Description

SEALMASTER VF4S-232S is a flange bearing 4 holes reference, within Bearing housings. Request a quote for VF4S-232S via WhatsApp or email with the quantity you need; we respond promptly with lead time and equivalents.

The 4-bolt flange housing of the VF4S 200 series is a mounted bearing: the unit combines the cast iron housing with an insert bearing already mounted and sealed. It is used to support rotating shafts on a flat face, with the four mounting holes arranged in a square pattern. It is a common solution in equipment where the shaft passes through the sheet metal or structure and a firm, centered mounting is required.

The VF4S 200 series designation is read in blocks. The letters VF indicate the flange housing type; the 4 indicates the four mounting holes; the S corresponds to the housing variant. The number that follows identifies the shaft diameter: that is why VF4S-220S and VF4S-232S are the same family with a different shaft size. The final S distinguishes the insert mounted in that unit. By providing the complete code, MR quotes the exact size.

These housings appear in belt and chain conveyors, mixers, screens, extractors, bucket elevators and process lines. In food plants, mills, feed lots and treatment plants they are chosen for the 4-bolt flange, which allows mounting on a machined surface and keeps the shaft perpendicular. They are also used in old machines where the original housing is no longer available and the complete unit must be replaced.

To select correctly, start from the shaft diameter and the type of load: the 4-bolt flange works best with radial loads and some axial load. Check the insert sealing according to the environment (dust, water, washdown) and the type of lubrication, which can be permanent or relubricable. During mounting, seat the flange on a clean, flat face, tighten the four bolts in a cross pattern and verify shaft alignment before start-up.

Among brands, 4-bolt flange housings with insert are interchanged by shaft number and housing configuration, but tolerances, sealing and the shaft locking system vary. Matching the diameter is not enough: the hole spacing, flange diameter and insert type must be compared. With the original code at hand, MR Accesorios Industriales indicates the compatible alternative.

If you need to replace a VF4S 200 housing, send the complete code by WhatsApp along with a photo of the unit and the shaft size. MR Accesorios Industriales will quote it promptly and, if applicable, indicate the equivalent alternative. With more than 80 years in the field, we support the selection and mounting of housings and insert bearings for industrial equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the code VF4S-220S mean?
The letters VF indicate flange housing, the 4 the mounting holes and the S the housing variant. The number 220 identifies the shaft diameter and the final S, the mounted insert. By providing the complete code, MR quotes the exact size.
How do I choose between a flange housing and a pillow block?
The 4-bolt flange is mounted on a flat face and keeps the shaft perpendicular to that surface; the pillow block rests on the base. If the shaft passes through sheet metal or a structure, the flange is usually the right option. Tell us the application and we will guide you.
Can it be replaced with another brand?
Yes, flange housings with insert are interchanged by shaft diameter and housing configuration. Hole spacing, flange diameter and sealing type must be compared. With the original code, MR Accesorios Industriales indicates the compatible alternative.
