Description
SEALMASTER VFCB-332 belongs to piloted flange bearing, part of our Bearing housings range. Tell us how many you need by WhatsApp or email and we'll get back to you promptly with a quote for VFCB-332 and any equivalents.
The VFCB is a piloted flange mounted bearing unit. It pairs a flanged housing with an insert bearing, so the pilot diameter centers the assembly on a machined face while bolts hold it in place. This configuration supports a shaft perpendicular to a flat surface without requiring a pillow block or take-up frame.
The part number breaks down into two parts: VFCB denotes the piloted flange family, and the number that follows indicates the size of both the insert and the housing. That is why the VFCB 200 series and VFCB 300 series exist side by side, covering different sizes within the same mounting style. Examples such as VFCB-218, VFCB-219, VFCB-220, VFCB-222, VFCB-223, VFCB-224, VFCB-226 and VFCB-227 show how the numeric suffix shifts from one size to the next. Provide the complete part number and we will identify the exact variant.
In industrial settings, these housings are common on belt conveyors, bucket elevators, mixers, blowers and process lines where the shaft runs against a wall or frame. They also appear in aggregate processing, food plants and agricultural machinery whenever a centering flange is preferred over a pillow block. The pilot diameter fits into the frame machining, which simplifies alignment.
When selecting, consider the shaft diameter, the sealing needed for the environment (dust, water or washdown) and the internal clearance of the insert. For mounting, place the flange on a clean, flat face, tighten the bolts in a cross pattern and verify that the shaft turns freely before startup. Lubrication and periodic relubrication help extend insert life, particularly in applications with temperature or contamination.
Interchangeability between brands is handled by part number and by flange dimensions, centering and shaft diameter. Manufacturers use their own nomenclature, so equivalence is confirmed with the complete part number and mounting dimensions. If your housing does not appear with a given suffix, contact us on WhatsApp with the part number or model and we will quote a compatible alternative.

Frequently asked questions
- What is the difference between the VFCB 200 series and the VFCB 300 series?
- They are two size groupings within the same piloted flange family. The insert and housing sizes change, but the mounting geometry does not. Send the complete part number on WhatsApp and we will confirm which one matches your shaft.
- How do I request an equivalent from another brand?
- Send the housing part number and the mounting dimensions: shaft diameter, centering and hole spacing. With that information we will identify a compatible alternative from SEALMASTER or another line we carry, so you do not have to modify the frame.
- Can the insert bearing be relubricated?
- Yes, most inserts in this family allow periodic relubrication. The interval depends on the environment and operating hours. If the equipment runs with dust or washdown, check the sealing and grease condition at each maintenance stop.
