Product Overview: The FL 211 2-Bolt Oval Flange Housing
The FL 211 is a robust and reliable two-bolt oval flange housing unit, designed to provide secure mounting for insert bearings on flat surfaces. As a key component in our FL 200 Series, this housing is engineered to support a 55mm shaft by accommodating a UC 211 insert bearing. Its durable cast iron construction ensures stability and longevity, making it an excellent choice for a wide range of industrial and agricultural applications. The oval shape with two mounting holes allows for easy installation where space is a consideration, offering a compact alternative to square flange units.
As a premier supplier of industrial mechanical parts, we ensure that every FL 211 housing meets rigorous industry standards. This unit is part of our comprehensive collection of Bearing Housing solutions, designed to simplify maintenance, protect bearings from contaminants, and provide rigid support to rotating shafts. Its integrated grease nipple facilitates easy relubrication, extending the service life of the housed bearing.
