The SFTMH-20R is a two-bolt flange bracket from SEALMASTER that pairs a bearing insert with a cast iron housing, giving rotating shafts a fixed, well-supported anchor point on a machine frame or structure. Plants choose this style when a shaft needs firm support that goes on quickly and stays aligned, as found on conveyors, mixers and fans. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies SEALMASTER and helps buyers match the right variant to the job.

Reading the code helps when you are comparing options. The letters SFTMH point to the bracket family and its flange layout, the digits that follow give the shaft size the insert fits, and the trailing R marks a build variation within the line, tied to details such as sealing or housing form. In SFTMH-20R, then, 20 is the shaft size and R is the variant. If any part of the code is unclear, send it over and we will confirm what it means.

These brackets turn up wherever a drive shaft needs steady, aligned support: belt conveyors, bucket elevators, agitators, centrifugal pumps and similar process equipment. Food, chemical, cement and material handling operations use them often, and so do agricultural machinery and packaging lines that get washed down regularly. The two-bolt flange mounts through simple holes in sheet metal or a fabricated frame, which keeps changeouts in the plant straightforward.

Selection comes down to a few basics: shaft diameter, whether the load is radial, axial or combined, and what the surroundings demand. The insert seal is what stands between the bearing and dust, water or chemical splash, so match the seal style to how exposed the location is. Use the lubricant the manufacturer calls for and check it on a regular schedule. At installation, seat the flange flat and draw the bolts down evenly; uneven tightening distorts the housing and throws the shaft out of line, which shortens bearing life.

Swapping in an SFTMH bracket from a different maker is not a straight match every time. Compare the flange footprint, hole spacing, shaft diameter and how the insert locks in place. Two brackets can take the same shaft yet differ in center height or seal arrangement. If you want an alternative, give us the original code and we will point you to a compatible option.
