The LINK-BELT FC CL N is a 3-bolt flange mounted bearing from the 200 series, as detailed in the Rexnord / Link-Belt Bearings BR101 catalog. It supports rotating shafts on flat surfaces, secured with three bolts and aligned directly through the flange holes. This design suits equipment that needs compact support, straightforward mounting and dismounting, and the capacity to handle combined loads.
The part number breaks down into three segments: FC for the 3-bolt flange housing, CL for the mounted bearing series with set screw locking, and N for the cast iron housing with a grease fitting. The numbers in between indicate the shaft diameter in inches for series 200. This coding lets you identify both size and configuration at a glance.
These flange bearings are common in belt conveyors, bucket elevators, mixers, mills, centrifugal pumps and process equipment across food, chemical and cement plants. They also appear in agricultural machinery and packaging lines, where the 3-bolt flange simplifies mounting on sheet metal or profiles. The design accommodates shaft alignment with moderate tolerances and absorbs small misalignments typical of welded structures.
When selecting a unit, confirm the shaft diameter, the load type (radial, axial or combined) and the operating environment. The standard sealing guards against dust and moisture; for frequent washdowns, consider additional seals. Installation requires a flat surface, bolts tightened in a cross pattern, and shaft alignment before final fastening. Lubricate with lithium grease or equivalent, taking care not to overfill the housing. Excessive axial play can signal insert wear.
LINK-BELT housings in this series interchange with other brands that follow the same 3-bolt flange standard and series 200 shaft diameters. Before requesting a quote, compare flange dimensions, hole spacing, bolt diameter and the insert locking type. MR can point you to a compatible alternative. Always verify dimensions before substituting one housing for another.
To request a quote for a LINK-BELT FC CL N flange bearing, send the complete code or your shaft dimensions via WhatsApp or email. MR will reply promptly and help ensure correct mounting. We can also suggest variants within the same family if your application calls for a different fastening or sealing arrangement.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the FC CL N designation mean in LINK-BELT housings?
- FC stands for 3-bolt flange; CL for set screw locking; N for cast iron housing with grease fitting. The intermediate numbers give the shaft diameter in inches for series 200.
- How do I choose the right housing for my application?
- You need the shaft diameter, load type and environmental conditions. Also check flange hole spacing and bolt diameter. With that information, we can quote the exact model.
- What lubrication and maintenance does this housing require?
- Use lithium grease or equivalent through the grease fitting. Avoid overfilling. Periodically inspect axial play and seal condition; if worn, replace the insert or the complete housing.
