FAQs
Q1: What is F205 flange bearing?
The F205 4-BOLT FLANGE is a heavy duty economical solution that is durable with interchangeable housing.
Q2: What is the dissimilarity between pressed steel housed bearings and cast iron?
Cast iron units are stronger, and are used in applications with heavy loads.
Pressed steel units are lighter and they offer good rust resistance, so they have suitable for light duty use.
Q3: Can the flanged bearings be used for misalignment shaft?
Yes. The majority of flanged bearings have self-aligning bearing inserts that adjust to any possible misalignment.
Q4: Are the housed bearing units pre-lubricated?
Yes, all units are pre-lubricated and have grease nipples for re-lubrication as required.
