For shafts that need to sit at a right angle to a flat mounting surface, the SEALMASTER FB series flange Y-bearing unit provides a bolted solution. It handles combined radial and axial loads of moderate size. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this line to maintenance and purchasing teams throughout the United States and in several Latin American countries.

Reading the code is straightforward once you know the pattern. The letters FB come first, followed by a number that ties to a specific housing size and insert bearing. Codes such as FB-8, FB-10 and FB-12 each represent a different flange and shaft diameter. That number is not a direct measurement in millimeters or inches; it is an internal series reference that must be matched against a dimension table. If you send the full code or simply the shaft diameter you need, we will point you to the compatible option.

You will find these units on belt conveyors, packaging lines, mixers, blowers, centrifugal pumps and other process equipment in food, chemical and aggregate plants. Flange mounting makes them a practical choice for fastening to sheet metal or structural profiles, which is why they also appear on agricultural machinery and irrigation systems where shaft alignment needs to stay simple.

Selection comes down to three things: shaft diameter, load type (radial, axial or combined) and the environment. The insert seal determines whether the unit can handle dust, moisture or frequent washdowns. When mounting, make sure the flange sits flat and tighten the bolts evenly so the housing does not distort. Relubricate the insert according to the duty cycle, and keep the shaft and flange aligned to avoid parasitic loads that reduce service life.

Interchange between brands is based on part number and mounting dimensions, not on the commercial name. Two units with the same shaft diameter can still differ in bolt spacing or flange diameter. If you are replacing a SEALMASTER FB with another make, compare the mounting drawing first. Our team can help you identify the option that fits your equipment.

If you already have the unit code, send it by WhatsApp together with the shaft diameter or a photo of the flange. We will quote it promptly. Looking for a variant you do not see? Write to us with the model and we will suggest the alternative that best suits your application.
