Description
SEALMASTER VFCS-220S 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 VFCS-220S and any equivalents.
The VFCS from SEALMASTER is a piloted flange mounted bearing unit, meaning an insert bearing sits inside a circular flange housing that bolts flat against a machine frame. It keeps the shaft square to the mounting face and centers the bearing in a circular opening, which suits conveyors, mixers and other process equipment. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this line and can help you pin down the right variant.
Read the reference in three steps. VFCS names the piloted flange housing family with insert bearing. The middle figure, 220 or 232 in VFCS-220S and VFCS-232S, sets the insert size and with it the shaft diameter the unit takes. The trailing S marks a construction configuration inside the series, typically tied to sealing or flange shape. Those three pieces let you find the exact item in the SEALMASTER catalog and order by full part number.
Plants in food and beverage, material handling, water treatment and packaging rely on these units. Four bolts fix the piloted flange to sheet metal or cast iron, and the shaft stays perpendicular to that surface. Belt conveyors, bucket elevators and vertical agitators are typical hosts, since the bearing has to sit centered on a circular opening.
Selection comes down to shaft diameter, load type (radial, axial or combined) and site conditions. The insert seal decides how well the unit handles dust, water or washdown. At mounting, keep the surface clean and flat, tighten the bolts evenly and line the shaft up with the bearing. Lubrication and periodic retightening of the set screws round out a dependable installation.
Several brands offer piloted flange units under their own nomenclatures, and they do not swap automatically. Check shaft diameter, hole spacing, pilot diameter and insert fixing type before substituting. An equivalent reference often exists. Send MR the original part number or the key dimensions and we will point you to the compatible option.
For a unit already in service, message the full part number on WhatsApp, for example VFCS-220S or VFCS-232S, or the shaft and flange dimensions. We will quote promptly and confirm the variant fits your application.

- Check the shaft diameter, the flange hole spacing, the pilot diameter and the insert fixing type. Send those figures or the original part number to MR and we will confirm the equivalence.
- Where are piloted flange housings used?
- They appear in conveyors, elevators, agitators and process machines where the shaft runs perpendicular to a mounting surface, often in food, beverage, water treatment and material handling operations.
