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 the part numbers in this family differ by shaft size. The final S distinguishes the insert mounted in that unit. By providing the complete part number, MR can quote 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 with the shaft diameter and the load type: 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 lubrication type, which may 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.
Across brands, 4-bolt flange housings with insert are interchangeable by shaft number and housing configuration, but tolerances, sealing and shaft locking system vary. Matching the diameter is not enough: the hole spacing, flange diameter and insert type must be compared. With the original part number at hand, MR Accesorios Industriales indicates the compatible alternative.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the part number 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 part number, MR can quote 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 your application and we will guide you.
- Can it be replaced by another brand?
- Yes, flange housings with insert are interchangeable by shaft diameter and housing configuration. Hole spacing, flange diameter and sealing type must be compared. With the original part number, MR Accesorios Industriales indicates the compatible alternative.
