Description
LINK-BELT F3CL238N belongs to flange bearing 3 holes, part of our Bearing housings range. Tell us how many you need by WhatsApp or email and we'll get back to you promptly with a quote for F3CL238N and any equivalents.
A Link-Belt series 200 3-bolt flange bracket holds a rotating shaft against a flat surface, with the shaft running at a right angle to the flange. Three bolts carry the load into the structure, so the bearing can sit on sheet metal or a frame that has no machined housing. Typical duty includes conveyors, mixers, elevators and process equipment.
The part number is built in blocks. The first letter tells you the housing style: F is the 3-bolt flange. The digits after it give the nominal shaft size, and the CL suffix marks the mounted bearing series. So F3CL232N is a flange bracket for a 2-inch shaft, and other numbers in the same family cover larger shafts. The trailing N indicates the sealing or locking version of the assembly.
These brackets show up on belt and chain conveyors, bucket elevators, mixers, agitators and packaging lines, as well as water treatment equipment, mills and food processing machinery. The 200 series is aimed at general-purpose shafts in plants that want spare parts that are easy to identify from the part number.
Selection comes down to shaft diameter, flange mounting style and working conditions. Sealing matters most: where dust, water or washdowns are present, a reinforced seal version is the better choice. The lubricant has to suit the operating temperature and speed. At installation, seat the flange on a flat surface, line up the shaft, then tighten the three bolts evenly; uneven tightening distorts the housing and shortens bearing life.
Equivalent brackets from other brands exist, and interchangeability is decided by flange dimensions, hole spacing, shaft diameter and mounting type, not by the part number alone. When ordering a replacement, compare those dimensions and check how the shaft is locked before you commit.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I identify the flange bracket I need?
- Check the part number on the housing and measure the shaft diameter. Send both to us and we will quote the matching bracket. If the number is unreadable, a photo of the flange plus the shaft measurement works just as well.
- What does CL mean in the designation?
- CL marks the mounted bearing series in the Link-Belt family. It covers the housing type and the shaft locking system, but it does not set the shaft size, which is read from the number that follows.
- Can another brand's bracket replace it?
- Yes, provided the flange dimensions, hole spacing and shaft diameter line up. The part number alone is not enough to confirm interchangeability, so send us the measurements and we will point you to a compatible alternative we supply.
