BROWNING VFBS-212 is a flange mounted bearing reference, within Bearing housings. Request a quote for VFBS-212 via WhatsApp or email with the quantity you need; we respond promptly with lead time and equivalents.

The VFBS bracket with insert bearing is a flange assembly that combines a cast iron housing with an insert bearing, ready to mount on a flat surface. It is used to guide and support rotating shafts in power transmission equipment, where rigid fastening and simple alignment are required. Browning offers it within its mounted bearing line, and MR Accesorios Industriales distributes it in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

The VFBS designation identifies a flange bracket with insert bearing from the VFBS 200 series. The number following the hyphen, as in VFBS-212 or VFBS-222, indicates the insert size and the shaft diameter the assembly accepts. Examples VFBS-214, VFBS-215, VFBS-216, VFBS-218, VFBS-219 and VFBS-220 show the progression of sizes available within the same series. To choose the correct part number, have the shaft diameter and the type of fastening your equipment needs at hand.

These brackets are used in conveyors, mixers, fans, pumps and process lines in food, chemical and materials plants. In Argentina, you find them in grain handling equipment, aggregate processing plants and transmission systems in general. The flange allows mounting the assembly on a flat face of the frame or machine, with direct access for mounting and maintenance.

To select the bracket, verify that the shaft diameter matches the insert and that the flange has the appropriate mounting holes for your setup. During mounting, ensure the support surface is clean and flat, and align the shaft with the bracket to avoid side loads. Insert lubrication and sealing against dust and moisture are key to service life, especially in environments with particles or frequent washdowns.

Mounted bearings from different brands are often interchangeable if they share the shaft size and flange type. When looking for a replacement, compare the shaft diameter, hole spacing and insert type. If you have doubts, send us the original part number or main dimensions and we will indicate the compatible alternative from Browning or another brand we distribute.

MR Accesorios Industriales distributes the Browning line of mounted bearings and brackets, with more than 80 years of experience in industrial distribution. If you need to request a quote for a VFBS bracket or solve an application, write to us on WhatsApp with the part number or shaft dimensions. We will respond shortly with the option that best suits your equipment.
