Product Overview: The FL 205 Two-Bolt Flange Bearing Unit
The FL 205 Flange Bearing Unit is a robust and compact solution designed for applications requiring reliable shaft support in a mounted configuration. As part of our comprehensive FL 200 Series and overall FL Series of Bearing Housing products, this unit features a durable cast iron housing with an oval two-bolt mounting design, making it ideal for installation on vertical surfaces or where space is limited. It integrates a high-quality Insert Ball Bearing, typically a UC 205 type, which is pre-lubricated and sealed to protect against contaminants and ensure a long service life.
The FL 205 unit is engineered for straightforward installation and dependable performance in light to medium-duty industrial environments. Its design allows for initial misalignment compensation, contributing to smoother operation and reduced wear on associated machinery components. We are committed to supplying industrial bearings and mechanical parts that meet rigorous industry standards, providing efficiency and longevity for your equipment.
Key Features of the FL 205 Flange Bearing Unit
- Two-Bolt Oval Flange Design: Provides secure and stable mounting, particularly suited for confined spaces or vertical installations.
- Integrated Insert Ball Bearing: Houses a precision-engineered insert bearing, typically from the UC 200 Series, for reliable rotational support.
- Durable Cast Iron Housing: Offers robust protection for the internal bearing, ensuring structural integrity and resistance to operational stresses.
- Pre-Lubricated and Sealed: The insert bearing comes pre-filled with grease and is equipped with seals to prevent lubricant leakage and ingress of dirt and moisture, minimizing maintenance.
