The SEALMASTER VB series insert bearing is a ball bearing with an extended inner ring, made to sit inside split or pillow block housings and create a mounted bearing unit. It supports rotating shafts where alignment is straightforward and maintenance access is simple. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this line and helps you identify the correct code for your equipment.
Codes in the VB series include VB-212, VB-214, VB-215, VB-216, VB-218, VB-219, VB-220 and VB-222. The number indicates the shaft diameter the insert fits. Any suffix or variant in a part number points to the inner ring locking method, the seal type or the insert design. For a quote, send the full code from the bearing or the housing plate.
Typical applications include belt conveyors, bucket elevators, mixers, mills, screens, centrifugal pumps, fans and general process equipment. They are common in food, cement, mining, paper and agro-industrial plants, and in older or imported machines where the housing is already in place and only the insert needs replacing.
When selecting, consider shaft diameter, inner ring locking (set screws, eccentric or tapered adapter), the sealing needed for the environment (dust, water, washdown) and the intended lubrication. During mounting, check that the housing is aligned and that the insert seats without force. Misalignment or inadequate sealing reduces bearing life more than any other factor.
To replace an insert from another brand, compare the main dimensions: shaft diameter, insert outer diameter and total width. With those figures, you can find an equivalent within the SEALMASTER line or evaluate a compatible alternative. The code does not have to match exactly; an insert from another series or brand often performs the same function if the mounting dimensions are respected.
Send the code from the bearing or housing via WhatsApp, or the main dimensions if you do not have it. MR Industrial Accessories LLC quotes the SEALMASTER VB series insert you need and, when applicable, suggests a compatible alternative. We can also review the complete assembly if you send a photo of the housing and shaft.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the number in a VB-212 insert bearing mean?
- The number relates to the shaft diameter the insert is made for. In the VB series, codes such as VB-212, VB-214 or VB-216 correspond to different shaft sizes. To confirm the exact size, check the equipment drawing or measure the shaft with a caliper.
- How do I know if a VB insert replaces the one I have mounted?
- Compare the shaft diameter, the insert outer diameter and the total width. If those three dimensions match, interchangeability is very likely. Also check the inner ring locking type and the sealing, as these determine performance in your application.
- What data do I need to request a quote via WhatsApp?
- Send the complete code that appears on the bearing or on the housing. If you do not have it, send the main dimensions of the insert and a photo of the assembly. With that we will quote the SEALMASTER VB series reference or indicate a compatible alternative promptly.
