The LINK-BELT FC 200 series piloted flange unit is a flanged mounted bearing, designed to fix rotating shafts directly onto a machined face. The piloted flange centers the assembly in the housing and the fixing screws ensure a rigid union. It is used in equipment where the shaft must be perpendicular to the mounting surface, with precise alignment and transmission of combined loads.

The designation FC#S#M#E is read in blocks: FC indicates the four-bolt piloted flange; the first number after FC defines the series size, in this case the 200 series; the intermediate S indicates the sealing type; the M refers to the method of fixing the inner ring to the shaft; and the final E distinguishes the mounting variant. The examples FC3S2M35E and FC3S2M40E show how the shaft diameter changes: 35 and 40 mm respectively. This logic allows each configuration to be identified without ambiguity.

In Argentine industry, these units appear in belt conveyors, bucket elevators, mixers, mills and process equipment. They are also found in food machinery, water treatment plants and ventilation systems. The piloted flange is common where the unit is bolted to a sheet or a machined crankcase and the shaft is to be centered precisely, without the need for an additional housing.

To select the correct unit, take into account the shaft diameter, the type of load (radial, axial or combined) and the environmental conditions. The S sealing protects against dust and humidity; if the equipment operates with frequent washing, it is advisable to verify the degree of protection. Mounting requires that the support face be clean and flat, and that the screws be tightened in a cross pattern so as not to deform the flange. Adequate lubrication and correct internal clearance prolong the life of the bearing.

LINK-BELT FC 200 series units are interchangeable with other brands that use the same piloted flange standard and equivalent shaft diameters. When requesting a quote, it is advisable to compare not only the shaft diameter but also the distance between holes, the pilot diameter and the type of fixing. MR Accesorios Industriales sells this line as an official brand and can tell you the compatible alternative if you need to replace an existing equipment.
