Product Overview: The F 207 Four-Bolt Square Flange Housing
The F 207 is a robust and widely used four-bolt square flange housing unit, designed to securely mount a compatible insert bearing for applications with a 35mm shaft diameter. As an integral part of our Bearing Housing selection, this unit provides strong, reliable support for rotating shafts on flat surfaces. It belongs to the F Series family, known for its durable cast iron construction and straightforward installation. The F 207 is specifically part of the F 200 Series and is typically paired with a UC 207 insert bearing, creating a complete and efficient mounted bearing solution for various industrial environments.
Key Features of the F 207 Housing
- Durable Cast Iron Construction: Offers high strength, rigidity, and vibration damping for demanding operational conditions.
- Four-Bolt Mounting Design: Ensures a secure, stable, and rigid attachment to machine frames or surfaces.
- Square Flange Shape: Provides a wide mounting base for excellent stability and load distribution.
- Relubrication Facility: Equipped with a grease nipple, allowing for easy periodic lubrication to extend the life of the insert bearing.
- Standardized Dimensions: Manufactured to industry standards for interchangeability with other brands.
- Compatibility: Perfectly accommodates 207 series insert bearings, such as the popular UC 207.
Common Applications
- Conveyor Systems: Provides essential support for rollers and drive shafts, ensuring smooth material flow.
- Agricultural Machinery: Used in implements like combines, balers, and seeders where robust support is critical.
- Food and Beverage Processing: Suitable for mounting bearings in mixers, sorters, and packaging lines.
- Industrial Fans and Blowers: Offers stable mounting for fan shafts, contributing to balanced and efficient operation.
- Packaging Equipment: Ensures reliable performance in wrapping, bottling, and labeling machines.
- Textile Machinery: Provides dependable support for rollers and shafts in looms and spinning machines.
- Construction Equipment: Used in light-duty conveyors, mixers, and other machinery requiring reliable shaft support.
Benefits of Using the F 207 Housing
- Simplified Installation: The housing unit simplifies the process of mounting bearings, reducing assembly time and complexity.
- Enhanced Bearing Protection: Shields the insert bearing from contaminants, moisture, and physical impact, increasing its operational lifespan.
- Improved Machine Reliability: Provides a rigid and secure foundation for shafts, minimizing vibration and reducing stress on other components.
- Cost-Effective Maintenance: Allows for the quick replacement of just the insert bearing without needing to replace the entire assembly.
- Versatile Mounting: The square flange design is ideal for mounting on vertical or horizontal machine walls and frames.
- Increased Rigidity: The four-bolt pattern offers superior stability compared to two-bolt flange units, especially under higher loads or vibration.
