Flange Bearing

          Flange bearings, also called flange mounted bearings or flange devices, are used to mount ball   bearings on vertical surfaces. The term 'flange' is used to protrude flat edges, rings or ribs on an object,   or to  maintain or strengthen its position on the rail.

       With flange bearings, sealed bearings are contained within the pre-assembled flange housing,       allowing the inner ring to rotate freely in a solid and stable environment.

       There are different types of flange bearings, all designed for specific applications, all with load and    performance characteristics, as well as other designs and cages. But all flange bearings are designed to    be strong and robust against water or contaminants. This makes it ideal for supporting high loads, such    as additional mounting devices with rotary or linear motion.

     Since the housing can be unscrewed and removed, flange bearings are much easier to replace than     rotary pressure-adjusted bearings.

      The housing, a precise terrain perpendicular to the axis of the bearing, has two, three or four     mounting holes and can be diamond-shaped, triangular or square. Since there are several variations, it   can be understood that flange bearings are made of various materials.

     The most common are cast iron, light pressure cast zinc, pressed steel, plastic, nylon, PTFE , acetal   polymer and stainless steel. Each unit is equipped with a rubber cap and an oil cap with spring cap to   reduce noise and vibration.

     Flange bearings are used in many different industries, but they are commonly used in light   applications such as automatic conveyors, belt drives, machine building, food industry, medical     processing and some agricultural machines. It can handle heavy loads and resistance to water and   chemicals, which makes it ideal for the food industry process despite its limited temperature range.

    Flange bearings are a variety of devices that are durable and can be used for a variety of purposes. If   it is on the market, choose the type of bearing suitable for your specific application to avoid unnecessary wear.
