For rotating shafts in industrial machinery, the SEALMASTER VS series insert bearing is a single row ball bearing with an extended inner ring. It fits into split or solid housings and handles radial loads in conveyors, fans, mixers and other process equipment. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this line to customers across the United States and in several Latin American countries.

The VS series covers several insert sizes, and the number after the hyphen tells you which one. Within the VS 100, VS 200 and VS 300 series, suffixes and variants define the shaft diameter, outer ring and locking method. To pick the right part number, note the shaft diameter and the housing it will sit in. Send those details and we will identify the exact reference.

Typical installations include conveyor belts, bucket elevators, centrifugal fans, mixers, screens and food and beverage processing lines. These inserts also appear in grain handling, meatpacking, tanneries, paper mills and mining operations. They work on shafts turning at moderate speeds where radial load is combined with some axial load.

When selecting an insert, confirm the shaft diameter and how it locks to the shaft: set screw, eccentric or taper. Sealing matters in dusty, wet or washdown conditions, where extra protection is recommended. During mounting, clean the seat, align the housing and lubricate before closing. Correct internal clearance and careful alignment help prevent vibration and support bearing life.

Insert bearings can often be swapped between brands when the series number and shaft dimensions match, but locking systems and seals may differ from one maker to another. No universal cross-reference table exists, so always compare shaft diameter, inner ring width and locking type. If you are replacing a SEALMASTER with another brand, send us the part number and we will identify a compatible alternative.
