the assembly, and we will help you identify the reference. We can also quote the insert bearing separately if you only need to replace that part.
