Flange Block Bearings

Flange bearings are used to provide support for shafts that run perpendicular to the bearing mounting surface.52100 Chrome Steel bearings are prelubricated and regreaseable. They feature rubber seals and cast-iron housings.UHMW-PE bearings are ideal for washdown applications in wet or harsh environments. They are self-lubricating, and are interchangeable with most metal units.

Bronze bearings are porous for continuous lubrication. Each features a rustproof plated finish, and a large, felt-lined oil reservoir. Oil fillers on base-mount models can be rotated to 4 different positions. Flange-mount models have oil fillers at 45° from bolt holes. Use in lighter-duty mounted bearing applications.

A flange bearing is a type of mounted bearing in which the mounted shaft runs perpendicular to the mounting surface and the center line of the mounting holes. This is in contrast to a pillow block bearing, in which the mounted shaft runs parallel to the mounting surface.

Flange bearings consist of a flanged housing and an insert bearing. The housing is typically made from cast iron or cast steel while the bearing can be made from a wide variety of materials.
