The SEALMASTER FBMH-T series flange housing with insert bearing is an assembled unit that combines a cast iron housing with a ball insert bearing, ready to mount on a flat surface. It is used to support shafts in equipment where vertical or horizontal flange mounting simplifies the structure, and it is common in conveyors, fans, mixers and process machinery that works with moderate loads and requires simple alignment.

The FBMH-T series designation is read in blocks: the initial letters identify the family of flange housing with insert bearing, and the number that follows indicates the shaft diameter for which the insert bore is machined. In the example FBMH-20RT, that number corresponds to the shaft size of the unit. The RT suffix defines the housing and insert variant within the same series, so two references with the same number but a different suffix are not interchangeable with each other: to order the correct replacement, it is best to provide the complete part number.

In Argentine industry these housings appear in belt and chain conveyors, bucket elevators, mixers, exhausters and centrifugal fans, and in milling, food and aggregate processing lines. They are also found in washing equipment and in machines where the shaft must be supported on a flange bolted to a frame or structural plate. The cast iron housing absorbs the shaft load and the ball insert allows rotation with little maintenance compared to a conventional rigid support.

To select the housing, start from the shaft diameter and the complete part number of the unit, and check the flange layout and the distance between mounting holes against the equipment drawing. Check the insert sealing type according to the environment: dust, washdown water or fine chips require different protection. During mounting, rest the flange on a clean, flat surface, tighten the bolts in a cross pattern and check shaft alignment before start-up. Lubricate the insert according to its duty cycle and recheck the tightening after the first hours of operation.

Insert bearing housings are interchanged between manufacturers by shaft number and flange configuration, not by each brand's part number. To replace a SEALMASTER FBMH-T with another brand, you must compare shaft diameter, number and spacing of holes, center height and sealing type; only with that data can a valid equivalent be defined. If the equipment has a special flange, MR Accesorios Industriales manufactures split plummer block housings and custom parts, and can also tell you the compatible alternative within the lines it carries.

If you already have the housing part number, the shaft number or a photo of the flange, send it on WhatsApp to MR Accesorios Industriales and we'll quote it shortly. With more than 80 years in the business, since 1945, we work with bearings, housings, power transmission, seals, bushings, mounting tools and lubricants so you can resolve the replacement in a single inquiry.
