This Rexnord flange housing is a mounted bearing designed to be bolted to a flat surface with two fasteners. It suits setups where the shaft runs perpendicular to the mounting plane and space is limited, while still providing a self-aligning, sealed assembly. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this line for power transmission equipment in plants and workshops across the United States and several Latin American countries.

The part number tells you what you are holding. Take FX3W2E20E or FX3W2E32E from the 200 series: FX marks the two-bolt flange, the following digits correspond to the nominal shaft diameter, and the suffixes cover fastening style and sealing. Reading the code this way keeps you from mixing up shaft size with mounting hole spacing when you order a replacement.

You will find these housings on belt conveyors, bucket elevators, mixers, mills and process equipment where the output shaft sits on a plate or frame. They also appear in food, chemical and materials handling machinery, provided the flange can be rigidly fastened and the seal keeps out dust and moisture. Typical installations include food processing, cement, aggregate and water treatment plants.

Selection comes down to three checks: shaft diameter, distance between flange holes, and the load type—radial, axial or combined. Sealing matters most in dusty or washdown areas; contact lip or labyrinth versions handle those conditions better. During mounting, line up the flange with the structure, tighten bolts in a cross pattern, and lubricate for the actual operating conditions. A housing that is not aligned will shorten bearing and shaft life.

Flange mounted housings can often be swapped between brands by shaft number and flange configuration, but hole dimensions and center height are not universal across series. Before replacing a unit, compare the full part number and the critical dimensions. A compatible alternative from another line may work, or a custom housing can be manufactured. MR Industrial Accessories LLC helps you find the option that fits your machine.
