Product Overview: The F 208 Flange Bearing Housing
The F 208 Flange Bearing Housing is a robust and reliable component designed for stationary industrial machinery, providing sturdy support and easy mounting for insert bearings. As part of our specialized F Series and F 200 Series Bearing Housing offerings, this unit is engineered to accommodate an insert ball bearing, typically an UC 208 bearing, with a 40mm shaft bore. The four-bolt square flange design ensures a secure and stable installation on various machine frames or structures.
Crafted from high-quality cast iron, the F 208 housing is built to withstand demanding operating conditions, including heavy loads, vibrations, and harsh environments. Its design facilitates easy assembly and disassembly, simplifying maintenance and bearing replacement. The unit’s inherent ability to allow the insert bearing to self-align slightly compensates for initial shaft misalignment, which helps to extend the lifespan of both the bearing and the machinery. We are committed to supplying top-tier industrial bearings and mechanical parts that contribute to the efficiency and longevity of your operations.
