Flange Block Bearings

Flange bearings feature high-performance polymer construction. They are lightweight, self-lubricating, and maintenance-free. They are also resistant to corrosion, dirt, and dust. Spherical flange bearings help to compensate for alignment deviations.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.

A flanged housing with mounting holes connects these bearings directly to your system. They have a grooved inner diameter that's designed to work with spline shafts. Together, they transmit rotary power while allowing the bearing to move freely along the length of the shaft.Flange mounted bearings are used when the shaft axis is perpendicular to the bearing mounting surface. They incorprate a sealed bearing that is preassembled into a flanged housing.
