Description

SEALMASTER VFCB-223 is a piloted flange bearing reference, within Bearing housings. Request a quote for VFCB-223 via WhatsApp or email with the quantity you need; we respond promptly with lead time and equivalents.

The VFCB housing is a piloted flange mounted bearing: the unit combines a housing with a mounting flange and an insert bearing, so that the flange centers the unit on the machine face and the holes secure it with bolts. It is used when the shaft must be supported against a flat surface and remain perpendicular to it, without the need for a pillow block housing or take-up frames. MR Accesorios Industriales sells this SEALMASTER line in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

The designation reads in blocks: the letters VFCB identify the piloted flange family and the number that follows indicates the size of the insert and the housing. That is why the VFCB 200 series and the VFCB 300 series coexist, grouping different sizes within the same mounting geometry. The examples VFCB-218, VFCB-219, VFCB-220, VFCB-222, VFCB-223, VFCB-224, VFCB-226 and VFCB-227 show how the numeric suffix changes from one size to another. Send the complete part number and we will indicate the corresponding variant.

In Argentine industry these housings appear in belt conveyors, bucket elevators, mixers, blowers and process lines where the shaft works against a wall or a frame. They are also seen in aggregate processing equipment, food plants and agricultural machinery, whenever a centering flange is needed rather than a pillow block housing. The piloted flange simplifies alignment because the centering diameter fits into the machining of the frame.

To choose correctly, take into account the shaft diameter, the type of sealing required by the environment (dust, water or washdown) and the internal clearance of the insert. During mounting, rest the flange on a clean, flat face, tighten the bolts in a cross pattern and check that the shaft turns without effort before starting the machine. Lubrication and periodic relubrication extend the life of the insert, especially in applications with temperature or contamination.

Between brands, interchangeability is resolved by part number and by flange dimensions, centering and shaft diameter: different companies use their own nomenclature, so equivalence is confirmed with the complete part number and the mounting dimensions. If the housing you are looking for does not appear with that suffix, write to us on WhatsApp with the part number or model and we will quote you the compatible alternative. MR Accesorios Industriales works with SEALMASTER and with the main mounted bearing lines.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the VFCB 200 series and the VFCB 300 series?
They are two groupings of sizes within the same piloted flange family. The size of the insert and the housing change, not the mounting geometry. Send the complete part number on WhatsApp and we will indicate which one corresponds to your shaft.
How do I request the equivalence with another brand?
Send the housing part number and the mounting dimensions: shaft diameter, centering and hole spacing. With that we will indicate the compatible alternative from SEALMASTER or from another line we sell, without you having to adapt the frame.
Can the insert bearing be relubricated?
Yes, most inserts in this family allow periodic relubrication. The frequency depends on the environment and the operating hours. If the equipment operates with dust or washdown, it is advisable to check the sealing and the condition of the grease at each maintenance stop.
