The SEALMASTER VTBS pillow block is a foot-mounted assembly that pairs an insert bearing with a cast iron housing. It supports rotating shafts where the unit must be bolted rigidly to the frame and aligned properly. The VTBS 200 series includes sizes for various shaft diameters and is fastened through the base with through bolts.

The code works like this: the last digits tell you the shaft size the insert fits. For instance, VTBS-208 is for a 1.1/2" shaft, while VTBS-210 is for a 1.5/8" shaft. When letters or extra numbers follow the main figure, as in VTBS-214 or VTBS-216, they point to differences in how the unit seals, locks, or what the housing is made of. To get the right one, share the complete code from the nameplate or the drawing of your equipment.

You will see these pillow blocks on belt conveyors, bucket elevators, mixers, mills, and other process machinery. The cast iron housing stands up to dust, moisture, and moderate loads. The insert has an inner ring that grips the shaft with set screws, so mounting and changeout on site are straightforward.

When selecting a pillow block, consider the shaft diameter, the radial and axial loads it will carry, and the sealing needed for the environment. In areas with heavy dust or water, choose an insert with reinforced lip seals. At assembly, set the base on a flat, clean surface, line up the shaft with the other support, and tighten the mounting bolts evenly. Grease the insert based on the duty cycle and verify axial clearance before starting up.

SEALMASTER VTBS pillow blocks interchange with other foot-mounted units that share the same shaft and bolt-hole standard. If your machine currently uses a pillow block from another brand, an equivalent VTBS will likely drop in without changing base dimensions or height. Send us a photo or the code of the existing assembly, and we will point you to the compatible option.

We can also guide you on installation and lubrication so the bearing runs under the right conditions.
