Product Overview: The FC 213 Two-Bolt Round Cartridge Flange Housing
The FC 213 is a robust and reliable two-bolt round cartridge flange unit, an integral part of our FC 200 Series of Bearing Housings. This unit is specifically designed to house a 65mm shaft insert bearing, such as the UC 213, providing secure support for rotating shafts mounted on perpendicular surfaces. Its cylindrical outer surface allows for precise and secure fitting into a machined bore, making it an excellent choice for applications requiring accurate shaft alignment and support within a compact design.
Constructed from high-quality cast iron, the FC 213 housing is built to withstand demanding industrial environments. It provides a stable and protective enclosure for the bearing, extending its operational life and ensuring consistent machinery performance. As a key component in mounted bearing solutions, this cartridge flange unit is widely used across various industries for its simplicity, durability, and ease of installation.
