Product Overview: The FL 206 Flange Bearing Housing Unit
The FL 206 Flange Bearing Housing Unit is a robust and versatile component designed for secure and reliable mounting of insert ball bearings (typically from the UC 200 Series) onto various machinery and equipment. As part of our comprehensive FL 200 Series and broader FL Series of Bearing Housings, the FL 206 is engineered to provide stable shaft support and protection for the insert bearing, ensuring smooth operation even in demanding industrial environments. This unit is particularly well-suited for applications requiring a compact, bolted-down mounting solution, often found on vertical or angled surfaces where traditional pillow blocks might not be ideal.
We specialize in providing high-quality industrial bearings and mechanical parts, and our FL 206 units are manufactured to stringent industry standards. They are designed for easy installation and maintenance, offering excellent durability and extending the service life of your rotational assemblies. Explore our full range of bearing housings to find the perfect fit for your specific industrial requirements.
Key Features of the FL 206 Housing
- Four-Bolt Flange Design: Features a sturdy square flange with four mounting bolt holes, ensuring secure and stable attachment to machine frames or walls.
- Robust Construction: Made from high-grade cast iron or pressed steel, providing excellent strength and resistance to operational stresses.
- Accommodates Insert Bearings: Specifically designed to house compatible insert ball bearings (e.g., UC 206), allowing for easy replacement and simplified maintenance.
- Pre-Lubrication Capability: Often includes a grease fitting for convenient re-lubrication, extending bearing life and reducing friction.
- Corrosion Resistance: Finished with protective coatings to resist rust and corrosion, ensuring long-term performance in various environments.
- Dimensional Accuracy: Manufactured with precision to ensure correct fitment and optimal performance of the housed bearing.
