Product Overview: The FL 214 2-Bolt Oval Flange Bearing Housing
The FL 214 is a robust and reliable two-bolt oval flange housing designed for securely mounting insert bearings with a 70mm shaft diameter. As a key component in our FL 200 Series, this unit provides a stable and compact mounting solution, particularly in applications where space is limited. The oval shape and two-bolt design allow for straightforward installation and alignment on machine frames and surfaces. Constructed from high-grade cast iron, the FL 214 ensures durability and rigidity, protecting the enclosed bearing from operational stresses and environmental factors.
This housing is engineered to be paired with a compatible insert bearing, such as the UC 214, to create a complete mounted bearing assembly. These units are indispensable in a wide range of industrial equipment, offering a simplified and effective method for supporting rotating shafts. Explore our full range of Bearing Housing solutions to find the perfect match for your mechanical application.
Key Features of the FL 214 Housing
- Two-Bolt Oval Design: Allows for easy and secure mounting on flat surfaces, ideal for applications with limited space.
- Durable Cast Iron Construction: Provides excellent strength, vibration damping, and longevity in demanding industrial environments.
- Compatibility: Designed to house a 70mm shaft insert bearing (e.g., UC 214), enabling the creation of a complete bearing unit.
- Relubrication Feature: Typically equipped with a grease nipple, allowing for periodic lubrication to extend the service life of the insert bearing.
- Simplified Mounting: Facilitates quick installation and replacement, reducing machine downtime and maintenance efforts.
- Rigid Support: Offers firm and stable support for the bearing, ensuring smooth shaft rotation and preventing misalignment.
