igubal flange mounted bearings

Flange mounted bearings guide, support and enable the rotary movement of a shaft in a variety of applications and simultaneously bear axial and radial loads. Spherical, self-aligning spherical insert bearings can be used to implement different angular degrees, giving them the flexibility to compensate for misalignments. With wide-ranging applications in industries such as mechanical engineering, automotive, packaging, food and beverage, construction, mining, agriculture and energy, flange mounted bearings are highly versatile.

Due to its slim design, the two hole flange bearing in particular is often used in applications where space or installation flexibility is limited.

The bearing housings are made from various materials such as grey cast iron, cast light metal, plastic or sheet steel and can be easily attached to the machine carrier.

Pillow block bearings and flange mounted bearings are two different types of housing bearings that provide strong support for rotating elements.

Pillow block bearings have a housing with a flat underside that can be assembled on a flat surface. In flange mounted bearings, the spherical insert bearing is held in a flange bearing housing for lateral mounting, which has a different number of mounting holes depending on the housing type. The two hole flange bearing and four hole flange bearing are the most common.

Common types of housing bearing units are:

• UCF and UCFE = square flange housing with four mounting holes
• UCFL and UCFLE = flange housing with two mounting holes
• UCP and UCPE = pillow block bearing

The choice of a flange mounted bearing depends on various factors, including the type of application, load, speed and environment. It is important to consider the technical specifications of the flange mounted bearing required, including size, load capacity and rotation speed.
