The LINK-BELT 200 series piloted flange bearing housing is a circular flange mounted bearing unit that is bolted to a flat face, with the pilot centered in the housing. It is used to support shafts in equipment where the mounting must be flush and centered, such as conveyors, mixers and process machines. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies this line in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and advises you on choosing the correct code.
The designation FC#S#E is read in parts: FC indicates the piloted flange housing; the first number after FC defines the flange size and pilot diameter; the S indicates the mounted bearing series, in this case the 200 series; the second number is the nominal shaft diameter in inches; and the final E identifies the version with contact seal. Thus, FC3S220E is a piloted flange housing for a 2-inch shaft, with a 200 series bearing and E-type seal. The examples FC3S222E, FC3S223E and FC3S224E follow the same logic for 2 1/4, 2 3/16 and 2 1/2 inch shafts, respectively.
These housings are used in belt and chain conveyors, bucket elevators, mixers, agitators, blowers and continuous process equipment. In Argentina they are found in food, cement, paper, chemical and plastics plants, where flange mounting facilitates alignment and quick disassembly. They are also used in road machinery and material handling equipment that operates with shafts supported on walls or frames.
To select the housing, take into account the shaft diameter, the type of load (radial, axial or combined) and the environmental conditions. The 200 series accepts moderate loads and medium speeds. The E seal protects against dust and moisture; if the environment is very dirty, additional seals should be evaluated. During mounting, verify that the support face is clean and flat, and that the pilot enters without forcing. Proper lubrication and control of axial clearance extend bearing life.
LINK-BELT 200 series housings are interchangeable with other brands that use the same piloted flange and 200 series mounted bearing nomenclature. When requesting a quote, indicate the complete code (FC3S220E, FC3S226E, etc.) and the working conditions. MR Accesorios Industriales quotes the housing and, if you need a specific variant, indicates the compatible alternative or manufactures it to measure.
