LINK-BELT FC3CL2M series flange bearings are 3-bolt flange mounted units that hold a rotating shaft against a flat surface. They suit installations where the shaft runs at a right angle to the mounting face and needs compact, rigid support. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this line to industrial customers across the United States, Canada, Mexico and South America.

Break the code into its parts: FC stands for the flange type, 3 gives the number of bolt holes, CL is the locking method, M is the housing material, and N at the end is the seal style. In references such as FC3CL2M25N or FC3CL2M40N, the middle figure tracks the shaft diameter, so it changes from one part number to the next. That number is the first item to confirm when checking whether a unit will fit your shaft.

Typical duty points include belt conveyors, bucket elevators, mixers, mills and other process machinery. Food, cement, mining and aggregate plants use the 3-bolt flange to mount directly onto sheet metal or existing structures without machining, which matters where access is tight. Fans and centrifugal pumps also rely on these units when firm support and straightforward alignment are needed.

Selection comes down to shaft diameter, the nature of the load (radial, axial or a combination) and the surrounding conditions. The N seal in this series handles dust and moderate moisture; for frequent washdowns or fine particles, consider extra protection. At installation, seat the flange on a clean, flat surface, bring the three bolts up gradually in a cross pattern, and confirm the shaft turns freely before start-up. Proper lubrication and careful alignment help the bearing reach its expected service life.

For replacement, match the complete designation plus the key dimensions: shaft diameter, bolt hole spacing and flange outside diameter. Equivalent series from other manufacturers can differ in seal or locking design, so the shaft size alone is not enough. If you have the original part number, send it exactly as printed; if not, a photo together with the flange measurements is enough for us to identify a compatible option.
