Product Overview: The FL 207 2-Bolt Oval Flange Bearing Housing
The FL 207 is a robust and reliable 2-bolt oval flange housing unit, designed for mounting insert bearings onto machinery surfaces. As a key component in our Bearing Housing collection, this unit is part of the versatile FL 200 Series. It is specifically engineered to accommodate a 207 series insert bearing, making it suitable for shafts with a 35mm diameter. The oval shape and two-bolt design allow for easy installation and precise alignment in applications where space might be limited or a compact mounting solution is required.
Constructed from high-grade cast iron, the FL 207 provides exceptional stability and durability, ensuring secure support for rotating shafts in various industrial environments. It typically features a grease nipple for convenient relubrication, which helps in extending the service life of the housed bearing. This housing is an essential part for creating reliable mounted bearing solutions in conveyor systems, agricultural equipment, and production machinery. For a complete assembly, pair this housing with a compatible insert bearing such as the UC 207.
