The VFBS flange bracket with insert bearing is a flange assembly that combines a cast 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 mounting and simple alignment are required. Browning offers it within its mounted bearing line, and MR Accesorios Industriales sells it in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

The VFBS designation identifies a flange bracket with insert bearing from the VFBS 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 mounting your equipment requires on 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 power transmission systems in general. The flange allows the assembly to be mounted 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 mounting holes suitable for your installation. During mounting, ensure the support surface is clean and flat, and align the shaft with the bracket to avoid side loads. Lubrication of the insert 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, the hole spacing and the insert type. If you have doubts, send us the original part number or the main dimensions and we will indicate the compatible alternative from Browning or another brand we sell.
