Link-Belt series 200 3-bolt flange housings are mounted units that combine an insert bearing with a triangular flange housing. They are used to support rotating shafts on flat structures, where the flange is bolted directly to the sheet metal or frame. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies this line as a brand and advises you on choosing the correct variant according to shaft diameter and locking type.

The designation of these housings is read in blocks. The initial letter F indicates a 3-bolt flange; the first number after the F indicates the housing type or its configuration; the S corresponds to the insert bearing series; the following two digits identify the nominal shaft diameter in sixteenths of an inch; and the final E distinguishes the insert design, usually with set screw or eccentric collar. Therefore, a part number such as F3S210E is not interchangeable with F3S211E: the shaft size changes. Send me the complete part number and we will quote the exact variant.

These housings appear in belt conveyors, bucket elevators, mixers, rotary dryers and packaging lines. In the Argentine market they are seen in food, cement, grain and chemical industry plants, where the 3-bolt flange allows mounting on sheet metal profiles without machining. They are also chosen in equipment where the shaft must be perpendicular to the mounting surface and the housing must absorb small misalignments inherent to assembly.

To select correctly, first look at the shaft diameter and then the insert type: there are versions with set screws, with eccentric collar or with taper adapter. The flange housing can be cast iron or stamped steel, depending on the series. During assembly, place the flange on a clean, flat surface, tighten the three bolts in a cross pattern and check that the shaft turns freely. Lubrication of the insert and sealing against dust and water are key to service life; if the environment is humid, additional protection is advisable.

Regarding equivalences, series 200 3-bolt flange housings with insert bearing are available from several brands, but flange dimensions and center height do not always match between manufacturers. Do not rely only on the part number: compare shaft diameter, hole spacing and insert locking type. If you need to replace a Link-Belt, write to us on WhatsApp with the part number F3S2xxE or a photo of the part and we will indicate the compatible alternative.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I identify the flange housing I need?
Look at the part number stamped on the housing or on the insert. The Link-Belt series 200 uses a part number such as F3S2xxE, where the two middle digits indicate the shaft diameter. If you cannot see it, measure the shaft with a caliper and the distance between the flange holes.
What is the difference between a 3-bolt flange housing and a 2-bolt one?
The 3-bolt flange distributes loads better and allows mounting on thin sheet metal or profiles, while the 2-bolt one is used in simpler supports. The choice depends on the available space and the rigidity the shaft needs.
Are Link-Belt series 200 housings interchangeable with other brands?
They can be, but not always. Flange dimensions, center height and insert type vary between manufacturers. Before replacing, compare shaft diameter, hole spacing and locking system. If in doubt, send us the data and we will advise you.
