A 3-bolt flange unit from the BROWNING VF3S 100-M line pairs a cast iron housing with a self-aligning insert bearing. The flange sits flat against a plate or frame and is held by three fastening points, which suits shafts that need firm but adjustable support.

Reading the part number is straightforward once you know the blocks. VF3S is the 3-bolt flange housing, 100-M is the insert series, and the middle digits give the shaft size. So VF3S-108M and VF3S-110M use the same housing with a different insert diameter, and VF3S-114M and VF3S-116M follow the same pattern. The M suffix marks the sealing variant of the insert.

You will find these units on belt conveyors, bucket elevators, mixers, screens and process lines in food, chemical and aggregate operations, as well as in milling equipment, bottling plants and material handling systems where a shaft is supported on a plate or frame. Three bolts make sense where access is tight and the mounting surface is flat.

Selection starts with the shaft diameter. From there, confirm the insert is self-aligning and that its sealing matches the environment, whether that means dust, water or washdown. During mounting, the flange should rest without being distorted and the three bolts should be tightened evenly. Check alignment against the adjacent support and lubricate the insert according to its seal type. Where vibration is present, inspect bolt tightness and seal condition as part of routine maintenance.

Insert bearing units interchange between brands on dimensions: the same shaft diameter, hole spacing and flange type. Assemblies from other manufacturers that hold those dimensions can stand in for the BROWNING VF3S 100-M series. Send the complete part number and shaft dimensions and we will identify the compatible option.
