Product Overview: The FL 213 2-Bolt Oval Flange Housing Unit
The FL 213 is a robust two-bolt oval flange housing unit, designed for secure mounting of insert bearings on flat surfaces. As a key component in our FL Series of Bearing Housings, it provides reliable support for rotating shafts in a wide variety of mechanical applications. The FL 213 is specifically designed to accommodate insert bearings with a 65mm shaft size, such as the UC 213, making it a versatile and essential part for industrial machinery.
Constructed from high-grade cast iron, this housing ensures durability and stability, even in demanding operational environments. Its design simplifies installation and maintenance, featuring a grease nipple for easy relubrication, which helps extend the service life of the bearing. The spherical seat of the housing allows it to accommodate initial misalignment, protecting the bearing from excessive stress and premature wear.
Key Features of the FL 213 Housing
