When a shaft needs to be supported perpendicular to a flat surface, a 4-bolt flange housing does the job. The Link-Belt CL series mounts directly to plates, walls and frames, so it fits equipment where a foot-mounted unit won't work. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this line to maintenance and purchasing teams across the United States and Latin America.

Reading the code helps you order the right unit. The first letter, F, tells you it's a 4-bolt flange housing. The number that follows is the shaft diameter in eighths of an inch, so a larger number means a larger shaft. CL identifies the housing series, and the letter N shows how the insert locks in place. Suffixes marked with an asterisk or triangle separate sealing and housing options within the series.

You'll find these housings on belt and chain conveyors, bucket elevators, mixers, screens, mills and other process equipment. Food plants, cement operations, aggregate sites and wastewater facilities use them because they mount easily on sheet metal structures and let you align the shaft in the plane of the flange. Fans, pumps and packaging machines with limited side space also rely on them.

Selection starts with the shaft diameter and the load type, whether radial only or combined with thrust. The CL series handles moderate loads with a self-aligning insert. Match the seal to the environment: dusty, wet or washdown conditions call for tighter sealing. During installation, set the flange on a clean, flat surface, tighten the four bolts in a cross pattern, and verify shaft alignment before final tightening. Follow the duty cycle for lubrication and check the insert's axial play.

4-bolt flange housings interchange between brands when the shaft number, bolt count and mounting center distance match. The same shaft diameter can differ in housing height and insert type, so compare those dimensions before replacing. A unit from another line with the same mounting dimensions will work. MR Industrial Accessories can point you to the compatible option.

Send the full housing code by WhatsApp, for example F3CL212N or F3CL218N, and we'll reply with a quote. If you need a sealing variant or a different shaft diameter in the CL series, tell us the model you're looking for and we'll suggest the alternative.
