A Browning VF2S bracket pairs a self-aligning insert bearing with a cast iron housing, giving you a two-bolt flange mount for rotating shafts. It suits equipment where the flange bolts vertically and the bearing takes care of the initial alignment. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this line as part of its power transmission range for customers in the United States and Latin America.
Reading the code helps you order the right size. The letters VF stand for the two-bolt flange, 2S identifies the housing series, and the trailing digits give the shaft diameter in inches. In the 100 series you will find VF2S-108 for a 1/2" shaft, VF2S-110 for 5/8", VF2S-112 for 3/4", VF2S-114 for 7/8", VF2S-115 for 15/16", VF2S-116 for 1", VF2S-118 for 1-1/8" and VF2S-119 for 1-3/16". The 100 series covers general duty; the VF2S 300 comes with a heavier housing for higher loads.
Typical installations include belt conveyors, bucket elevators, mixers, fans, centrifugal pumps and agricultural machinery. Food processing plants, flour mills, aggregate operations and packaging lines use them often, because two bolts on a vertical flange keep installation and changeout straightforward.
When selecting a unit, confirm the shaft diameter and consider the load, which is mainly radial in a vertical flange arrangement. The insert normally arrives lubricated and fitted with lip seals; for dusty or damp locations, specify the version with reinforced sealing. At mounting, line the flange up with the shaft and torque the insert fastening bolts as recommended. Relubricating on a regular schedule helps the bearing reach its expected service life.
Browning VF2S brackets interchange with other brands built to the same two-bolt flange pattern and inch shaft sizes. To replace an existing unit, compare both the flange dimensions and the shaft diameter. The MR team can point you to the matching equivalent.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I interpret the VF2S code on Browning brackets?
- VF means two-bolt flange, 2S is the housing series, and the numbers that follow indicate the shaft diameter in inches. VF2S-108 fits a 1/2" shaft, for instance, while VF2S-116 fits 1". The 100 series is the standard duty option; the 300 series uses a heavier housing.
- What should I check before choosing a bracket?
- Start with the shaft diameter, then look at the load, which is primarily radial with a vertical flange. In dusty or humid conditions, go with reinforced sealing. Make sure the two-bolt flange pattern matches your mounting surface. If anything is unclear, contact us on WhatsApp.
- Will a VF2S bracket fit where another brand was used?
- In most cases yes, since Browning VF2S brackets follow the two-bolt flange standard and inch shaft diameters, which makes them interchangeable with other brands that use the same dimensions. Always verify the flange measurements and shaft size before ordering.
