A LINK-BELT 200 series 4-bolt flange bearing housing bolts a rotating shaft to a flat surface at four points. The flange seats on sheet metal or cast iron, so the shaft stays centered and square to the mounting face. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this line and helps you match the right configuration to your shaft, load and operating conditions.

The code tells you what you are holding. Leading letters cover the housing style and flange, the digits that follow point to the bearing series, and trailing letters flag how the unit is sealed, locked or made. Take FC4U232N: a 4-bolt flange housing, a 200 series bearing, plus a suffix for the assembly variant. Once you read codes that way, ordering a replacement or a different execution becomes straightforward.

You will find these units on belt conveyors, bucket elevators, mixers, screens and process lines in food, chemical and aggregate operations. Washdown areas call for a protected housing, which is why sealed versions are common in plants that hose down equipment between shifts. Bolting through the flange lets you mount on folded sheet metal or welded brackets while keeping the shaft perpendicular to that surface.

Selection comes down to three things: shaft diameter, whether the load is radial, axial or combined, and what the surroundings throw at the unit. Dust, water or pressure washing points to heavier sealing. A shaft that runs with some misalignment may need self-aligning clearance. At installation, check that the flange sits flat, torque the four bolts in a cross pattern, and lubricate to suit the bearing type and operating temperature.

Swapping between brands of mounted housings works only when flange dimensions, shaft diameter and locking style line up. Many equivalent series share standardized footprints, yet seals, tolerances and housing materials can differ. Comparing the mounting drawing and the service conditions before substituting one code for another is the safe route. When the original code is hard to source, MR Industrial Accessories can point you to a compatible option.

Send the housing code by WhatsApp or email and our team will quote it promptly. If the code is worn off, we can identify the reference from a photo or from the shaft and flange dimensions. We supply the LINK-BELT line along with equivalent alternatives, so your equipment keeps running.
