The FB series flange Y-bearing unit is a mounted bearing with a flange housing, designed to secure rotating shafts to a flat surface using bolts. It is used when the shaft must be perpendicular to the mounting plane and the load combines moderate radial and axial forces. SEALMASTER is a brand MR Accesorios Industriales sells in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

The FB series designation is read as FB followed by a number that identifies the size of the housing and the insert bearing. For example, FB-8, FB-10 and FB-12 correspond to different flange sizes and shaft diameters. The numeric suffix does not directly indicate the diameter in millimeters or inches: it is an internal series reference that is cross-referenced with dimension tables. To choose the right one, send the complete code or the shaft diameter you need and we will indicate the compatible alternative.

These units are used in belt conveyors, packaging lines, mixers, blowers, centrifugal pumps and process equipment in food, chemical and aggregate processing plants. In Argentina they are common in the meatpacking industry, flour mills and packaging lines, where flange mounting simplifies fastening to sheet metal or profile structures. They are also used in agricultural machinery and irrigation equipment, because the flange housing makes shaft alignment easy.

To select the unit, take into account the shaft diameter, the type of load (radial, axial or combined) and the environmental conditions. The insert's sealing defines whether the unit is suitable for dust, moisture or frequent washdowns. During mounting, check that the flange sits flat and that the bolts are tightened evenly to avoid deforming the housing. The insert's lubrication must be renewed according to the duty cycle, and alignment between shaft and flange prevents parasitic loads that shorten service life.

As for equivalents, flange units with insert bearings are interchanged between brands by part number and mounting dimensions, not by the commercial designation. The same shaft diameter may have a different bolt spacing or flange diameter depending on the manufacturer. Therefore, if you need to replace a SEALMASTER FB with another brand, it is advisable to compare the mounting drawing. At MR Accesorios Industriales we advise you to find the option compatible with your equipment.

If you already have the code of the unit you need, send it by WhatsApp along with the shaft diameter or a photo of the flange. We will quote it shortly and, if you are looking for a variant you do not see, write to us with the model and we will indicate the alternative that best suits your application.
