The FBMH-T series from SEALMASTER is a flange bracket supplied as a complete unit: a cast iron housing fitted with a ball insert bearing, ready to bolt onto a flat surface. It suits shafts in equipment where mounting through a flange, vertically or horizontally, keeps the structure simple. Typical duty is moderate load with straightforward alignment, in conveyors, fans, mixers and similar process machinery.

Read the reference in two blocks. The leading letters point to the flange bracket family with insert bearing, and the digits after them give the shaft diameter the insert bore is machined for. In FBMH-20RT, for instance, the number matches the shaft size of the unit. The RT suffix marks the housing and insert variant inside the series, so two references sharing a number but carrying different suffixes do not swap: for a replacement, order with the full part number.

These brackets turn up on belt and chain conveyors, bucket elevators, mixers, exhausters and centrifugal fans, as well as in milling, food processing and aggregate lines. Washing equipment and machines that need the shaft carried on a flange bolted to a frame or structural sheet are other common spots. The cast iron housing takes the shaft load, while the ball insert keeps rotation going with less attention than a conventional rigid support.

Selection starts with the shaft diameter and the complete unit part number. Then check the flange layout and the hole spacing against the equipment drawing, and match the insert sealing type to the working environment, since dust, wash water and fine chips each call for different protection. At mounting, set the flange on a clean, flat surface, tighten the screws in a cross pattern, and verify shaft alignment before start-up. Grease the insert to suit its duty and recheck the fit after the first hours of running.

Brackets with insert bearings cross between makers by shaft number and flange configuration, not by each brand's part number. To move from a SEALMASTER FBMH-T to another make, compare shaft diameter, hole count and spacing, center height and sealing type; a valid equivalent can only be pinned down with those figures. Where the equipment uses a special flange, MR manufactures split pillow block housings and can point to a compatible option from the lines it carries.
