The VF4S 200 series is a mounted bearing unit that pairs a cast iron flange housing with a sealed insert bearing. The housing has four mounting holes in a square pattern, so the shaft passes through sheet metal or a structure and is held perpendicular to a flat face. It is a practical choice when a firm, centered support is needed.

The part number breaks down into blocks. VF stands for the flange housing type, 4 for the number of mounting holes, and S for the housing variant. The number after that is the shaft diameter, which is why each size in the family has its own part number. The final S identifies the insert already mounted in the unit. Give MR the complete part number and we can quote the exact size.

You will find these units on belt and chain conveyors, mixers, screens, extractors, bucket elevators and process lines. In food plants, mills, feed lots and treatment plants, the 4-bolt flange is chosen because it mounts on a machined surface and keeps the shaft perpendicular. They also serve as replacements on older machines when the original housing is no longer available and the whole unit must be changed.

Start selection with shaft diameter and load type: the 4-bolt flange handles radial loads and some axial load. Then check the insert sealing for the environment—dust, water or washdown—and decide between permanent or relubricable lubrication. During mounting, seat the flange on a clean, flat face, tighten the four bolts in a cross pattern and confirm shaft alignment before start-up.

Four-bolt flange housings with insert are interchangeable across brands by shaft number and housing configuration, but tolerances, sealing and shaft locking method differ. Matching the diameter alone is not enough: compare hole spacing, flange diameter and insert type. With the original part number, MR Industrial Accessories can point you to a compatible alternative.

To replace a unit in this series, send the complete part number by WhatsApp along with a photo of the unit and the shaft size. MR Industrial Accessories will quote it promptly and, where applicable, suggest an equivalent. We help with the selection and mounting of housings and insert bearings for industrial equipment.
