A Comprehensive Guide to Flange Bearings: Types and Packaging


Release time:

2023-08-21

Introduction:
Flange bearings, also known as mounted bearings or pillow block bearings, are widely used in industries such as automotive, construction, agriculture, and manufacturing. These bearings are designed to support rotating shafts and provide stability and alignment. Understanding the different types and packaging options can help you choose the right flange bearing for your application.
Types of Flange Bearings:
1. Two-Bolt Flange Bearings: These flange bearings have two mounting bolt holes, allowing for easy installation and removal. They are commonly used in conveyor systems, HVAC units, and agricultural machinery. Two-bolt flange bearings offer excellent radial and thrust load capacity.
2. Four-Bolt Flange Bearings: As the name suggests, these bearings have four mounting bolt holes, providing increased stability and load capacity. Four-bolt flange bearings are ideal for heavy-duty applications, including mining equipment, industrial fans, and pumps.
3. Round Flange Bearings: Round flange bearings have a circular flange that can be mounted directly on a shaft or wall. They are commonly used in conveyors, packaging machinery, and material handling systems. Round flange bearings offer easy installation and provide high load-carrying capacity.
4. Square Flange Bearings: Square flange bearings have a square-shaped flange with mounting bolt holes. They are suitable for applications requiring precise alignment, such as printing presses, textile machinery, and woodworking equipment.
Packaging Options:
Flange bearings are typically packaged in sturdy boxes or cartons to ensure their safe transportation and storage. The packaging may vary depending on the manufacturer and the quantity of bearings being shipped. Some common packaging options include:
1. Individual Packaging: In this packaging option, each flange bearing is packed separately in a box or bag. This ensures that the bearings remain protected from dust, moisture, and damage during transit.
2. Bulk Packaging: Suitable for larger quantities, bulk packaging involves placing multiple flange bearings in a larger box or carton. Each bearing may be individually wrapped or separated by dividers to prevent friction and potential damage.
3. Custom Packaging: Some manufacturers offer customized packaging options to meet specific customer requirements. This may include branding, labeling, or special protective measures based on the application or industry.
Conclusion:
Flange bearings are essential components in various industrial applications, offering stability, alignment, and load-carrying capacity. Understanding the different types and packaging options can help you select the right flange bearing for your specific needs. Whether you require two-bolt, four-bolt, round, or square flange bearings, ensuring proper packaging will guarantee their safe arrival and optimal performance in your machinery or equipment.

Post code for self-aligning roller bearings

Install the tapered hole self-aligning roller bearings with the rear codes K and K30 on the matching locking sleeve to become the K+H and K30+H type bearings with the rear codes. This type of bearing can be installed on an optical shaft without a shoulder, and is suitable for occasions where frequent installation and disassembly of bearings are required. In order to improve the lubrication performance of the bearing, there is an annular oil groove on the outer ring of the bearing and three evenly distributed oil holes are drilled, with the post code W33.

What are the types of Deep Groove Ball Bearing?

Deep Groove Ball Bearing is mainly used to bear radial load, but it is also commonly used to bear radial and axial combined load. Especially when the speed of mechanical equipment is high and thrust bearings are not suitable, this bearing can be used to withstand bidirectional pure axial loads without maintenance during operation, making it a low-cost and widely used bearing. Deep Groove Ball Bearing models include: Deep Groove Ball Bearing (60000);

What are the characteristics of Deep Groove Ball Bearing?

After the Deep Groove Ball Bearing is installed on the shaft, the axial displacement in both directions of the shaft or housing can be limited within the axial clearance range of the bearing, so the axial positioning can be made in both directions. In addition, this type of bearing also has a certain degree of centering ability. When tilted 2 'to 10' relative to the casing hole, it can still work normally, but it has a certain impact on the bearing life.
