A LINK-BELT 200 series piloted flange housing combines a circular flange and a mounted bearing, bolted to a flat face so the pilot keeps the assembly centered. It suits shafts that need a flush, well-aligned mounting on conveyors, mixers and process equipment. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this line to customers in the United States and Latin America, and can help you confirm the right code.

Reading the FC…S…E code is straightforward. FC tells you it is a piloted flange housing. The digit after FC sets both the flange size and the pilot diameter. S points to the mounted bearing series, here the 200 series. The next number is the shaft size in inches. A trailing E means the unit has a contact seal. So FC3S220E is a piloted flange housing for a 2-inch shaft, using a 200 series bearing and an E-type seal. FC3S222E, FC3S223E and FC3S224E follow the same pattern for other shaft diameters.

Typical installations include belt and chain conveyors, bucket elevators, mixers, agitators, blowers and continuous process lines. Flange mounting helps when the bearing must sit against a wall or frame and be taken apart quickly, which is why these housings appear in food, cement, paper, chemical and plastics plants, as well as in road machinery and material handling equipment.

When selecting a housing, look at shaft diameter, the load type (radial, axial or combined) and the operating environment. The 200 series is intended for moderate loads and medium speeds. The E seal guards against dust and moisture; in very dirty conditions, consider extra sealing. At mounting, make sure the face is clean and flat and that the pilot enters without force. Correct lubrication and checking axial play help the bearing last.

LINK-BELT 200 series housings interchange with other brands that use the same piloted flange and 200 series mounted bearing nomenclature.
